[Resolved] empty elements in data driven test sent

[Logica BV Support]

I am currently working on an data driven test set.

The only thing is the data in the excel sheet does not always contain all fields.
So if a field is empty it will be sent out as empty. This will in our case give an error.
Is there a way to prevent empty elements from being sent out ?

Hi,

you can prevent this only if the whole row is empty but not in the case of single empty value in row.
To achieve this just check "Ignore Empty" check box in Data Source (Excel) configuration.

Hope this helps

Is there no way at all ? scripting/filtering/event or whatever to do this?

Since you can put script directly into a request, try this for each element that could be empty:

Code: Select all

${=context.expand("${DataSource#field1}")!=''?'<field1>'+context.expand("${DataSource#field1}")+'</field1>':''}

Yes but this causes the field to be sent out.
I just dont want it in the outgoing message.

<field1>value</field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3>value</field3>

This is not what i iwant.

I want:

<field1>value</field1>
<field3>value</field3>

Seems to work for me (see screenshot- I just posted to a service that echoes back what I send.)

Did you remove the tags for the field from the request as well?
