Display Variable Value

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Generic Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to display the value stored in a variable during execution or debugging. The execution result is stored in the given dynamic variable

Syntax

Input Value: <variable>

Note:

• The variable name should be enclosed within curly braces {}.

• A display variable popup displays the variable name and its value.

• The input variable must already exist. When the user provides a non-existing variable, the Avo Assure-Display Variable displays null as the variable value.

• By default, the Avo Assure-Display Variable dialog box remains visible for 3 seconds. You can increase or decrease this duration in the config.json file under the displayVariableTimeOut tag.

• The action supports both static and dynamic variables.

• You can also provide an index to a display variable by using another dynamic variable. The index starts from 0. For example:

  • 1-dimensional array: {variable[index value]}

  • 2-dimensional array: {variable[index value],[index value]}

Argument	Description
<variable> (Required)	Provide the name of the variable whose value you want to display.

Output Value: <Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)

Argument	Description
<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)	Both dynamic variables store the status as True or False.

Example 1: Displaying the Value of a Stored Variable

In this example, we explain how to display the current value of an existing variable during test execution.

• Action: Display Variable Value

• Input Value: {EmpID}

  • The argument ({EmpID}) specifies the variable whose stored value needs to be displayed at runtime.

• Output Value: {Status} (Optional)

  • If an output variable is provided, then action returns the execution status as True or False:

    • True: If the variable value is displayed successfully.

    • False: If the action fails due to an invalid variable name or missing value.

• Logical Explanation: The Display Variable Value action retrieves the value stored in the variable provided in the Input Value column ({EmpID}) and shows it in the Avo Assure – Display Variable dialog box during execution or debugging. As shown in the screenshot, the value (331399) assigned to {EmpID} is displayed to help users verify or troubleshoot the stored data.

Example 2: Displaying a String Value from an Array Using Index

In this example, we explain how to fetch and display a specific element from an array-type dynamic variable.

• Action: Display Variable Value

• Input Value: {Values[1]}

  • The argument ({Values[1]}) specifies that the action should retrieve the value stored at index 1 of the dynamic array variable {Values}.

• Output Value: {DisplayedValue} (Optional)

  • If an output variable is provided, then action stores the execution status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the value is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the array does not exist or the index is invalid.

• Using Array Index:

  • When the action displays the array, you access its values using index value as shown below.

    • {Values[0]} → stores 12

    • {Values[1]} → stores 34

    • {Values[2]} → stores 23

    • {Values[3]} → stores 45

• Logical Explanation: The Display Variable Value action displays the 1^st index value by using the ({Values[1]}) variable as input and displays the indexing value 34 in the Avo Assure - Display Variable dialog box.
