How can I programatically set (or write to) a "Properties" test step value?

[sprice090161]

I have already located the syntat to set a test cases custom property:

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "foo", bar )

This writes to the property defined under the "Custom Properties" tab, but I want to write to a property defined in the test cases local "Properties" test step.

Is this supported?

What's the use case?

Hi @sprice090161 ,

If you are talking about Properties Test Step inside a Test Case, then you can use below syntax:

testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Name of properties step").setPropertyValue("foo",bar);

If you are looking for something else then please elaborate.

Perfect!

Yes, the test step, not the test cases properties. For that I had the syntax from the Tips/Tricks section.

Thank you

testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Name of properties step").setPropertyValue("foo","bar");
Iam doing the same using setPropertyValue to add Custom Property to TESTSTEP but it doesnt add atall.
This works when adding to TestCase or TestSuite but not to a TestStep.
