HP UFT API Test - Saving Response/Checkpoint values - hp-uft

Is there a way to capture and store (or write to a file) the values returned in the Response? (Checkpoint values)
Using HP UFT 11.52
Thanks,
Lynn

I figured it out. In UFT API under Standard Activities, there are File function modules including "Write to File". I added the module to the test, set the path and other properties, passed the variable to the file and it worked! Couldn't be easier.

I mentioned this on my other answer , you can also write it programatically if you have dynamic array response please refer below:

After running a test, in the test folder, you can find a Snapshots/LastIteration directory.
In it you can find the return value for each step saved in a txt file.
Pay attention that if you data drive the step, only the last iteration will be saved to file.
However, in the Test's log (Test dir/Log/vtd_user.log) you can find all the iterations persisted
Thanks,

You do not need to use the standard activities if you do this
var iResponse = this.Activity.responsebody;
System.IO.File.WriteLines(#"directorypath&FileName);
the above will write the response to the file and rewrite it for every run

upload multiple Test cases at one time in ALM?

I'm trying to upload multiple Test cases at one go. How to upload multiple Test cases at one time in ALM ?
All flow files which you would upload should be updated with name attribute.
Make sure the src folder has a properties file named as “multipleFlows.properties” or you would have to create it.
Update the multipleFlows.properties file with all the flow ids and flow xml path that you would like to upload through ALMSync as mentioned below.
Ex: multipleFlows.properties file should contain as below format
flow1_id=flow1_xml_path
flow2_id=flow2_xml_path
flow3_id=flow3_xml_path
flow4_id=flow4_xml_path
Open the Run Configuration ALMSync >> Arguments tab and update the arguments as
createTestCase flow_map multipleFlows

Running unix shell TalendJob

I have a issue. I build myTalendJob and I am running myShell succesfully by adding a contextVariable. The command I use is:
./mainJob_run.sh --context_param myVar="/myDirectory/file.txt"
Is it possible to simply run ./mainJob_run.sh and passing dynamically --context_param myVar="/myDirectory/file.txt" avoiding to rewrite it anytime?
Thank you in advance!
I am not sure I understand your question but this is my attempt to answer.
Either:
When exporting your job, override the context "myVar" by this given value
Write caller script to call mainJob_run.sh appending this additional parameter. I prefer this one as it gives more flexibility
Implicit contexts load
You can read your context params from a file.
With this, you don't need to pass the context params through the shell command, but instead it reads the context params from a file when the job is executing.Ideally, you should put this in your tPreJob.
After reading the values, you can also pass the context params through a tJavaRow for further processing. This way you can format your context params, or generate new context params based on the input values.
TalendByExample has provided a great guide on how to build a reusable context loading job which you can call from any of your jobs.

TestComplete_JavaScripting_how to hide web url path while performing any operation for any object in script

I'm new to use Testcomplete , i'm using javascripts to automate my code, below are sample script ( converted one recorded first then converted into jscript) and in this scripts what i observe that TestComplete identified and captured the object element by using complete web url path not on only object specific .
efunction Test_Login {var UserName, Password, TestEnv;UserName = "XYZ";Pwd = "XYZXYZ";TestEnv = "https://test.Env.com/";Browsers.Item(btChrome).Run("TestEnv",1);Aliases.browser.pageTestenvCom.formFrmlogincomponent.textboxUsername.SetText("UserName");Aliases.browser.pageTestenvCom.formFrmlogincomponent.passwordboxPassword.SetText("Pwd");Aliases.browser.pageTestenvCom.formFrmlogincomponent.buttonLogin.ClickButton();}e
what i means lets see below example of login page
thank you
Whenever we record any Test case in Test-Complete, it stores all the object in the Naming Repository and then access the same.
This helps test-complete in easily recognisation of object and can improve the speed of test-case, in case there are multiple objects visible on screen

Grab scenario information in Before and After hooks?

Right now I am trying to grab the information from the current scenario (description, file path, name, etc.). I try to get the scenario information in the before hook like this
Before do |scenario|
puts scenario.name
puts scenario.description
#etc.
end
however things like scenario.description are not available for use. This is because when running in both Before and After hook, scenario is being called as Cucumber::RunningTestCase::Scenario instead part of the core AST module, like feature. I want to be able to access the scenario from Cucumber::Core::Ast::Scenario and Cucumber::Core::Ast::OutlineTable::ExampleRow, where values like current scenario description is available. Is it possible to get access to Cucumber::Core::Ast::Scenario in before and after hooks instead of Cucumber::RunningTestCase::Scenario, or another way to grab information like scenario name, description, file path, etc.? This is using the latest version of the cucumber and cucumber core gems (2.4 and 1.5). In addition, I am also no longer to able to access information about the current step, and step count.
Before do |scenario|
all_sources = scenario.outline? ? scenario.scenario_outline.all_source : scenario.all_source
end
From the all_source variable you will have access to several objects from ::Ast
Scenario Outline:
Cucumber::Core::Ast::Feature
Cucumber::Core::Ast::ScenarioOutline
Cucumber::Core::Ast::Examples
Cucumber::Core::Ast::ExamplesTable::Row:
Cucumber::Core::Ast::ExpandedOutlineStep
Scenario:
Cucumber::Core::Ast::Feature
Cucumber::Core::Ast::Scenario
Cucumber::Core::Ast::Step
From these you should be able to get data about file path, descriptions, comments, tags, hooks, line numbers and so on.

Trying to generate JMeter Test Plan (jmx) With JMeter API : Not able to save CSVDataSet element

I am creating a JMeter jmx file dynamically by using JMeter APIs. I am able to add a ThreadGroup within a TestPlan and a JavaSampler within the ThreadGroup. But when I add a CSVDataSet element within the Java Sampler, it does not get saved properly.
The following code is used to create a new CSVDataSet element
CSVDataSet csvDataSet = new CSVDataSet();
csvDataSet.setName("CSV Data Set");
csvDataSet.setComment("Sample CSV Data Set");
csvDataSet.setDelimiter(",");
csvDataSet.setFileEncoding("");
csvDataSet.setFilename("d:\\jmeter\\data.csv"); // variable
csvDataSet.setQuotedData(true);
csvDataSet.setRecycle(true);
csvDataSet.setShareMode(shareMode.all);
csvDataSet.setStopThread(false);
csvDataSet.setVariableNames("firstname, lastname, email"); // variable
csvDataSet.setEnabled(true);
When this is saved using SaveService.saveTree, the final jmx does not contain all the values which were set.
<org.apache.jorphan.collections.HashTree>
<CSVDataSet testname="CSV Data Set Config" enabled="true">
<stringProp name="TestPlan.comments">Sample CSV Data Set Config</stringProp>
</CSVDataSet>
<org.apache.jorphan.collections.HashTree/>
As seen above, only the test name, enabled, and comments are added. The rest of the variables are completely ignored.
Is there something that needs to be set in order to get all the values as expected?
or is this a bug in JMeter? I am using version 2.11
The basic code is as per section 4.3 from following link
http://blazemeter.com/blog/5-ways-launch-jmeter-test-without-using-jmeter-gui
To that I add the code shown above. The way it is added is,
testPlanTree.add("testPlan", testPlan);
testPlanTree.add("loopController", loopController);
testPlanTree.add("threadGroup", threadGroup);
testPlanTree.add("httpSampler", httpSampler);
testPlanTree.add("csvDataSet", csvDataSet);
SaveService
.saveTree(testPlanTree, new FileOutputStream("d:\\test.jmx"));
output of CSVDataSet block is as shown above.
After looking into the JMeter source code, it seems all the properties are set using the setProperty function rather than the individual setter functions. So putting the following code does the job of creating the CSVDataSet element properly.
csvDataSet.setProperty("delimiter", ",");
csvDataSet.setProperty("fileEncoding", "");
csvDataSet.setProperty("filename", "d:\\data.csv");
csvDataSet.setProperty("quotedData", true);
csvDataSet.setProperty("recycle", true);
csvDataSet.setProperty("shareMode", "shareMode.all");
csvDataSet.setProperty("stopThread", false);
csvDataSet.setProperty("variableNames", "var1, var2, var3");
Not sure why setters are not used in the code, but this seems to be the way to go for now
It is clearly not a bug in JMeter otherwise CSV Data Set could not be saved.
It is probably an issue in the way you build the HashTree, but unless you show the full code, you cannot get help.
By the way, as I said in a previous answer, what you are trying to do to build different tests based on input parameter is not good idea IMHO, the approach will be very fragile towards upcoming versions of JMeter.
JMeter provides ways to do it that you should follow.
