Issue
There is a limit in ATF that using the Set Form Value or Record Insert test step on condition fields is not possible as ATF believes such fields are read-only.
The workaround for this limit is to skip the read-only UI validation by directly setting the value of the condition fields at the server side.
For example:
1. Create a new Test
2. Create the first step of the test and choose 'Server' ==> 'Run Server Side Script', make the step on the target table that your test works on
3. Use a script to set the 'condition' field. The following is an example of it:
| (function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) { // add test script here var testGr = new GlideRecord("<target table>"); testGr.initialize(); testGr.setValue("<condition field>", "<encoded query string>"); testGr.setWorkflow(false); var newRecordSysId = testGr.insert(); var newTestGr = new GlideRecord("<target table>"); if (newTestGr.get(newRecordSysId)) { stepResult.setOutputMessage("Successfully inserted <target table> record"); outputs.table = "<target table>"; outputs.record_id = newRecordSysId; return true; } else { stepResult.setOutputMessage("Failed to insert <target table> record"); return false; } })(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual); |
4. Ensure to set mandatory fields as well in above script.
5. Create the second step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Open an Existing Record'
6. Setup the test step and make it open the record inserted by step 3 by using the reference selecting icon. Save the test step
7. Create the third step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Set Field Values'
8. Set the rest fields you need as your original plan
9. Complete the rest test steps according your requirement
