Is there any way to better store and browse through my global variables?
I mean i have like 5 diffrent profiles, aroun 60 variables in each of them and its getting hard to sometimes find particular thing. At least crtl+f shortcut could help with finding names. It would be cool if i could create folders in profiles.
Also in test cases, when i want to add step using global variable, picking it from list is almost impossible, its in random order. It could be at least alphabetical.
I feel your pain. Agreed - all potentially sortable lists should be sortable.
I use external files and read them in. Some of the values overwrite globals. But I don’t know if you would consider that “better”, it’s what I prefer.
Benefits:
The file is under my control.
I could (but don’t) produce it from other systems (database, spreadsheet, whatever).
Ordering/sorting is a non-issue since I control it.
You obviously need to be comfortable in Groovy code to do something like this, though.
1.5 List GlobalVariables filtered by the GV name and the Profile name with Regex
Problem to solve:
I want my test script to list GlobalVariables while filtering by both of the GlobalVariable name and by the Profile name.
Sample code:
// Test Cases/main/1_listing/4_listGlobalVariable
List<String> gvipList = CustomKeywords.'com.kazurayam.ks.globalvariable.LookOverExecutionProfilesKeyword.listGlobalVariablesInProfiles'(
'ENV.*|URL.*', 'd.*')
for (String gvip in gvipList) {
println gvip
}
The listGlobalVariablesInProfiles method takes 2 arguments. The 1st argument is a regex that matches with the name of GlobalVariable. The 2nd argument is a regex that matches with the name of Profile.
Output:
