Greetings,
I need AutoGUI scripts to enter values that are known only at invocation
time, i.e. in one execution I need a textfield populated with the value
'foo', in another with the value 'bar'. Can't use a datapool since -
although the number of possible values is finite - I need only one value
entered for a given execution of a script. The particular value, however,
is not known until invocation time. Akin to passing arguments to an ant
script from the command line. Now, in the doc I see there is the notion
of using variables in a macro:
%VARIABLE_NAME%
Where are the values for variables referenced in the macro defined? Can
they be passed when invoking TPTP to execute a AutoGUI script?
If no, is there a preferred mechanism to pass variables used by the
runtime? FWIW, I am invoking a given test suite through ant from the
command line using the following task:
<tptp:test
workspace="${scs.root.dir}\dev-ws"
project="com.webify.wsf.studio.test"
suite="test-suites/${scs.test.suite}"
synchronicity="synchronous"
vmargs="-Dagr.exe.ws=${scs.root.dir}\exe-ws"
/>
and ideally would like to pass any arguments to the script through this
task.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
- Stephan

Currently there is no mechanism for the user to link user input with a
variable that is set during runtime. I have opened the following defect to
see if I can provide this functionality in the 4.3-time frame, which ends by
next week:
