Saw this question recently. Was thinking if it can be done something to this.
Came up with below solution. And the details below::
- SoapUI allows the customization for different actions.
- User can write own library to different actions.
- In this case, user is cloning a test step, Searched for "CloneTestStepAction" in github
- There are two matches.
-- one file is Java. Search for "Copy of", there are couple of references. If you feel no need of that string, Have your class, say "CustomCloneTestStepAction", use same code from original class, remove unwanted "Copy of". Compile and create jar file. Place it under READYAPI_HOME/bin/ext directory. Say this new class is in package "org.nmrao.soapui.actions" (of course, you can have your own package. But this is used in next point.
-- another file xml. Search for "CloneTestStepAction", copy that entry, but replace the class name with your class. Create a simple xml file as below, say custom-actions.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tns:soapui-actions xmlns:tns="http://eviware.com/soapui/config">
<tns:action id="CloneTestStepAction"
actionClass="org.nmrao.soapui.actions.CustomCloneTestStepAction"/>
</tns:soapui-actions>
Copy the above file under READYAPI_HOME/bin/actions
Restart the tool.
Time to test.
When you press F9 key for a test step, you won't see the prefix "Copy of" any more as you removed it in the custom class.
Similarly, actions can be implemented for Test Case, Test Suite cloning.
If you want the default behaviour back, it's simple, remove the jar file, and xml file from the above locations.
NOTE that above works fine for the Open Source and not sure on the Pro (in case if there is different class used for the readyapi), you can try though
Could try this because of SoapUI is Open Source.
