Using Task Variables within SOAP load test

Hi Jason,





Could you please send me a project you are working with? I will look into your test. Please pack the entire project suite folder.

Hi David,



I'm unable to share the entire project due to our internal security policy.  Is there any more specific information I could provide you?



What I'm seeing in my project looks very much like the image in "http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/17492/", except that I'm looking at the Request tab instead. 



I am entering "@MyVariable" into one of the value fields on the SOAP tab, however the string "@MyVariable" is being passed in the request as opposed to a random integer that I've defined the variable in the Tasks Editor as outlined in "http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/18720/"

Hi Jason,





In this case, is it possible for you to send us a bunch of images demonstrating all the actions you perform and the actual results you get? This will help us to understand that exactly you do and why this does not work for you. You can send the files us via the Contact Support form.





Thanks in advance.

= I've defined set the @MyVariable as a parameter in the SOAP request.



However, when running the test, the xml below is passed to our webservice.  "@MyVariable" as opposed to a random int as expected



<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

            <____Id>@MyVariable</____Id>

        </GetAd>

</soap:Envelope>

Hi David,



Please let me know if you require any more screenshots or details.

Hi Jason,

Currently, it is not possible to use load testing variables to modify SOAP requests. However, it is possible to modify such requests using OnLoadTestingRequest event's handler. We have created a sample project suite that demonstrates how it can be accomplished with the help of regular expressions - check the attached archive.
