    Hi

    Thank you for your answers. 

     

    TanyaYatskovska  this code refers to the name of the running function and not to the name of the file in which the function is stored.

     

    I found a solution how to find the name of the file from which the function is run.

     

     

    function retrievedNameRelatedUnit() {
     let testItemNameFull = Project.TestItems.Current.ElementToBeRun.Caption;
     var formatTestItemNameFull = testItemNameFull.split(/\Name-Full.split(/\Name-- /));
     return formatTestItemNameFull[1];
}

     

    there is an array with the file name in the variable.

     

    You can use the file name (Unitu) to dynamically run the file by e.g. aqObject Object

     

    TY for all your help!

Hi,

 

Actually, solution for JScript (and, hopefully, JavaScript) is provided in the thread that you referenced.

For VBScript and DelphiScript this is not possible.

Don't know for Python.

    Hi Wamboo,

    For JavaScript you can use this code:

    function Afunction()
    {
      var theName = arguments.callee.toString().match(/function (\w*)/)[1];
    }
