Question

I have a variable stateID with value 11 in test case CreateStateID. How do I pass this value to test case DeleteStateID in selenium wedriver?

This works fine in selenium IDE but not in webdriver.

In selenium IDE CreateStateID

storeEval  | /\d*$/.exec(storedVars['myLocation'])  | stateID

I had to write java code for above statement in my selenium2 program.

In selenium IDE DeleteStateID

echo | ${stateID}  

the selenium2 code for this is

System.out.println("${sid}");

which prints out null.

Is the best way to write java method where I pass stateID from one test case to another?

Thanks

As stated in the comments:

• check this question – it could help.

• Another approach would be have the variable as static variable inside the tests, with getters and setters:

  private static String neededVariable;
  
  public String getVariable(){
    return neededVariable;
  }
  
  public void setVariable(String var){
    this.neededVariable = var;
  }
  

And later in the code:

   String stateID = //the way how you get it from the storeEval
   setVariable(stateID);

And in another test:

   String stateID = getVariable();
   //... and work with the stateID as you need

Works ok in mine tests
