AUT Configuration environment variable [message #1727010]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to configure an AUT using environment variables, like setting the AUT working directory or the executable file name.
e.g. AUT working Directory: %AUT_HOME% , where AUT_HOME is C\jubula-workspace\app

Thanks in advance, Gabriel

On a similar use case I modified the jubula database with a SQL script to make the replacement before launching and revert the modification after the test.

This is a very dirty workaround and it will be a last resort solution.

The best solution is to pass an environment variable in the configuration, this way by setting the system variable the same exported test cases can be executed on multiple machines that have the same RCP application but at different locations with no prior modifications made to the AUT Configuration.

Hi,

there are several places where you can adjust the settings how the AUT should be started:

* AUT Dialog: Here you can define properties for the AUT
index.php/fa/25348/0/

*AUT configuration Dialog: Here you can add AUT Arguments, JRE Arguments and System Environment Variables which are active for the AUT as soon as it has been started
index.php/fa/25349/0/

Hope this helps
Oliver

I could not find any documentation on how to use the System environment Variables in AUT Advanced configuration. Maybe you could provide me some examples or use cases.
