Access Data In a CSV Connector

Post by jmckinstry » Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:03 pm

I have a data based test case that opens a URL and performs some basic clicks and validations. The issue is that I need for the URL to be different each iteration based on a value in the data connector. My data connector is a .csv file that is setup like this:

varSpecificClient, varDOB, varZip
abc,07/07/1990,30607
def,06/14/1970,30680
ghi,01/01/1990,30247

The URL is: http://www.dummysite.com?client=xxx

For each iteration, I need to replace the xxx with the varSpecificClient so the URL would be:
http://www.dummysite.com?client=abc
http://www.dummysite.com?client=def
http://www.dummysite.com?client=ghi

Is this possible? I have searched around, but have not been able to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Of course, this is possible. All you have to do is to create DOM repo element, with xpath like this...
Where varSpecificClient is a repo variable, which must be connected to data connector (varSpecificClient column). Hope this helps?

Thank you!

I believe that is just what I am looking for. I was trying to make it way more complicated.
