"Run TestCase" and use properties of target TestSuite

    Hm, I found two work-arounds:

    call a testStep from the target context -

     

    in the testStep-properties, create vars:

     

    one - create a var with the TestSuite name from which I want to get the properties as value. This way I can reference the TestSuite in a script.

     

    two - create a var with the value calling another variable in the target context, i.e. var A - value=(${#TestSuite#targetvariable})

     

    I am still not satisfied completely. I think there must be a way to tell where a testStep is called from programatically, i.e. to find the target context from within the called testCase

Hello and thank you for your answer. I see what you mean - if the boxes on returning origin properties are not checked, then the properties that are transferred into the test case are used.

 

What I wanted to do, however, is reference a property from the calling TestSuite, say in a SOAP Call - i.e. ${#TestSuite#Property}.

In my test, this reference always defaults to the origin Test Suite property - not the one in the context, where the TestCase is called.

The problem with using properties in the called Test Step is, that I need to first transfer the properties there, which means that I need an additional Step to do it.

 

Do you have any suggestions?
