Problems using executeExternalCommand [message #1265601] Thu, 06 March 2014 09:55 Go to next message

Hi!

I want to automatically compare two Excel files to verify the output during regression testing.

1. I have created a TC which uses the "ub_appExecuteExternalCommand" . The TC takes two parameters "EXCEL_FILE_1 [String]" and "EXCEL_FILE_2 [String]".

2. The command that I specify for the ub_appExecuteExternalCommand is:
"D:/Program Files/ExcelCompare-0.3.1/bin/excel_cmp.cmd" "=EXCEL_FILE_1" "=EXCEL_FILE_2"

3. The expected exit code is set to 0

4. Then I run the TC with values:
EXCEL_FILE_1 = D:/test/A.xls
EXCEL_FILE_2 = D:/test/B.xls

=> Even though A.xls and B.xls differs the result is OK according to Jubula

If I run the command on the command-line and then check "echo %ERRORLEVEL%", it shows "1", i.e. the exit code is 1.

The only workaround for this is to include everything in the .cmd file and not use parameters to the execute external command, but that is not the solution we want.

Any idea how to solve this?

Regards,

Anders

exit %%ERRORLEVEL%% at the end of the .cmd script

I am having problems when the file path EXCEL_FILE_1 or EXCEL_FILE_2 contain spaces.
Then it always fails for some reason...

What could be the problem?

Hi,

White spaces being problematic rings a bell. The docs for this are in the reference manual (search for execute external command and then find the second hit).

Hope that helps,
Alex
