Iterative data driven CI

Hi,

There are two ways you to achieve your scenarios,

Way #1:

In Jenkins, TestComplete build step you can additional command line arguments to get your value into TestComplete.

Step 1: Add a parameter for your jenkins build

Step 2: Use that parameter in additional command line arguments, as like below

Step 3: In your project suite, Create a OnStartTest event, add below code into that

function GeneralEvents_OnStartTest(Sender)
{
      Project.Variables.StartRow = returnParamValue("StartRow");
}
function returnParamValue(strParamName){
      for(var i = 0 ; i < BuiltIn.ParamCount() ; i++){
            var currentParamName = BuiltIn.ParamStr(i);
            if(aqString.Find(currentParamName,strParamName,0,true) != -1 ){
                    var arr = currentParamName.split("=");
                    return arr[1];
            }
      }     
}

Step 4: Now you can use your Project.Variables.StartRow.

Way #2:

As you mentioned in the getting value from some text file. In this scenario, when you run in jenkins it is difficult to give dynamic path.

I would prefer 1st way which is very dynamic and easy to understand but need some time for initial setup.
