Unable to maintain session between Test Suites.

[Tush]

I am trying to modularize my test cases. For example there are 4 test suites(A,B,C,Lib)
'Lib' testsuite contains Login to session and other common functions(testcases) which are called from other TestSuits(A,B,C) .
I want to maintain the session created in 'LIb' across all my other Testsuites.
Tried-
1. enable "Maintain HTTP Session"
2. Copy HTTP Session under "Run Test cases options"
3. Added cookies in Header via "Events" tab.(https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/scripts/samples/headers.html)

None of the above solution worked.

How can I maintain the same session across the TestSuits?

In case, if you are using Events and sending Cookie as Header, then you do not have to use Maintain Http Session.

I tried sending the cookie via Header, but while running the test case multiple instances of "Cookie" headers were created.

Is there any other way to maintain a single session across all the Test suites?

[nmrao]

Not really how you saved the cookie? test case level? suite level?
Is the same cookie to be used for all the steps spread across test cases and suites?

In 'Lib' testsuite, we extract and save the session ID to a variable using groovy script.
Then I add header parameter named 'cookie' to all my API requests and pass the variable value.
I am able to execute my tests this way.

Issue: I have to update my API's everyday. While I do this I need to keep adding Header parameter to all my API's,which is a gruesome process.

yes,I need to use the same cookie across all the test cases and test Suits.

Can you show the script which does that?

[Tush]

After running "Login" test case, I extract the session ID from the Login response header.

def harResponse = context.expand( '${#[Lib#startSession#login]#HarResponse#$[\'headers\'][7][\'value\']}' )

I then pass this value to cookie parameter in my API requests.

[nmrao]

I was saying to persist it at suite level / project level (so that all suites can use this).

Use this project level value in the Events to set a cookie.

It will be helpful if you could provide the steps to resolve the issue.
