How to get to catalog request using ATF

Hey guys,

I am trying to test a catalog request using the Automated Test Framework (ATF).  I would like to validate some fields in the sc_request table after ordering a Catalog Item.  So I am wondering how to I open an existing request that I just created.

Steps used in ATF:

Impersonate User

Open a Catalog Item

Set Variable Values

Order Catalog Item

I can query the request item using the following:

find_real_file.png

I can also query the catalog task using

find_real_file.png

However, how do I query the request in the sc_request table so that I can then open up the form?

Thanks in advance

Troy

Oh Okay got it. Can you try this to get the REQ and open the REQ form-

 

Give Sys ID instead of Request in the Conditions-

 

find_real_file.png

 

Data pill chosen is-

find_real_file.png

Okay I am guessing "glide.sc.checkout.twostep" is set to 'true' on your instance. Can you check this property on 'sys_properties' table.

 

If that property is set to 'true', the ATF will not execute as expected as it is a known issue (https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0695998)

 

Set that Property to "false" and re-run your ATF, it should work. 

 

Let me know the result 🙂

Thanks so much shruthiub.  Worked a treat 🙂

Thanks Priyanka,

I had gone through this article but only shows how to open up a requested item, approval and tasks.  It doesn't actually open up the request.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

please select the Request field from the data picker of Order a Catalog item step to open sc_request record
