I edited the FilePath value in Properties by adding separator(\\ldvdevinvrt01\resources\Sharepipe\) . Still it is failing..

Executed this below groovy and got the correct FilePath value

 

def path = context.expand('${TC Properties#FilePath}${TC Properties#Transaction_ID}.txt')
log.info path

Output Returned: \\ldvdevinvrt01\resources\Sharepipe\CC8F5797-8CB5-4175-A564-781A5DA76221.txt

 

While giving this output value in FileWait step, TC passes. Problem is with Property Expansion.

    Looks you are trying to access the files from network.
    Can you map "\\ldvdevinvrt01" to a local drive say, Z and replace the FilePath with "Z:/resources/Sharepipe/"

      Nope :smileysad: still failing.. TC Passes with the hardcoded value (Y:\Sharepipe\CC8F5797-8CB5-4175-A564-781A5DA76221.txt)

        Can you show some more lines of actual code of the script, please?

        Use file path separator "/" even on windows.
        Avoid spaces in file / directory names.
        Have you checked if the file exists?
