    Task: Create a script that will filter data retrieved from a DataSource

     

    This is a solution created for [TechCorner Challenge #14]

     

    sonya_m :

     

    So, i have updated the script in order to meet the criteria, please give it a try:

     

     

    def Participant_Location = context.expand( '${DataSource#Participant_Location}' )

if(Participant_Location.toLowerCase() == "boston"){
	testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Register User").run(testRunner, context);
	testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Buy a Ticket").run(testRunner, context);
}
else{
//	Disabling them in order them not to run
	testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Register User").setDisabled(true)
	testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Buy a Ticket").setDisabled(true)
}

Hope i have understand correctly i have created below small script as the solution, have a look :

def Participant_Location = context.expand( '${DataSource#Participant_Location}' )

if(Participant_Location.toLowerCase() == "boston"){
	testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TEST__STEP__NAME").run(testRunner, context);
}
else{
//	Do Nothing
}

 

Below is the Screenshot how my Test Suite looks like:

    Thank you HimanshuTayal ! This is a nice script, working great!

     

    However, one tiny change could improve it and make a perfect match for the task🙂

    In your script, one particular step is run, while we expect that all test steps after the script will be run if the criteria are met!

     

    Would you like to try implementing this?

     

    Let me provide an image for better understanding.
