Python BDD modules

Hi   Just getting started with TestComplete and BDD. I'm experienced with Python BDD (Behave) with Selenium. Just a little unsure how to work with python modules. I can't seem to import my classes ...

    Ok, I managed it like this:

     

    import login as login_object

     

    login = login_object.Login.get_instance()

     

     

    My Class is like this though:

     

    class Login:
    instance = None

    @classmethod
    def get_instance(cls):
        if cls.instance is None:
            cls.instance = Login()
        return cls.instance

    login = Login.get_instance()

     

    So looks a bit ugly, but does work. But if anyone has a better solution that would be cool

Hi jonathon ,

 

firstly when you add a file in python project under Script folder, it will automatically create a ".py" file.

for importing classes from one file to another file, you can refer here (call procedures or variables declared in another unit) , 

in your case if you want to use the definitions or variables declared n "test" file in any other file (sample),

you have to Add the following to the beginning of the "sample" file

 

import test

and after that you can refer to the variables in "sample" script which are declared in "test" file like showen in the below code snippet.

unser "test.py"

 

 

UserName = 'sampleUsername'
Password = 'samplePassword'

under "sample.py"

 

 

import test

def sampleTest():
  uName = test.sampleUsername
  pwd = test.Password
  Log.Message(uName + pwd)  
  ##### Output will be 'sampleUsernamesamplePassword'
