Hi All,

The WebApp I'm testing requires a UniqueToken in the XML Request. Is there a way I can include a dynamic property variable in a XML Request?

I've tried dynamically entering a time variable in the -DsoapUI.properties=properties.txt file, but this appears to be read only at startup.

From what I can tell, Groovy script is an option before or after the Test Case is run. Not when it is run.

I don't need anything fancy, just a unique string. Something like the output from "time /t" would be fine.

Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
~Jim

Thanks Ole,

I can't seem to get this to work.

I added the context.randomId = Math.random() to the Test Case setup

and set the XML request like so, <ext:UniqueToken>${randomId}</ext:UniqueToken>

I've tried ${randomId} and ${#TestCase#randomId}. The property expansion is not happening. soapUI sends whatever I put in the UniqueToken holder.

I tried added a def before the context.randomId = Math.random(), and creating the def other ways, but can't get the property expansion to work.

I've also tried creating a UniqueToken groovy script containing the context.randomID function and using the result ni the XML request like so,
<ext:UniqueToken>${#UniqueToken#randomId}</ext:UniqueToken>

What am I missing? I can't help but think it's something simple.

I've gotten the context.randomId = Math.random() to  return a value from a Groovy script Test Step, then Transfer the value (using a Property Transfer Test Step) to the final Test Step (Interactive Read <XML Request>).

I just haven't had any luck defining the Math.random() function in the Test Case Setup Script and having the Property Expansion work properly in the XML Request.

It's probably a Scope or Syntax problem on my part. I'm still learning my way around soapUI. I'll keep poking around.

Thanks much for the assistance & very nice work on soapUI. I've convinced my group to switch from soapScope and buy a few copies of soapUI. I expect to get lots time on it in the future.

Have a good day!

Excellent! Will do.
