I am new in Katalon Studio. I did not find any similar topic in Katalon Community so I am writing here

I have created keyword: defaultString and result of it I would like to set as a Global Value
This variable works as a Private variable
x = CustomKeywords.‘input.utilitties.defaultString’(5)
But I do not know how to put this variable into Global…
What kind of Value type I should choose (I have chosen “string”)
I have written something like this:

create default String - 5 letters CustomKeywords.'CustomKeywords.'input.utilitties.defaultString'(5) G_defaultString But after running my tstacase i have receiving followin errror: "Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: G_defaultString for class: Script1554977299023" Could somebody help me in this matter and show where i make mistake?

HI,

I have seen the page from this link… and I do not understand exactly “metaprogramming:” so maybe there is a simpler way… :frowning:

At the end of this text, there is information that [rajamanthiram.r] tried to use this code and received an error and nobody helped him

Hi,

you have to first define Global Variable with value or null value

`

local
local806×332 12.4 KB 

then in testcase use it
CustomKeywords.'com.global.variables.CreateGlobalVariables.addGlobalVariable'('localURL', 'katalon.com')
println GlobalVariable.localURL

and Keyword is
import internal.GlobalVariable

public class CreateGlobalVariables {
	
	@Keyword
	void addGlobalVariable(String name, def value) {
	 GroovyShell shell1 = new GroovyShell()
	 MetaClass mc = shell1.evaluate("internal.GlobalVariable").metaClass
	 String getterName = "get" + name.capitalize()
	 mc.'static'."$getterName" = { -> return value }
	 mc.'static'."$name" = value
   }
}
