Runing a composite ReadyAPI project from Github Actions

[Satheesh-raju]

Hi All, @nmrao 

Am trying to execute a test suite from ReadyAPI project in GitHub via GitHub Actions on a self-hosted runner.

As per the documentation available on ReadyAPI, I wrote the following workflow file in GitHub. But while running the workflow from Github am getting the error "No project file is specified." To upload the project to GitHub the ReadyAPI project is converted to composite project and the composite project don't have the readyapi project.xml file.

Any suggestions on how to write the command line in the workflow file to run the ReadyAPi tests from Github Actions

PFB the workflow file am using now (which is giving the error "No project file is specified.)

Are you generating the command line from ReadyAPI, like [here]? You may need to specify the full path to TestRunner.

The error seems to be correct as there is no project file specified to be executed.

So, please provide the project path as well (hope that is available under github repo) at the last in the command.

Please find the documentation for reference:

Hi @Kitt , @nmrao ,

When the project is configured to github the project is changed to composite project as shown below and dont have any <projectname>.xml file ( As shown below)

Project file before configuring GItHub

When GitHub is configured in ReadyAPI for the project

When I tried to generate the Command line from the TestRunner GUI from ReadyAPI, only the destination of the composite project is shown as the Default Environment argument

Am able to run that command in the command prompt in my local machine and the tests are running without any errors. The mentioned error " No Project file specified" is displaying only when I try to run the tests from Github Actions with the same command line generated from TestRunner GUI.

Hi, This I have solved with some changes in the workflow file.

Modified the run command as 

run: |
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-3.41.0\bin\testrunner.bat "-sTest Suite 1" -r -a -j "-fD:\ReadyAPI Reports" "-RJUnit-Style HTML Report" -FXML "-ETest" D:\DSP
