don't understand files.check
I want to check a PDF to a known good that is stored with the stores. I have
Files.MyFile_pdf.Check "C:\Project path\OutputFiles\MyFile.pdf", 0
I get a The file checkpoint ... failed.
MyFile_pdf item
The files "MyFile_pdf" and "C:\Project path\OutputFiles\MyFile.pdf" are not equal. The files are of different size. 0 bytes are different.
The size of the file MyFile_pdf is 36669 bytes.
The size of the file "C:\Project path\OutputFiles\MyFile.pdf" is 36660 bytes.
Allowed difference: 0 bytes.
Adjust checkpoint parameters to make the next comparison successful.
The last sentence is a link. I click on the link and it says
The difference between the files is 1%
There is a slight difference between the compared files. If you want the checkpoint to report them as equal, set its Allow Difference parameter to 0.
The allowable difference IS zero. I don't understand what to set Allow Difference to to ensure that these files match for this small difference but still report a difference if the file changes some other way. I don't even know why the files are reporting different sizes since they look like they are the same size in Windows explorer and originated from the same mechanism.
I don't understand what I am seeing for the return value of the GetHashValue method when I call it.
Looking at the he;l[p file for the dialog, I see
TestComplete will recalculate the needed parameter values for this checkpoint so that the next comparison is successful. To apply the calculated value, specify it in the checkpoint's parameters manually.
But that is not actually the case.
Can someone help me understand file check better than the help file? Thanks
