Change REST API Service for existing steps

[ihorstep]

Hi everyone!

I have a project with two similar REST API services but with some differences in structure.

One of them is deprecated in terms of a project (but still usable) and another one is more actual and preferred to use.

I've decided to remove old service completely.

What I need is a way to change REST API Service for existing testSteps that uses old service across whole project.

Currently I have found only one solution, that is to change service+resource path inside .xml files of each testCase.

But still it's quite risky to do since it might corrupt testCases. 

Is there any suggestions how can I do it from groovy script?

Hi @ihorstep 

Have you tried using environments to apply changes to an entire service? With environments you can define different endpoints or properties that would apply to a specified service. Added a link to our page on environments below.

Hi @SarahS 

I did found a solution after some research - using groovy script to iterate over all testCases in the project and filter REST steps while changing their 'resource' API in the process.

But still, thanks for the info.
