Default parameter from variable
I have a KW test that takes in a parameter
I can pass a variable from the Execution Plan, can I set a variable as a default value?
Forum Discussion
Thanks for the idea
The basics of it is:
- Smartbear don't understand the question
- can't be done in KW by default but this is quite easy to address but you have to 'program' a solution for this yourself and, more importantly, remember to do it everytime it is needed
Hi Lee,
It looks like there indeed was a misunderstanding from our side - my apologies for that.
As for this particular task, it looks like you have found a solution that works best for you. Just as a theoretical alternative, I can also suggest using the project variable in the keyword test directly so that the parametrization only takes place once.
As for the inability to achieve the task without using code, you can register it as a feature request here: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Feature-Requests/idb-p/TestXCompleteFeatureRequests.
Thank you!
Julia,
This is something that I would have expected was inherited from the start.
The solution I have and your suggestion are similar.
The idea is to get something reusable and not on a 'per instance' basis
I have settled on writing a module that takes in the parameter and checks it - then the test continues
Thanks for your comment
Lee.
