Make "Run Test Case" properties multi line
When sending in data and returning data from a Run Test Case step, each property is single line. This is fine for simple values, but not particularly user-friendly for structured data like JSON. The properties could be multi line with the possibility of scrolling. Currently, I need to copy the data out and use a tool to reformat the data so it is readable. Current: A quick mock-up of what it might potentially look like : We use Run Test Case for things like putting a wrapper round an API call, (with error handling, retry, filtering, mapping functionality etc.) so if an API changes we only need to change it in one place rather than in each test case. We pass the whole JSON payload in and the whole JSON Response back. (If for some reason it would break existing functionality then have an "enable multi-line" checkbox) ALTERNATIVLY: If not possible, then a button at the end of the table row to open the value in a new window (similar to a the Groovy Script run result-output):Re: Groovy - Get the name of the test case that called the "Run Test Case" for this test case
Hopefully this image makes it clearer Rao. I'm looking for a command or way that would work like my made-up "getTheTestCaseThatCalledMe()" function. The reason I'd rather not pass the value through is, there are well over a hundred calls to different CommonTest1 type test cases. It is of course do-able but it'd be cleaner, safer quicker and easier if we didn't need to. The code shown in the image for "WhoCalledMe" Groovy script step: log.info testRunner.getTestCase().getName().toString() /* equals "CommonTest1" */ log.info context.expand( '${#TestCase#input_passedInPropertyTestCaseName}' ) /* Equals the "ABC123" that I want, but requires that property value to be passed in */ //log.info testRunner.getTestCase().getTheTestCaseThatCalledMe().getName().toString() /* getTheTestCaseThatCalledMe() of course does not exist */Re: ReadyAPI Smart Assertion
Not as far as I know in the ReadyAPI software 😞. Ideally you'd want to import (dynamically) too! Its a massive flaw of Smart Assert imho. We've created our own Groovy script that uses a JSON file that acts as a map, to assert the properties of the test data and the returned data. For a more manual method, in a composite project you could look at the source files 🤤 e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <con:testCase xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" id="cba17ad8-eaa2-4780-b626-32a9924b564d" discardOkResults="false" failOnError="false" failTestCaseOnErrors="true" keepSession="false" name="Test Case 1" searchProperties="true" timeout="0"> <con:settings id="b770fa28-5ff4-4b15-b725-af70cc98a55c"> <con:setting id="cba17ad8-eaa2-4780-b626-32a9924b564dfileName">Test-Case-1</con:setting> </con:settings> <con:testStep type="groovy" name="Groovy Script" id="d4dcd68e-a392-49de-9d6c-a6576304e488"> <con:settings/> <con:config> <script>""" { "abc":"def", "ghi":"jkl" } """</script> </con:config> </con:testStep> <con:testStep type="assertionteststep" name="Assertion" id="5d473562-aba5-4574-819f-e9ddf2c622d8"> <con:settings/> <con:config xsi:type="con:AssertionTestStep"> <con:entry> <con:id>87c63781-b2f0-45cf-b9e0-c42a9f974732</con:id> <con:isGroup>false</con:isGroup> <con:sourceId>d4dcd68e-a392-49de-9d6c-a6576304e488</con:sourceId> <con:propertyName>result</con:propertyName> <con:assertion type="DataAndMetadataAssertion" name="Smart Assertion" id="8e970b5a-5798-4eec-a116-9927810845df"> <con:configuration xsi:type="con:DataAndMetadataAssertion"> <con:mode>Received Data</con:mode> <con:elements> <con:path>$['abc']</con:path> <con:element>abc</con:element> <con:operatorId>1</con:operatorId> <con:enabled>true</con:enabled> <con:expectedValue>def</con:expectedValue> <con:caseSensitive>true</con:caseSensitive> <con:numberType>false</con:numberType> <con:expectedDataType>1</con:expectedDataType> </con:elements> <con:elements> <con:path>$['ghi']</con:path> <con:element>ghi</con:element> <con:operatorId>1</con:operatorId> <con:enabled>true</con:enabled> <con:expectedValue>jkl</con:expectedValue> <con:caseSensitive>true</con:caseSensitive> <con:numberType>false</con:numberType> <con:expectedDataType>1</con:expectedDataType> </con:elements> <con:originalMessage>{ "abc":"def", "ghi":"jkl" }</con:originalMessage> </con:configuration> </con:assertion> </con:entry> </con:config> </con:testStep> <con:properties/> <con:reportParameters/> </con:testCase>Re: Make Smart Assertion more useful with added features
Heartily agree! Smart Assertions are cool and I want to like them but not advanced enough and need improving. Maybe if there was an export and import would make it easier to edit the valid values (e.g. find and replace Property Expansions)? Here are some the Groovy script work arounds we use, if of any use? //Assert Date comparison expectedDateString = "2023-01-16T18:43:34.3210487" returnedDateString = "16/01/2023" expectedDate = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS", expectedDateString) returnedDate = new Date().parse("dd/MM/yyyy", returnedDateString) assert expectedDate > returnedDate assert expectedDate < returnedDate.plus(365) //Assert Mapping comparison expectedMapValue = "Hazel" returnedMapValue = "Ha" def genderMap = [ Hazel:'Ha', Brown:'Br', Blue:'Bl', Green:'Gr' ] assert genderMap.get(expectedMapValue) == returnedMapValue //Assert RegEx comparison expectedRegExValue = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+[.][a-zA-Z]{2,}\$" returnedRegExValue = "no-reply@abc.co.uk" assert returnedRegExValue =~ expectedRegExValue //Assert conditional comparison expectedValue = "123" dependantValue = true if (dependantValue == true) { assert expectedValue == "123" } else { assert expectedValue == "ABC" } //Assert Contains expectedListValues = ["animal", "vegetable", "mineral"] returnedListValue = "animal" assert expectedListValues.contains(returnedListValue) //Out of order simple array expectedArray = ['FET','SOL'] returnedArray = ['SOL','FET'] returnedArraySorted = returnedArray.sort() assert expectedArray == returnedArraySorted //Out of order object array import groovy.json.* returnedObjArrayString = """ { "user_identifier" : [ { "value" : "10000571", "id_type" : { "value" : "BARCODE", } }, { "value" : "atzejr-dnkuifa", "id_type" : { "value" : "OTHER_ID_1", } } ] }""" returnedObjArray = new JsonSlurper().setType(JsonParserType.LAX).parseText(returnedObjArrayString) //directAccessAValue = returnedObjArray.user_identifier[0].value for (row in returnedObjArray.user_identifier) { if (row.id_type.value == "BARCODE") { assert row.value == "10000571" } if (row.id_type.value == "OTHER_ID_1") { assert row.value == "atzejr-dnkuifa" } } We also have a Groovy script that's a for-loop in a for-loop, for when we can auto match the sent JSON to the returned JSON and assert the values.
