Solution Script to Cleanup of Custom property values in the project
It is noticed that many were looking for a feature where users like to clean the custom property values. This eases to push the actual changes to repository (instead of just property values changes).
Here is the context and feature request that was submitted long time ago and many were seeking this feature.
Here I came up with a script which does exactly users are asking for.
- In order to make the script flexible and dynamic, user need to add a project level property, say CLEAN_PROPERTIES and "false" as default value.
- Though users like to clean property values, some might still wish to keep value for certain properties. To accomodate, users can add the property names which they don't want to clean up. Allows properties at test case, suite, and project levels. You don't have to do anything if you want to clean all properties.
- The script has to be copied in the "Save Script" tab at the project level (double click project to see the same)
- You don't have to run this script manually, this will automatically get triggered when project is saved on a condition that CLEANUP_PROPERTIES value is set true. Once it cleans the properties, the value is set to false to allow users not show the (repository) differences. This condition helps not to lose the property values while work in progress and project is saved. Once user changes to the project are complete and about to check-in the changes in to repositories, set the value to true and save. Now the project is ready the way users wanted.
Here goes the script:
/**
* Project level's Save Script
* Cleans up all the custom properties
* If CLEAN_PROPERTIES value of project property is set to true
* And save the project
*
*/
def ignoreTestCaseProperties = [ ]
def ignoreTestSuiteProperties = [ ]
def ignoreProjectProperties = ['CLEAN_PROPERTIES']
def cleanProperties = { model, list -> model.properties.keySet().findAll{ !(it in list) } each { tProp -> model.setPropertyValue(tProp,'') } }
if ('true' == project.getPropertyValue('CLEAN_PROPERTIES')) {
project.testSuiteList.each { tSuite ->
cleanProperties(tSuite, ignoreTestSuiteProperties)
tSuite.testCaseList.each { tCase -> cleanProperties(tCase, ignoreTestCaseProperties) }
}
cleanProperties(project, ignoreProjectProperties)
project.setPropertyValue('CLEAN_PROPERTIES', 'false')
}
Hope this is useful.
Hi,
i found nmrao's solution fine.
Arthur's solution is nice too.
For now i prefer to use this simple solution in 'setup script' for example to clear testcase properties:
context.testCase.properties.each { context.testCase.properties[it.key].value = '' }But Arthur's solution looks nice because we can delete all properties ending with a certain suffix.
I need to work on these two solutions to avoid the repetition of my two lines in each testcase for example.
But when we execute several times the same test, we overwrite properties right?
It's not clearing but changes the same properties each time we execute.
Thank you
