Optional variables Map Value

yuri.barru · March 30, 2022, 8:05am

Hi Fellas,
I made a validation (in a testcase) and it received parameters from another testcase.
Attached some screenshot.

My question is :
How do I make some map value or variables to be optional?
or set a default value maybe?

I already tried to pass only selected map and katalon raise an error (have to pass the whole variables).
So, I made a tricky way to pass 0 (zero) in order to eliminate the error.

But, this way is not practical since another validation would be added later and I had to update the all TC which using this validation.

Looking forward for the solution… Thanks!

I’m not sure if the below is what you were thinking of, however, you can give parameters a “default” value. Start your parameters with those that do not have “default” and then have the “default” ones afterwards.

You want Groovy’s “Elvis operator”.

https://groovy-lang.org/operators.html#_elvis_operator

String postingNumberFrom = $npostingNumberFrom ?: "default value"

Please mind that you should not enclose the $npostingNumberFrom with double quotes, like

String postingNumberFrom = "$npostingNumberFrom" ?: "default value"

which will fall into a zero-length string "" rather than "default value".

Hi. Thank you for replying.
Unfortunately, this is not what I want to achieve.

yuri.barru · April 1, 2022, 3:57am

Hi, Thank you for replying.
Sounds promising actually. I remove the zero value from map value and apply your suggestion. But here’s what I’ve got :

Its like forcing me to input the map value. Do you know why this happen?

How do you think you declare the variable nGLAccountNumber? Please describe your idea.

yuri.barru · April 1, 2022, 4:19am

Sorry I did not catch your question. Could you please elaborate more?
I already tried to use single quote and double quote

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 4:29am

You showed a screenshot of you test case in Manual mode, but most portion of the image is scratched unreadable. So I do not understand how a variable nGLAccountNumber is declared. Please show the source code copy and pasted from Script mode.

Please use the Code Formatting syntax in the forum post

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 4:34am

I do not understand why you prepend a $ before a variable reference nGLAccountNumber.

String GLAccountNumber = $nGLAccountNumber ?: '0';

What do you mean by $?

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 4:35am

How about this?

String GLAccountNumber = nGLAccountNumber ?: '0';

yuri.barru · April 1, 2022, 6:25am

As I mention before, I passed some map value when I called this validation test case

From my knowledge, $ is needed in order to retrieve thrown map value.
Am I wrong? Please let me know if I made a mistakes

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 8:41am

How about this?

String GLAccountNumber = nGLAccountNumber ?: '0';

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 8:55am

$dictionary is PHP syntax.

No, we do not use PHP in Katalon Studio. Katalon Studio uses Groovy language.

yuri.barru · April 1, 2022, 9:52am

I already try your suggestion, and remove the map value.
It failed as shown below :

the process stop before line 33. So, the declaration on line 32 is the issue.

Is there another way around to make this optional?

kazurayam · April 1, 2022, 10:11am

Please read the whole error log carefully. There must be a line “Caused by …” which tells you why you got errror.

You have at least 2 Test Case script. One is the “caller”, another is the “callee”.
You showed the source code of the “callee”, but you haven’t showed us the source of the “caller”.
I need to see how your script is calling WebUI.callTestCase() keyword.
Please show the Groovy source code of the “caller” test case by copy & pasting from the Script mode; not a screenshot of Manual mode display.

anon46315158 · April 2, 2022, 10:14am

@yuri.barru If i understand it right, your testcase variable is actually a map named ‘binding’ which may have or not have some elements.

So, in your code you have to refer to them either by using map[key] or use get().

See here some examples, with or without defaults:
https://blog.mrhaki.com/2009/11/groovy-goodness-get-value-from-map-or.html#:~:text=The%20get()%20method%20in,no%20value%20for%20the%20key.

something like this perhaps:

GLAccountNumber = binding.get(nGLAccountNumber, '0')

yuri.barru · April 4, 2022, 3:32am

here is the result.

Honestly, I did not understand why this happen. What do you think?
