Getting values of properties in SoapUI's groovy

Question

I'm pretty new to testing and SoapUI and I've just faced a problem: I have 2 soap requests from which I transfer data (using PropertyTransfer) to Properties - I can do that and it works fine for me. But now I would like to take those values in my groovy script (which is next step of my testcase). How to do that? So far, I have found following:

testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("SomeProp")

But it doesn't work for me. I guess it's not that Properties. Any tips?

Solution 1

In the Groovy script panel you can right-click and select Get Data, to help you out. You will end up with something like this:

context.expand( '${Properties step#SomeProp}' )

Same thing can also be written as:

testRunner.testCase.testSteps['Properties step'].getPropertyValue("SomeProp")

Solution 2

Few cents:

if we are loading properties file through external file via -Dsoapui.properties=\tmp.properties

Contents of tmp.properties

serialNumber=908664374

ideal way to load the property 'serialNumber' in groovy file would be,

def serialnumber = context.expand('${#serialNumber}')

But if you have a property at any level [test suites, test cases or project] inside your SOAPUI project, say you have it at project level, then it would be

def serialnumber1 = context.expand('${#Project#serialNumber}')

Solution 3

The first expression works with:

context.expand( '${Properties_step#SomeProp}' )
