Repeatable Block

In repeatable block, blocks can be repeated based on certain parameters. The parameters can be:

• Count the parameters
• Value of the parameter and
• Constant value provided by user
• Count: If the parameter is search parameter and if it is ord all, and its occurrence is 4, then 4 times the block of text can be repeated.
• Value: If the value of given parameter defined in spec file has value 3, then 3 times the block of text can be repeated.
• Num: If the value provided by the user is 10, then block of text can be repeated 10 times.
• The block which user is going to repeat can be a constant string, variable or combination of constant string and variable.
• Nested (Repeat block inside repeat block) repeatable block can be used.

Repeatable Block Format

{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep(<char>),Count(<parameter_name)} String{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END}

Where:

• $CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START: Start of repeat block.
• sep: Separator is used to separate the block which is repeating. Users can give any character in separator. Example: , | & etc. Default value of separator is no separator. Separator is optional. Separator is in double quotes so that string or a char can be given. String can be combination of all char.
• Count: Count is used to specify that user is going to repeat the block on the number of occurrence of the parameter. Parameter name is specified inside count. Parameter which has specified ALL in its ORD option is only allowed inside count. These can be search parameter and XML parameter.
• If someone specifies parameter having ORD other than ALL, parsing error comes.
• String: String is the block which user wants to repeat. This can be a constant string, variable or a combination of both.
• $CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END: It indicates the end of repeatable block.

{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep(<char>),Value(<parameter_name>)} String{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END}

Where:

• Value: Value of a parameter can be used to repeat a block. The parameter that user wants to use to repeat is specified inside value(). User can use any parameter name inside value. If the parameter name specified inside value is not found in the list of parameters in script, then parsing error comes.

{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep(<char>),Num(<IntegerValue>)} String{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END}

Where:

Num: Num is used to specify the number of times, a block of text needs to be repeated. It must be an integer value. This value must not be negative. Num value must not be 0. In case of negative value, parsing error appears.

Nested Repeatable Block Format

Nested repeatable block is also supported. Another repeat block can be specified inside repeat block. 100 levels of recursion are supported. Nested repeatable block format would be like:

{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START, sep(<char>),Count(<parameter_name>){$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep(<char>),Count(<parameter_name)} String{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END}{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END}

Repeatable Block for Request URL

Repeatable block can be used in request URL so that certain query parameter value can be repeated based on the condition. The format which is used for the repeatable block for requested URL is:

 ns_web_url (“Page1”, “URL=http://127.0.0.1/tours/index.html?{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START, sep(&), Count(search_var)}name={query_var}{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END} “);

Repeatable Block for Header

Repeatable block is supported in request header. The format which is used for the repeatable block for requested URL is:

ns_web_url (“Page1”,  “URL=http://127.0.0.1/ tours/index.html” “Header={$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep(&), Count(search_var)}Accept-Language:en-IN{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END} “);

Repeatable Block for Body

Repeatable block is supported in request body. The format which is used for the repeatable block for requested URL is:

ns_web_url (“Page1”, “URL=http://127.0.0.1/tours/index.html”,  “Header=Accept-Language: en-IN”,

 “BODY= {$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_START,sep()Count(search_var)}<name>{search_var}</name>

{$CAVREPEAT_BLOCK_END} “, INLINE_URLS);

Repeatable Block Behavior for All Parameters

Random Number: For random repetition of a string, use random number in a repeatable block. Count case in repeatable block does not use random var as it is scalar variable. If random value comes 0, then string is not repeated.

Search Parameter: For search parameter, Count case in repeatable block supports search variable in ord all case. Value case in repeat block can use ord for all types.

XML Parameter: Same as search parameter.

Index Parameter: Only the value option in reparable block can use index parameter.

Declare parameter: Declare parameter can be used in repeatable block. Value case in repeatable block is used. Count can’t be used, as it is scalar variable.

Declare Array Parameter: Declare array can use count case in repeatable block. For value case, user needs to give index associated with declare array parameter.

File Parameter: If user needs string to be repeated based on file parameter value, user can use. Only value option repeatable block can be used for repeatable block.

Steps for Repeatable Block

User needs to follow the below-mentioned steps for using repeatable block feature:

1. Open the c file of the script in the right pane of the Script Manager window and select the text block that wants to be repeated.
2. Right-click over the selected text and click the Repeatable Block
