I want to use the feature of keeping multiple Rest responses of single test case in vsi for selecting one on runtime.
In vsi we have option to create multiple responses of each test cases. One my test scenario need to select the one
response dynamically from the lot on the basis of input parameter value.
Any suggestion ?
Hi,
I am not sure what your actual requirement is. But i think datadriven feature is what you are looking though.

Hi ,
Thanks for your response. In my VSI, I have only one instance with 3 multiple responses. I have to take response at run time based on request argument. That argument is compared using RegExp. Based on value, response should be selected. Please refer attached screenshot.
You have to write custom code in 'Match Script' or use Data Driven VS.
First of all if you have 1 transaction response consist of 3 multiple responses, then why not you are sending back all 3 responses simultaneously and why single only.
If you need single response only , split the transaction by copy paste the specific transaction 3 times and put single response in each 3 specific transaction and match with regex easily in request data editor by selecting request argument comparison Operator drop-down to regex option.
I have not tried your scenario, but may you can try like this to make it work.
Since you have multiple response in single transaction. May be try to add java script step after 'VS Image Response Selection' step in Vsm and use some coding like below
You can get Request arguments like below
lisa_vse_request = testExec.getStateObject("lisa.vse.request");
ParameterList Args= lisa_vse_request.getArguments();
Parameter single_rq_argument = args.get(i); - get single request argument
single_rq_argument.getName(); - get name of request argument
single_rq_argument.getValue(); - get value of request argument
now do regex pattern match using patter matches code here with single_rq_argument.getValue();
if matches , set i value to 0 or 1 or 2
Now based on i value get response
responses = testExec.getStateObject("lisa.vse.response");
response = responses.get(i)
testExec.setStateObject("lisa.vse.response", response);
Attached is the scripting guide, may be it can help more.
the only real way to do this is to use the match script with each entry.
set some variable before the selection step, and have the match script return true for the one response u want to use now, and false for all the others.
