I am wondering how we can pass variables between two step definitions files.
I found this How to share variables across multiple cucumber step definition files with groovy but their structure is different from mine, because I am not using classes in step definition.
The following is my two step definition files.
Feature File 1
Scenario: Consumer registration
When I try to register with my details with "memberNo" mem no.
Then I should be able to get success response
stepDef1
When(~'^I try to register with my details with "([^"]*)" mem no.$') { String memdNo ->
sMemdNo = memNo + getRanNo()
// more code here
}
Feature File 2
Scenario: Event Generation
When I activate my account
Then I can see the file having "logName" event
stepDef2
Then(~'^I can see the file having "([^"]*)" event$') { String logName ->
eventFile = GetLogtData(logName , sMemdNo )
// more code here
}
So, as per the above I want to get the value of sMemdNo from stepDef1 and use it in stepDef2.
I will recommend that you use the World, to store global variables needed across step definitions.
You can see an example here: cucumber-jvm-groovy-example.
You can combine the World with a Factory and/or dependency injection pattern.
To use variables between steps you can add the variable at the top of the steps file (groovy or java), and the variable used in one step will have the value available for other variable.

Context: I'm implementing a Jenkins Pipeline. For this, in order to define the pipeline's parameters I implemented the DSL file.
In the DSL file, I have a parameter of ActiveChoiceParam type, called ORDERS. This parameter will allow me to choose one or more orders numbers at the same time.
Problem: What I want to do is to set the values that gets rendered for ORDERS parameter from a custom library. Basically I have a directory my_libraries with a file, orders.groovy. In this file, there is an order class, with a references list property that contains my values.
The code in the DSL file is as follows:
def order = new my_libraries.order()
pipelineJob("111_name_of_pipeline") {
description("pipeline_description")
keepDependencies(false)
parameters {
stringParam("BRANCH", "master", "The branch")
activeChoiceParam("ORDERS") {
description("orders references")
choiceType('CHECKBOX')
groovyScript{
script("return order.references")
fallbackScript("return ['error']")
}
}
}
}
Also, is good to mention that my custom library works well. For example, if I choose to use a ChoiceParam as below, it works, but of course, is not the behaviour I want. I want to select multiple choices.
choiceParam("ORDERS", order.references, "Orders references list but single-choice")
How can I make order.references available in the script part of groovyScript?
I've tried using global instance of order class, instantiate the class directly in the groovyScript, but no positive result.
In Thread Group #1 I have a Regular Expression with Match Number set to -1 and I want to use the complete variable in Thread Group #2.
I am currently able to share normal variables using props.put but I am not able to share the complete array to then obtain the values using __V function on Thread Group #2.
Is this feasible?
Just add JSR223 PostProcessor (make sure it goes after Regular Expression Extractor) and use the following code:
vars.entrySet().each { var ->
if (var.getKey().startsWith('foo')) {
props.put(var.getKey(), var.getValue())
}
}
In another Thread Group you can convert properties into variables using the same approach:
props.entrySet().each {prop ->
if (prop.getKey().startsWith('foo')){
vars.put(prop.getKey(),prop.getValue())
}
}
Just replace foo with your variable reference name and that would be it.

I have 50+ tests in my current SoapUI workspace. I need to add a new project level parameter on all of these tests. Is there a way I can do this using the groovy console within SoapUI?
For example :
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue( "SuperMan",("SuperMan"));
I can run this to create a property within the current working project.
Is there a way I can create this under all projects on my current workspace?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, We can do this but it's little tricky.
Way to do this:
Create a empty generic project in soapui, Add empty testsuite, add Empty testcase
In test case Add a groovy script step
Now paste this groovy code
for(project in com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.workspace.projectList) {
if(project.open && project.name != testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.name){
project.setPropertyValue( "TestProperty","TestValue");
}
}
Run the groovy step, you will get property added at Project level.
Please mark this as correct response if this solve your problem.
Using your testRunner access you simply need one level more workspace. From here you can access projects map and iterate over each project adding the property:
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.workspace.projects.each{ key, proj ->
proj.setPropertyValue('superman','superman')
}
This code doesn't add the property on closed projects in workspace but not fails accessing it.
Alternatively as #Rao suggest on his comment it's possible to use default it object iterator and access the value instead of defining key, proj -> on each:
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.workspace.projects.each{
it.value.setPropertyValue('superman','superman')
}
I prefer the first approach for clarity.
Hope it helps,
I have a question about name lookup in Groovy. Consider the following build script:
apply([plugin: 'java'])
def dependenciesClosure = {
delegate.ext.name = "DelegateName"
println name
println delegate.toString()
project(':api')
}
dependenciesClosure();
dependencies(dependenciesClosure)
The gradle check command produces the output
webapp
project ':webapp'
DelegateName
org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler_Decorated#397ef2
Taking that into account, nonlocal variable name lookup is performed on a delegate object first an, if the name's not found, performed on the global project object. Is that correct?
Correct, Gradle uses a delegate first resolve strategy within configuration closures. In this case, the delegate is an instance of DependencyHandler. You can see what any given block delegates to by looking at the Gradle DSL documentation.
Edit: To confirm your last point, yes, the build script itself delegates to an instance of Project.
I have two sequence item class a_packet and its extended class called bad_packet.
By default, a_packet type is used.
Trying to override a_packet instance with bad_packet, I am able to do it successfully by using set_inst_override_by_name in my uvm test,
factory.set_inst_override_by_name("a_packet","bad_packet", "*");
Now my question is: what if I don't want to use "*", how to know the full hierarchical path of the sequence item instance?
I was trying to utilise get_full_name() from inside the sequence item, right after it is received by the driver, to know the exact hierarchical path. It displayed:
uvm_test_top.env.a_agt.a_seqr.a_sequence.a_packet
But when I replaced the * with above path, the overriding is not happening.
factory.set_inst_override_by_name("a_packet","bad_packet","uvm_test_top.env.a_agt.a_seqr.a_sequence.a_packet");
Did I do something wrong?
Where you create your packet, you'll need to to specify the full path to the corresponding call to create(..):
packet = a_packet::type_id::create("packet", , get_full_name());
If you were using the uvm_do macro, you'll have to change to using the explicit sequence API:
packet = a_packet::type_id::create("packet", , get_full_name());
start_item(packet);
// ... randomize ...
finish_item(packet);
Idea is from this DVCon Paper, section IV.A.
