Service Virtualization

Hi Team,

I am using JavaScript component of DevTest and wirting java code to read one txt file but i am getting static keyword error
Could anyone help me in resolving below static error:

============================================================================
| Error in Script
============================================================================
| Step: Parse To CurrentDate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Message: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``import java.io.*; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.File; import . . . '' : Typed variable declaration : Can't declare static variable outside of class: filenames

'' : static File [ ] filenames = null

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i copy the same java code in some other system which is LISA configured, then it works 

Dont know whats the problem

Please help

Can you please paste the code you are seeing the issue with?

If you just need to read a text file - there are other mechanism in DevTest for the same.

Below is the code:

Here i want to parse the date into current date so i am writing the code:

if i remove static and then run through Lisa, then it is making all the file blank, but same code is working in eclipse IDE.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
static File[] filenames = null;
try
{

File file = new File("C:\\Lisa\\Projects\\Parse");
filenames = file.listFiles();
for(File file1 : filenames )
{
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file1));
String line = "";
String oldtext = "";
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
oldtext += line + "\r\n";
}
reader.close();

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
Date d=c.getTime();
String Track_date=format.format(d);
String newtext = oldtext.replaceAll("@@CURRENT_DATE@@", Track_date);
System.out.println("CHkText"+newtext);

FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file1);
writer.write(newtext);
writer.close();

}

} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

I moved the array inside the try / catch and used a JSR-223 (Beanshell) Step. I was able to iterate over a set of files and replace @@CURRENT_DATE@@ with today's date in one of my files. Is there a reason this will not work for you?  

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

try {
   File file = new File("C:\\Lisa\\Projects\\Parse");
   File[] filenames = file.listFiles();

   for(File file1 : filenames ) {
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file1));
      String line = "";
      String oldtext = "";
      while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
         oldtext += line + "\r\n";
      }

      reader.close();

      SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
      Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
      Date d=c.getTime();
      String Track_date=format.format(d);

      String newtext = oldtext.replaceAll("@@CURRENT_DATE@@", Track_date);
      System.out.println("CHkText"+newtext);

      FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file1);
      writer.write(newtext);
      writer.close();
   }
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
return 0;

Sabir,

Did Joel's recommendation work for you?

Yes, its working for me for that specific requirement.

But reading a file and parsing to current date is small scenario,

As i too have large scenarios where i often use static keyword to maintain the scope of code.

So that time it throws an error" Can't declare static variable outside of class: filenames".
