How can I use the values read from a data source in a conditional GOTO?

Is "GetData" not showing up there when you right click?

Sorry, no.

It looks to expect a previous step to have been executed. "Message displayed is: Missing previous request step." when I try to specify the condition. The conditional goto looks to work when a previous SOAP or JDBC step has been executed as "Condition xpath expression" can then be specified. this is not the case for what I intend to do.

 

I have a DataSource step followed by the Conditional GoTo.

I intend to check a flag/data value read from data source and GoTo different steps given the value of the Flag.

 

Thanks.

    I believe that it is existing behaviour. If you need to do apply condition for a data source value, probably you may need to raise an enhancement using below link:

    https://community.smartbear.com/t5/ReadyAPI-Feature-Requests/idb-p/ReadyAPIFeatureRequests

    SmartBear team will look into these enhancements and prioritize based on number of votes for the same.

    Alternatively, you may need to write a groovy script to handle the same to proceed.
