relative path for txt Files to be loaded from in Properties Step

« on: October 02, 2007, 11:09:42 pm »

Ole,
Can a txt file be loaded up with a relative path? This is necessary so that after we check in our scripts in a repository(all the files can be in 1 folder), anyone can check them out and without changing any paths, run the scripts.

Thanks,
Tanvi

Hi,

currently relative paths are resolved relative to the working directory, I guess you want to resolve relative to the project file?

Yep, there is a tutorial for the use of realtive to the the working directory here

lets say our project file and properties file are in C:\temp
can we use something like

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.path\temp
or
context.testCase.testSuite.project.path\temp

in a datasource or properties file.

I saw this in one of your posts about absolute paths in groovy in sourceforge forums.

Thanks

Ali

Hi Ali,

no, this will unfortunately not work.. as you know we are in the process of improving property-related functionality, one improvement will be the availability of a number of predefined properties, including a "projectDir" property containing the folder of the project file, which you will be able to use as you suggest, for example with "${projectDir}\temp.properties" in a properties step source file.. for now you will need a groovy script..
