Change AUT Config Path before executing test [message #1393503] Thu, 03 July 2014 22:39 Go to next message

Is it possible to change the AUT executable path, in the AUT config before running a test?

For example, I'm testing one installer, and after running the installer I would need to run the uninstaler, but the uninstaller path will depend on the path you supplied to the installer. <-This means, it will vary, I can't have a static AUT Config for this.

So, is there a way of changing the AUT Config of the Uninstaller Test Project, just before running it?

Thanks ind Advance.

Hi,

I can't think of a way I know right now, but I'll ask.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi,

I asked, and the suggestion is to start your AUT via a script that can read an environment variable. Then you can set the environment variable to be the flexible part of your path.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for looking into that Alex, I'll see what I can do with the script approach


Edit: I got another question,

I have a program that changes its behaviour depending if it can find certain files(or environmental variables) in the system, so if it finds these files it send you to a determined screen, if it doesn.t it sends you to another screen.

Is there a way to check in the Jubula test if a file/variable exist in order to choose which testsuite to use?

Edit2: Also, is it possible to choose a variable depending on the OS I have running in the machine?

For the AUT config path, you can also modify the database directly (quite easy if you're already using ANT to launch tests) :
update aut_conf_attr
set attr_value = 'XXXX'
where attr_key = 'WORKING_DIR';
update aut_conf_attr
set attr_value = 'XXXXX\\YYYY.exe'
where attr_key = 'EXECUTABLE';

you may want to add more conditions in the where clauses in order to be sure to modify only the project you really want to modify.

For checking whether a file or variable exists, you can execute a script as an external command and check its return value.

But can you use that return value to 'branch' your testing?(go through a different flow than what you would normally do?)

Thanks in Advance

Fernando

You can use an event handler to do that; however, if the script's exit code does not match your expected value, then the test case that calls the script will still show up as a failure.

You might be able to get around this by storing your command in a variable, using the value of that variable as your COMMAND parameter, and then (in the event handler) overwriting the variable with a command that will always return your expected value. Then you can give the event handler a reentry type of RETRY, and the test case should pass after the event handler executes.
