ShellScript Params as Macro Variable

[oryagel]

Hi,

I have a shell script test.
I want to have the Params field in the Comment field.
I can use

Code: Select all

%object% %object2%

but that only gives the first two params.

Is there a a way to get all params?

Thanks

There is no another variable but I am not sure why do you need it. You may copy parameters into comment.
Are you changing test parameters on regular basis?

Yes. We use parameters for thresholds values.
In addition, we duplicate tests and edit them instead of creating them from an empty template.
Copying the parameters to the comment will make us to remember to edit both fields.

Thanks

So there is no way to get the parameters and use it in the comment?

No.
May be we can implement some option but right now we are busy with version 10.00. This task will not be implemented before version 10.00 release

Bumping up this thread..

We need the ability to use the Params of a Shell Script test in an action of type "Execute external program".

For example, the Params contains a lower threshold, upper threshold and time frame in minutes. We want the action to be able to use these values.

Thanks

You may try using %TestedObjectInfo% variable.
It has value like the following:
Shell script "ScriptName" [ScriptParam1 ScriptParam2 ScriptParam3]

Another way is to use %Object% and %Object2% variables in Comment Line N, then use %CommentLineX% variable as parameter for action.
E.g.:
Specify Comment Line 5 as: %Object% %Object2%
Use %CommentLine5% variable as parameter of the action.
Only first 2 parameters can be retrieved using this method.
