SOAPUI Properties and Groovy Steps

Losing my mind for how a simple thing was turned into a complicated riddle.

See http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testing/working-with-properties.html

If you do this:

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue("Hostname", "02B3TEST0004")
log.info( testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getPropertyValue("Hostname"))

you will set a TestSuite level property:



After a lot of trial and error, I found out that if you want to get/set properties defined in a Properties Test Step, you must do this:

testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Properties"].setPropertyValue( "Hostname", "fanculo" )

log.info( testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Properties"].getPropertyValue( "Hostname" ))






very properly undocumented, thank you SmartBear... if this Bear is smart, I wonder the dummy ones...

So now we are ready to implement the DataSources in Groovy by reading a file and setting a property in a GroovyStep
