Service Virtualization

If I save content that contains {{variables}} the {{variables}} aren't being expanded to show the value. If I use a step like Write to Delimited file and list the {{variables}} I do see all the values expanded.

Is there some way to force the expansion of {{variables}} so I see the value and not the reference to the variable?

For context, I've got inputs like below that I pass different values for {{Host}} and {{CustomerId}} that I want to see the value passed for the test. 

https://{{Host}}/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid={{CustomerId}} 

In my ITR log output, when I set above string is shows setting with {{variables}} which get expanded and used when I pass to my REST step. I'm looking for a way to get the values passed in the {{variables}} without write to file so I can see

https://ServerName/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid=123456

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, has anyone solved this?

The following string when added to Log Message area of a step will show you the expanded value, provided Host & CustomerId properties have appropriate values available before that step is executed.

https://{{Host}}/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid={{CustomerId}}

I hope this satisfies your need.

Thanks for the reply Prem. Built-in functionality like Log Message and Write to Delimited file are correctly expanding the {{variables}}, but I want to save variables to another source and the {{variables}} aren't being expanded automatically. I would prefer not to output a file, load the file and then save it to a DB and instead just save the data to DB directly (or, lookup each {{var}} and replace the value) e.g. if I have testExec.setStateValue("endpoint", "https://{{Host}}/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid={{CustomerId}}"); and {{Host}} and {{CustomerId}} variables have values I want to see a string that has https://ServerName/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid=123456 

Depending on where you set testExec.setStateValue - I can think of two options:

1) Use testExec.setStateValue("endpoint", "https://"+testExec.getStateString("Host","")+"/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid="+testExec.getStateString("CustomerId",""));

Or 

use testExec.setStateValue("endpoint",testExec.parseInState("https://{{Host}}/v1/customers/authorizedusers?customerid={{CustomerId}}"));

Both these assume that Host & CustomerId have appropriate values available.

Does this help?

testExec.parseInState() looks like exactly what I was looking for - thanks! I'll give that a try.

Thanks Prem, confirmed below is getting the values and they end up in db results now.

results.put("Endpoint", testExec.parseInState(testExec.getStateValue("FullEndpoint")));
results.put("Request", testExec.parseInState(testExec.getStateValue("Request")));
