ReadyAPI-POST Request- Implement dateTime script in all teststeps
Hi,
As I finished to increment the files with a date stamp ( see solution here ) I was looking into it how to execute this script for all the teststeps in the testcase.
But then I understood that I actually should write a code for each teststep separatly. As this is time consuming and cumbersume in maintenance, I would like some suggestions as how to do so. Also thinking about that I will need to batchrun those test in do time.
So my testcase looks like this:
In this code I'm pointing to a file on my harddrive but I was thinking about to point to the teststeps Request body where I'm getting the file (that is 64based coded).
the Request json body looks like this:
Does anybody has an idea how to do this? Or another way to do this?
I can't put this in an event as this is just for this testcase and 1 in another TestSuite. Not sure if I need to re-use this in future testcases....
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
AAB
So, aaronpliu thanks for your information. Meanwhile I've tried it a different way. But it's not completely OK yet. I will place my solution here and create another ticket for the next issue. 🙂
So the groovy script will fetch the file from a folder within ReadyAPI project called "FilesToUse". From there on it's going to depict the name of the file: get the name of the file, delete the extension, adding datetime with a separator "-" and adding the extension again. That works allready.
// get document from path and append with DateTime //use the commons.io from apache //cfr https://community.smartbear.com/t5/API-Functional-Security-Testing/ReadyAPI-append-date-in-a-filename/m-p/221103#M49504 //cfr Joost De Geyndt import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils import groovy.json.* //get the basePath to your harddrive def projectpath = context.expand( '${#Project#projectpath}' ) //get the folder with files in your composite folder def path = projectpath + File.separator + "FilesToUse" log.info path //create a new arrayList to put all the files in it ArrayList<File> files = new ArrayList<>(); File directory = new File(path); File[] fList = directory.listFiles(); int filesInFolder = fList.size() //get all the files from harddrive with an iteration int iteration = 1 for(File file : fList){ /* *****************************Generate file with DateTime stamp */ //generate datetime def date = new Date().format('yyMMddhhmm') log.info date //read filename def readName = file.getName() log.info readName //get the extension of the filename def getExtension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(readName) log.info getExtension //remove extension readName def filenameWithoutExtension = FilenameUtils.removeExtension(readName) log.info filenameWithoutExtension //filenameWithoutExtension.replaceAll("^[\\d]+", "") ---Not working //filenameWithoutExtension.replaceAll("[0-9]", "") ---Not working def addDate = filenameWithoutExtension + "-" + "${date}" as String log.info addDate //re-add the extension def newFileName = addDate + "." + getExtension log.info newFileName /* ***************************End DateTime**************************************** */ file.renameTo(path + File.separator + newFileName) //encode in base64 def base = new File(projectpath + File.separator + "FilesToUse"+ File.separator + newFileName).getText('UTF-8').bytes.encodeBase64().toString() //to be able to see which file contains wich extension (for more ease of point in the RequestBody) add the extension in the description testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("newFileName_"+ getExtension, base) iteration++ }I have 2 files in the folder for testing purposes. The response looks like this:
In the body of the teststep (that is a POST request) I'm getting the result like this:
"document": "${#TestCase#newFileName_html}",Running this TestSuite once is excelent. But now I've got issues that for each run it's adding that dateTime, and resulting in
So next ticket will be linked to this.
TBD
Kind regards,
