cannot obtain data source from a specific row
Hello, I'm currently trying to use a feature of data source loops from the example
Obtain property values of the specific row
but it does not work.
I have a loop with several elements that can be related. ie. in row 1 I have a device, in row 2 and 3 I have related devices.
I use the loop to create the devices, if the main device is not eligible I don't create it, but I also don't want to create the related devices. A device is eligible depending on the data in column deviceType
The related devices' deviceType does not matter.
So I use an additional data in my source : the offset between the current row and the main device's row
If I detect that my device is not a main device but a related device (an offset exists) I want to be able to get the main device's deviceType, ie. get the column from the source at row = (current_row - offset)
In my script I do the follwing :
def row = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["DataSource"].currentRow
def relatedtooffset = context.expand( '${DataSource#related to offset}' )
def deviceType = context.expand( '${DataSource#deviceType}' )
if ((relatedtooffset != "n/a") && ((deviceType == "LIGHT")||(deviceType == "GENERIC_DEVICE")))
{
relatedtooffset = relatedtooffset.toInteger()
log.info relatedtooffset
device_row = row - relatedtooffset
log.info "test info = " + context.expand( '${DataSouceTestStep#deviceType::0} ') // here I set 0 just to check that something can be displayed
}
but this does not display anything. Moreover, I don't know how to set the value in the expression, shall I set $device_row instead of 0 ?
I tried statically (just playing the script) and dynamically for the context but it does not change anything
krogold :
Why don't you use groovy script logic instead of DataSource Loop, as i am not sure that you can change the iteration number at runtime. DataSource will run sequentially.
Or if you want to use DataSource then you load all the properties at starting and then use the properties later on as described in this link.
