Hi Devkara, I am trying to use a datapool from a dat file in my soapUI script. I am creating users and I need to create a unique urename and email address…My username is also the email (eg. user=user1001 and email=user1001@email.com)

The username and email fields in the form are pulling the a unique username from a .csv file using a DataSource/DataSourceLoop Step.

When I run the test it fails because the form field did not actually populate data from the datasource…it is left blank during test run…I populate the properties before I run the test by pressing the green arrow in the DataSource properties screen

Any ideas why the message does not get data expected?

Hi Devkara. Is there a way to use Property Transfer where it will match the value from the Response and select the identifier for that defined value?

Thank you.

Cheers

Hi Devkara! This site is very helpful!! But I’m having problems with property transfer – I can select the Source but when I select Response in the Property drop down, it doesn’t allow it to be selected and the drop down remains blank.

Would you know why this is? Am I missing a step or something?

Many thanks!

Hi Joan,

Sorry for the delayed response…

This is what I understood abt the prob: You need to set some request node’s value using the value of some node from the response whch you previously obtained….

For this, get the value of that response node and set it to some property of the Properties step (you probably might have created one), using Property Transfer OR Groovy Script Step. After setting the property value, directly access the property value using the Property Accessing technique as explained in http://groovyinsoapui.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/accessing-properties-in-soap-request/

Actually you could also directly transfer the response node’s value to the request node, using just the property transfer method. If it didnt work for you, could you just send your request, response xmls and Property Transfer step…I shall try locally to help you out.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Devakara.

Hi Devkara! I am having a heck of a time trying to implement a property transfer of a response node value to a request in soap ui. So I was hoping you could enlighten me! As my source I have the in the response to a calculate step, an Id value that I need to input to a request to save the corresponding Id value..so it is a fetch and save chain. I have the calc request the the pty transfer then the save request. Would I first need to pty transfer the response node value to a property and then transfer that property to the request node? Ive tried chaining the response directly to the request and it fails. When I try to invoke the xpath dialog for the target request I am prohibited from doing so. Any advice? Thanx much!!

Hi,

Verify whether the Target option is populated properly (with appropriate value from its dropdown list)

And you didnt mention anything regarding the property’s where abouts which you are actually tranferring!

And basically to use PropertyTransfer functionality, we should have the ‘Properties‘ step as one of the TestSteps under the same TestCase.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Devakara.

Hi,

If you want to transfer/use any result from one test case to another, set it as a property at TestSuite level.
And you can access the same as explained in http://groovyinsoapui.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/properties-in-soapui/.
This enables that property (which could hold the response of first test case as u said) to be flexibly used across the TestCases.

Please get back if more help is needed.

Thanks,
Devakara.

Hi,
i wanted to know if proeprty transfer can be done across the test cases. because what i have found that if you want to transfer the prop. you can do that to only a step in teh same tase case . but what if i have two cases in test suit and want to use the response of 1st in 2nd … i tried that but when you create a transfer prop. in teh target you can only see the items related to that test case and not the next case . please correct me if i am wrong
