How to use local variable in spock test case in another class? - variables

Question

I want to use the "dashVer" in StartupTest.groovy in Zip.groovy, but "dashVer" in Zip.groovy return in "null". For detail, please read below, thank you very much!!!!
StartupTest.groovy
class StartupTest extends Specification {
String dashVer
void updateGlobalString(String dashVersion){
dashVer=dashVersion
}
def 'Start_test'() {
setup:
.......
when: 'Test started'
String dashVersion= new GetDashVer().Get_dash_ver().toString()
println(dashVersion) //Eg.the result is 3.3.3 return from GetDashVer class sucessfully
updateGlobalString(dashVersion)
and:
...
then:
...
}
}
Zip.groovy
class ZipUploadSlack {
//Attempt 1
StartupTest test = new StartupTest()
String dashVer111 = test.updateGlobalString()
//Attept 2
//StartupTest test = new StartupTest()
//String dashVer111 = test.dashVer
def 'Zip'(){
println(dashVer111) //This should be return in 3.3.3, but it is "null" for now for both attepts
}
}

#Jacob Aae Mikkelsen, thanks for the advice. Seems static variable working.
Just tried with below:
Startuptest.groovy
class StartupTest extends Specification {
static String dashbVer
static Integer errorCount
String updateGlobalString(String dashVersion){
dashVer=dashVersion
return dashVer
}
Integer updateGlobalInteger(Integer errorC){
errorCount=errorC
return errorCount
}
void updateGlobalString(String dashVersion){
dashVer=dashVersion
}
def 'Start_test'() {
setup:
.......
when: 'Test started'
String dashVersion= new GetDashVer().Get_dash_ver().toString()
println(dashVersion) //Eg.the result is 3.3.3 return from GetDashVer class sucessfully
updateGlobalString(dashVersion)
and:
...
then: 'No error log found'
def error = dash.logFinder.search(/\(ERROR\)/)
error.isEmpty() //Let says it is true, it is empty as no error found
int errorC = error.size() as Integer //.size is using List.java, #return the number of elements in this list
println(errorC) //Here return as 0 as expected
updateGlobalInteger(errorC) // Here return with error, "condition not satisfied groovy"
}
}
Zip.groovy
class ZipUploadSlack {
//Obtain dashVer
StartupTest test = new StartupTest()
String dashVer111 = test.dashVer
def 'Zip'(){
println(dashVer111) //This can return correct dashVer now
}
}
My new question is why there is "condition not satisfied groovy" error when executing updateGlobalInteger(errorC)? errorC is integer and the updateGlobalInteger function is returning a integer, why failed? Thanks!!!!
