how to pass groovy context array to other testCases in testSuite

Hi, 

I have an array [list] in a groovy script [from the response of previous request]. 

How can I access this array from another testCase in the same testSuite? 

 

as far as I understand context is only available from within the testCase [I can access the array from other testSteps in the same testCase]

 

I was thinking of converting to string [toString] and storing it as a property. 

Then getting the property in another testCase, converting the string back to an array and using it there. 

This seems a bit messy to me. 

 

Thanks

    In general practise it is adivsed to have each test independent.

    Not sure what your case is and having dependency between the tests.

      Hi rao, 

      thanks for your reply. 

      I am not using the testCases as such and I am having testCases that rely on other testCases. 

      I have a suite of cases that run sequentially [some getting clients, tokens, etc to use in other test steps] 

      I suppose im just using the testCases as containers for test steps.

       

      My case here is I have a request in one testCase that returns an object of items which I want to use to compare to another array in another request later in different testCase. 

       

      I would like to avoid having all of the test steps in 1 testCase. 

       

      Thanks
