Using multiple rows of a Data Source in a single TestRequest step

Does anyone know of a relatively simple way to consume multiple rows of a Datasource in one Test Request step? The scenario here being able to combine multiple rows in a worksheet into a single bat...

Hi,

there is no really easy way to do this currently; you will need to create a groovy script that manually builds the entire XML block by calling the next( testRunner, context ) method of the DataSource step to get the next row, something like

def xml = ...

def dataSource = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["DataSource"]
while( dataSource.next() )
{
    xml += .. add to xml block..
}

context.blockOfXml = xml

and then use this variable with

${blockOfXml}

in your request..

Hope this helps!
