How to pass a two dimensional list/array between groovy scripts in soap ui?

问题

Problem statement: We need a way to pass a two dimensional list (or array) from one groovy script to other scripts ( to assert values from multiple DB2 tables in other scripts].

Some Background: Step1: Based on our input xml payload we are capturing the list of nodes (and child elements) in a two dimensional list [][]. [Done] Step2: Now we want to use the values from each of this list to assert with respect to values in DB2 tables [Also done, however keeping both step1 and step2 in same groovy script].

What we want is to to be able to pass the 2dimensional list from step1 in step2. Specially important since we have multiple tables and we dont want to either add all table steps in one big groovy script Or to duplicate step1 code in each Db2 validataion script.

We read about setting each element value from list at test case level and then reconstructing the array back but we are hesitating to use that method due to (varying &) huge size of list elements (in thousands). Question is: Are there any clean ways to achieve this?

Thanks!

回答1:

You can use context

That's real working Groovy Script steps.

step1:

def array = ['Kyiv', 'Boryspil', 'Kharkiv', "L'Viv", "Odesa"]
context.setProperty('cities', array)
log.info( 'script1: '+array )

step2:

def array = context.getProperty('cities')
log.info( 'script2: '+array )
assert array.size()>0

Note:

If you run just one step, then there will be absolutely independent context.

But if you run the whole testcase then there will be context shared for the whole testcase.

You can use Run from here context menu in your test case window to run from exact step.

回答2:

As you are aware of the limitation of the earlier solution, which would only work (sharing of object between the groovy scripts) if the test case is run and does not work if individual steps are run.

Here I want to provide an approach which over comes that by using groovy's meta programming.

In script 1, have the below code:

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCase

WsdlTestCase.metaClass.myList = [1,2,3,4,5]

In script 2, have the below code:

log.info "From script 2: ${context.testCase.myList}"
assert [1,2,3,4,5] == context.testCase.myList

The above even works if individual steps are run. Hope this is helpful.

EDIT: come to understand that user required to update the list repeatedly and with metaClass user couldn't update the list. Here is the alternative:

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCase
WsdlTestCase.metaClass.myObject = new Expando(myList: [1,2,3,4,5])
log.info "list initialized: ${context.testCase.myObject.myList}"
WsdlTestCase.metaClass.myObject = new Expando(myList: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7])
log.info "list updated: ${context.testCase.myObject.myList}"
