I am trying to set up a synthetic browser test that makes use of variables. I can't seem to find information about the usage of variables in Browser Tests other than this. So far I tried to:
- Access Global variable as a url in a "go to URL" step -> which leads to a "https:// is not a valid URL" although I can see the variable in the "variables" tab
- Access Global/Predefined variables in "execute Javascript" steps -> undefined
- Set variable via "Save return value from javascript" to variable var and try to reuse it in both
-> "assert Text present" with {{custom.$var}} -> undefined
-> "execute Javascript" with custom.var -> undefined
- Assign var/const in "execute Javascript" step and reference it in consecutive "execute Javascript" steps -> undefined
- Tried to access built-in variables: in "execute Javascript" tests (except those that are only available in API-Tests) -> undefined
- Which raises the following questions for me:
What is the idiomatic way to use variables in Synthetic Browser Tests? So far it seems to me that they can only be used to fill a field as its the only Action mentioned here and no other action I tried seems to support variables which would quite honestly be really dissapointing. - Am I overlooking any documentation?
- Which kind of actions support the use of variables created by other steps?
Thank you
