Reading DataSource Items in a Script following a JSON
Hi guys,
I have a REST Request that is a JSON. I am using a datasource to input various values into the request. This is in the format as so -
${DataSource#Postcode}
If I look in the raw request message, this is working fine and populating from the DataSource. However when I try and reference the request message in a property script -
def jsonrequest = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("RESTRequest").getHttpRequest().getRequestContent()
I get this error -
groovy.json.JsonException: Unable to determine the current character, it is not a string, number, array, or object
The current character read is '$' with an int value of 36
Unable to determine the current character, it is not a string, number, array, or object
line number 1
index number 4333
It appears that it is not referencing the request containing the values from the datasource, but rather the raw text. How can I fix this? I've used this method successfully in XMLs before.

If you use property expansion to get the request content, do you get an error. It would look something like
def jsonrequest = context.expand( '${TestStepName#Request}' )
or
def jsonrequest = context.expand( '${TestStepName#RawRequest}' )
You can use the GetData option within the script to build that for you
