Random number from the range

Generate random int or float from provided range.

I generate a random “(int|float)” in the range from “([^”])" to “([^”])" and save it as “([^”]*)" #

This step generates random number and save it in scenario cache. To obtain once saved value, use syntax from text/template package.

First argument random "(int|float)" in allows to pick type of number.

Second argument from "([^"]*)" to "([^"]*)" and allows to pick interval from which number will be generated.

Last argument and save it as "([^"]*)"$ allows you to pick name under which generated number will be saved in scenario cache.

Tip: Later, if you want to use generated float, you can format it using functions from text/template package, for example

    Given I generate a random "float" in the range from "34.5" to "39.4" and save it as "RANDOM_TEMPERATURE_C"
    When I send "POST" request to "{{.MY_APP_URL}}/data" with body and headers:
    """
    {
        "body": {
            "temperature": {{printf `%.2f` .RANDOM_TEMPERATURE_C}}
        },
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type": "{{.CONTENT_TYPE_JSON}}"
        }
    }
    """

Examples:

Given I generate a random "int" in the range from "18" to "48" and save it as "RANDOM_AGE"
Given I generate a random "float" in the range from "35.5" to "38.3" and save it as "RANDOM_TEMPERATURE_C"
