Shared variable between tests

Question

I have framework that has been written in Groovy, Spock and JUnit. Are there any way for getting variable from CreateResource class (after its execution) in GetResource class?

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({
  CreateResource.class,
  GetResource.class
})
public class SimpleTestSuit {}

For example, I would like to book hotel in CreateResources class and will get booking number in GetResources class? In the same time, I want to save order of execution.

Maybe, there is any an approach for that. Either using some context, or anything else.

Answer 1

Sound like you just need to set a publicly accessible variable (or an object with a getter/setter) in the GetResource class, from your CreateResource class. This approach works in non-parallel runs.

In JUnit it looks something like this:

public static string hotelReservation; // in the Test class or some other class that you reference

@Test
public void MyTest001() {
    //... perform actions
    hotelReservation = someElement.text;
}

@Test
public void MyTest002() {
    // do something with hotelReservation variable
}
