How to get text from input field ,store in a variable and use it in different test cases

[Srividhya1]

Hi All,

Requirement :
1 ) Create an application with application : SampleApp + Random number Eg : SampleApp 123
2) Get Text from the input field of Application Name -
ApplicationName = WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/AppDef/input_Application Details_mat-input-0’), ‘value’)
ApplicationName = SampleApp 123
3) Set Text to a field to search the application by application name
Need to set text “SampleApp 123” to Search Application field

I have accomplished Step 1 and Step 2, when i tried Step 3 i get error No such property

What i have tried the below ( NONE of them worked for me)

1. defined a global variable , assigned get attribute value , set text global variable to search application field
2. defined a keyword , assigned value to static variable , set text to search application field
3. defined a variable , get attribute value and then set text to search application field

Hi Srividhya1

Can you re-try with the first solutions #1: assigned global variable

1. Create the variable name at profile

2. Assuming that you can get the value ‘SampleApp 123’ at step 1 and step 2 on your test - assign the value to GlobalVariable

String ApplicationName = 'SampleApp 123'

GlobalVariable.AppName1 = ApplicationName

3. Use the global variable as below.

println(GlobalVariable.AppName1)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page/input_username'), GlobalVariable.AppName1)

A local variable will generally not pass its content to another Test Case except in a “called Test Case”. You can use a local variable within a single Test Case. To pass the contents of the variable to another Test Case of a Test Suite, you need a “GlobalVariable”, static variable, or as I mentioned already, a “called Test Case”.

Oh I’m understand concept local variable and global variable.

yesterday, I’m just think how I use/throw/call my local variable.
in my case, I need to verify match/ verify equal etc in my test case.
after browsing, I know to use/throw/call the variable in test case level.

its like in test case on script mode:
newVariable = ${nameVariableInTestcase}
and println newVariable
its work, what I want it.

thanks @grylion54
