Pasing arguments to testexecute command line

thank you Jared,,



here is a snippet of code for those interested in (totaly free).

I use a flag "/arg" to recognize that it is an argument passed from the command line

I use this args to create/update projectsuites variables value, but you can do whatever you want.



//

//  handle arguments passed on the command line

//  the command line is in the form:

// "%ProgramFiles%\Automated QA\TestExecute 7\Bin\TestExecute.exe" <PJS File> /run /project:<project> /unit:<Unit> /routine:handleArguments /arg:S:Solution="FMFI" /arg:S:SgbdType="Oracle" /arg:S:IniFile="fileini.txt" /exit /SilentMode

//  args can be already defined in the projectsuite or are added if they do not exists.

//  args are defined by the /arg:<Type>:<Name>=<Value>

//  Type can be S(string)|I(integer)|D(double)|B(boolean)

//  the flag /exit must be passed after tha /arg flag.

function handleArguments()

{

  var max=BuiltIn.ParamCount();

  var i,tabVar,str;

  var varType = new Array();

  var re = new RegExp("[:=]","g");

 

  // define the type of variable

  varType['S']='String';

  varType['B']='Boolean';

  varType['D']='Double';

  varType['I']='Integer';

 

  // for each param

  for (i=0;i<max;i++) {

     str = BuiltIn.ParamStr(i);

     // if it is an /arg flag

     if(str.indexOf('/arg')!=-1) {

        // Split the flag to get type, name and value of the variable

        tabVar=str.split(re);

        // if the variable is unknown, add it

        if (!ProjectSuite.Variables.VariableExists(tabVar[2]))

            ProjectSuite.Variables.AddVariable(tabVar[2],varType[tabVar[1].toUpperCase()]);

        // set its new value

        eval('ProjectSuite.Variables.'+tabVar[2]+'="'+tabVar[3]+'"');    

    }          

  }

  // this list the default and the local value of the projectsuites variables

  max=ProjectSuite.Variables.VariableCount;

  for (i=0;i<max;i++) {

    // this is the default value

    BuiltIn.ShowMessage('Default :'+ ProjectSuite.Variables.GetVariableName(i)+'='+ProjectSuite.Variables.GetVariableDefaultValue(i));        

    // this is the local value

    BuiltIn.ShowMessage('Local :'+ ProjectSuite.Variables.GetVariableName(i)+'='+eval('ProjectSuite.Variables.'+ProjectSuite.Variables.GetVariableName(i)));        

    }

}
