Web service request is not using global variable token

Product Forums Katalon Studio

I am new to Katalon and automation. I have a post request that creates a bearer token. I have created a global variable that calls that post request. My next post request needs to use the token but I am not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think when you use global variable in following request you should write it as

${GlobalVariable.token}

Thank you for your suggestion. I cannot use the global variable in the request method as the URL is not the same as my request. I did add it to the HTTP Header and I am still receiving a 403 forbidden.

and this GlobalVariable.token contains also “Bearer” ? my guess is whole that should be

Autorization : Bearer ${GlobalVariable.token}

not sure since i dont know your app

5

Thanks. I have tried
Authorization : Bearer ${GlobalVariable.token}
Authorization : ${GlobalVariable.token}
Authorization : Bearer ${token}
Authorization ${token}

I still receive a 403. Not sure what to do next.

6

wait … where you get 403? in script or when you try to execute from Object repository?

7

When I execute from the object repository.

That would be the second service POST request that needs the previously generated token to get past the 403

8

i’m not sure (i’m sure for 90%) that Global Variables will store values between 2 executions from TO repository …

Thanks, I had to call the auth test case, which calls the token post and parses it to save the global variable, in my other test cases and it works.
