Set default variables for test-cases

Product Forums Katalon Studio

When calling a test-case I supply variables:

WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('TESTCASE'), [('Gebruikersnaam') : 'katalon1', ('Wachtwoord') : 'katalon1'], FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)

However, I often use the same variables. Is there a way to set a default value inside TESTCASE that’s set in case a variable is undefined?
I had to do some complicated work-around now with try/excepts. There must be simpler way?
Just using:

if(Gebruikersnaam == undefined) {

Doesn’t work, because the script won’t run because… “Gebruikersnaam” isn’t defined :biohazard:

In the UI of the test case, you can see the Variables tab where you can create Test Case Variables with default values. Once defined there, you can use the variables in the test case.

Oh wow, very obvious.
Thank you!

Hi Thanh, I want to set a global variable as default value of a Test case variable - any solution?

Hi,

Katalon does not directly allow this setting but you can use Grooby as the following:

def globalValue = GlobalVariable.groovyUtils.getByName('default_value')
return globalValue

Maybe I don’t understand, but you can set a Global Variable the same as any variable within your project. If the Global Variable never changes, then just set it with the value in the Profile. If you want it to change, then do like below.

GlobalVariable.gSiteUrl = "https://www.sears.com"

WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.gSiteURL)
WebUI.waitForPageLoad(10)
