Need unique property to use for different Test Cases in SoapUI free

Question

I am trying to reuse soap testcases into loadUi, but I am using the free version, so data driven testing, with excel or db is out of the question. Now my problem is I need unique ID for each virtual user, but this id has to be reused in the 2nd testcase the Test Suite.

I figured that:

TC1, ID

RPO_153480953${=javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(GregorianCalendar.getInstance())} - unique

TC2, ID: Same as above, of course will not match because is a second later and the date isn't the same.

I did use "Property transfer" but that doesn't help since my function createa another unique id, and TC2 would have to reuse the property for TC1.

Can you please help me?

Answer 1

I think you could easily achieve this by using groovy script Test step in SOAP UI and I hope it available in SOAP UI free version also.

Using the below code in TC1

groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );   
 ResHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("Request 1#Response" );  
  //Xpath_UniquID = proper xml path of generated Unique ID  
  UniqID = ResHolder.getNodeValue( Xpath_UniquID );   
  //Set UniqID to TestSuite properties
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue( "UniqueID", UniqID  )

Here the value of "UniqID" set to Test Suite property "UniqueID" and you may fetch this value from any of the Testcase / Teststep in SOAP-UI TestSuite by using ${#TestSuite#UniqueID} in request xml of another Test case [TC2].

Hope it helps to solve your issue.
