Issue/Introduction

When creating a Selenium integration test case with Selenium steps by importing a JSON test script into DevTest Workstation, the first (Get) step is always defined like below:

The action for the Selenium step is defined as "type" with value "get" in this "JSON Object:" field. And the parameter for get action is the "url", the value of "url" is substituted by the property "ENDPOINT" in "JSON Object:"  field like:

the property definition for "ENDPOINT" is in the project.config file.

The value of a parameter can be substituted by a property. So I tried to add the "ACTION" property which value is "get" in the project.config file

and also change the "JSON Object:"  field like this:

to substitute the value of "type" by the property.

But I get error messages like below when playing back with Interactive Test Run:

Is this usage supported?

Release: Service Virtualization all versions
Component: Workstation, Simulator

Resolution

No, in the Selenium step it is not supported to substitute a property for the value of "type".
