How to remove Custom Properties from a SoapUI TestCase using Groovy? - groovy

Question

I have created some list of properties under the TestCase. For example look at the following screenshot.
I tried to remove Testcase_Property property through the following groovy script teststep:
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.removeProperty( "Testcase_Property" );
when I reload the project, the Testcase_Property property is still exist in the Custom Properties tab when I click on the Test case name.
Anyone suggest me what the correct script to remove the custom properties in SoapUI.
Thanks

Answer 1

you can also use the following:
data = context.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test Case Name");
String[] propToRemove = new String[data.getPropertyCount()];
propToRemove = data.getPropertyNames();
for ( int i = 0 ; i < propToRemove.size(); i++ ){
data.removeProperty( propToRemove[i] );
}
Hope this helps.
Now you can remove more than one prop.

Finally I got the answers for removing Project, Testsuite and Testcase custom properties. Here are the scripts.
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.removeProperty( "Project_Level_Property" );
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.removeProperty( "Testsuite_Property" );
testRunner.testCase.removeProperty( "Testcase_Property" );
If any other way is there, please let me know friends.

Manual solution: use "Save Properties" and "Load Properties" from SoapUI
export the properties to a text file, e.g. customprop.txt
edit the file and delete the unwanted properties
import the file back into your soapUI project
in the "load properties" dialog check the option to "delete remaining"
Then the existing properties will be cleared out and replaced with your customprop.txt

Just for completeness:
Another quick but dirty and dangerous way is to modify the soapui-project.xml and remove the property nodes with a text editor.
Be aware that you can break your whole project if you do something wrong!
You should create a copy of your soapui-project.xml and do the following steps:
Set the values of the Properties you want to delete to deleteMe
Search for the string deleteMe in your soapui-project.xml
Delete the properties:
<con:property><con:name>name</con:name><con:value>deleteMe</con:value></con:property>
