Variables are not passing from one test set to another?

Question

1. Hi, I declared variables in config and iam using in below test case. the variables are not passing. iam not able to figure out the actual issue.

   • config:
     • variable_binds: {'user_id': 'ravitej', 'pass': 'password', 'auth': 'plain'}
   • test:
     • name:"login success"
     • url: "/api/login"
     • method: "POST"
     • body: '{"username": "$user_id", "password": "$pass", "authtype": "$auth"}'
     • headers: {Content-Type: application/json}
     • expected_status: [200]
     • group: "User"

2. In this below case: I'm running 1st test set and I'm getting some auth_token in response this auth_token is saved to auth_key to use in another test set, but this auth_key is not passing to the 2nd test set. it was passing an empty variable. I tried all possible ways wich are posted in Github still I am getting the same problem

   • test:

     • name: "Registration"
     • url: "/api/register"
     • method: "POST"
     • body: '{"device_id": "0080", "device_key": "imAck", "device_name": "teja", "device_description": "Added By Ravi", "project_tag": "MYSTQ-16", "attributes": "{}"}'
     • headers: {Content-Type: application/json}
     • expected_status: [200]
     • group: "Register"
     • extract_binds: - 'auth_key': {'jsonpath_mini': 'auth_token'}

   • test:

     • name: "Status"
     • url: "/api/status"
     • method: "POST"
     • body: '{"attributes": {"num_ports": "2", "model": "Phillips", "firmware_ver": "8.0.1", "ipaddress": "192.168.0.0", "rssi": "Not Available"}}'
     • headers: {Content-Type: application/json, auth_token: "$auth_key"}
     • expected_status: [200]
     • group: "Status"

Answer 1

need to use template headers, like

headers: {template: {Content-Type: application/json, auth_token: "$auth_key"}}

Example: headers: {template: {'$headername': '$headervalue', '$cache': '$cachevalue'}}

its worked fine now
