Input text from external file [message #1066400]

Hi,
under test I want to create a new file and then use "ub_app_inputText" to input text into the new file from a text document.

The text document can change so I need ANT to download the text document before every test run.

What is the preferred way to do this in Jubula?

Regards,
Asgeir

Hi,

is there any way you could get the text into an Excel sheet? There is support for older versions of Excel to be used as data for a test. Otherwise, I'm sure there must be a way of doing it, but I'm not sure how. If no one else here has any ideas, you could try the developer list. They might be able to point you to the correct place to adapt Jubula / a way of achieving this with the current implementation.

HTH,
Alex

Thanks for the answer Smile

But I have now found a way to do it I use environment variables in the tests.

So to answer my own question: Razz

I run the tests with a script like this (bash):

rm file.txt
wget http://www.eclipse.org/file.txt
export TEST_UDV_FILE=$(cat "file.txt")
ant test

in the test I use "ub_app_inputText" with this:

${FILE}

in the VARIABLE field.

The problem now is that I actual want to do it all (setting the environment variables) within the ANT-script.
