I am testing an API which has access token . Access token is service token, so irrespective of how many users , only one access token will be created. So i want to create only one access token .

how can i achieve it.

Currently i have two scenarios class , one for accessToken and actualApi. In the simulation class , i use  
accessToken followed by actualApi in the SetUp method.  
Even though I am able to generate access\_token , i am not able to pass that to `accessToken` to actual API here.

Hi @partheeban,

@GeMi was kind enough to implement a full example:

Cheers!
