    Hi Simon, 

     

    Keyword tests do not require any scripting, though you can use Code snippets or reference script tests from a keyword test.

     

    As for the variables, please see this video to see if it helps

Hi brumazz,

Thanks for the info. I decided to take a different route because Google, in their infinite wisdom, have decided not to use the "regular" MSI field value "version" to store the version of Chrome, so, I generated an INI file instead -

I can now read the INI file and define the variables I wish to use for a Keyword Test

So, the question now is (hope it's ok to post in same thread), how do I use the variables "chromeProductCode" & "chromeVersion" as input into an application's respective fields, during a Keyword test.

Is there an online article you can point me to? Also, will the Keyword test have to be fully scripted?

 

cheers in advance

Simon
