passing result or variable value from Groovy to test step

[ravienu]

Dear Team,

I have query below to achieve one of the requirements. I am using ReadyAPI with proper license.

I would like to pass Goovy script result as one request body(XML/JSON) parameter for API. I have written a Groovy script and test step under it. But dont know how to specify groovy result as body request parameter.

For example:

def today = new Date()
today.format("dd/MM/yyyy")

//Add some random number to Date field and store it in some variable like cutom_date

Now  I would like to pass custom_date as request body(XML) parameter for API step under the groovy script  as below

........
........
<app_date>?</app_date>
.......
.......

cutom_date from groovy script should come and sit at ? place above.

Can anyone help on this please ?

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

testStep = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["YourApiRequestStep"]

def Response = testStep.getProperty("response").value;

def someFieldYouWantToSave = ""

if (Response == null) {
log.error('No Response found.');
}
else {
def jSlurper = new JsonSlurper();
def json = jSlurper.parseText(Response);
if (json.get("theFieldFromTheResponse") == null){
log.error "TheFieldFromTheResponse not found in response. Please execute the teststep and try again"
} else { omegle 
someFieldYouWantToSave = json.get("theFieldFromTheResponse").toString()

// YOUR LOGIC HERE FOR MODIFYING THE "someFieldYouWantToSave" value

//SAVE THE FIELD
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("someFieldYouWantToSave", someFieldYouWantToSave)
}
} Thank you omegle chat
