Dynamic expressions in depends on?

[AYabroudy]

Hi,

I'm trying to simplify the process of setting up common test when I install new servers. All my tests for each server are grouped in a folder named the same as the server. I've been using the %Folder% macro variable to generalize the tests.

One area I'm having some trouble with though is generalizing the dependencies. For example, each of my tests depends on a ping of the server with the ping test named Ping servername. Is it possible to setup a depends on expression with a dynamically generated test name? Something like 'Ping %Folder%::SimpleStatus == "UP"' is what I'm looking for.

Is this even possible or is there another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,
Alan Yabroudy

No, there is no such option.

===============
When you specify test item name, comment, Related URL and Private Log path you may use folder-related variables plus you may use variables that represent parameters of the test (test-properties variables):
