Project Variables Issue

Hi,

 

I am using the variables to autamate my testing for a dektop application. I don't know how to view the usage of those variables? 

Meaning that from the Project variable itself, I can view and know the exact test item that used that variable.

Maybe this issue can make my work more easier and efficient.

 

Thank you

    You can always do a search for Project.Variables.<Variable Name>.  That will find all instances of where that variable is in use.

    Project.Variables aren't "code" like other variable declarations are.  So, there's no tracing back to the definition/declaration. They are items in the XML format of the MDS file of your project, configuration more than code. As RUDOLF_BOTHMA mentions, you can put in a feature request. 

    Alternatively, you could create a code unit and use traditional variables as your globals in whatever code language you're using.

    Hi Nursyamim 

     

    Would you mind elaborating a bit ?

     

    From my understanding, it might be the way forward is to put in a New Feature Request

     

    Or to search through current feature requests to see if someone hasn't already requested something similar for you to Kudo to get up the priority list
