In the file comparison operation, IF we have a baseline file in our files which we use as EXPECTED DATA. And if we go to web page and export a new data file(ACTUAL DATA) how can that File pulled in to store to compare with baseline file?
I am trying to validate data in this sceanario.
Why can't you use file checkpoint? What happens when you try?
The new file doesn't need to be "pulled in". When you create the file checkpoint, in keyword tests, the first file you select will be your "actual data". Then you indicate to use your stored "expected data" as the file to be used for the comparison. (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/checkpoints/files/creating.html)
If you're using script code, reference the following.
Yes, "How can i indicate to use your stored "expected data" as the file to be used for the comparison".
This is the sceanrio:
I am working on an Inventory project, So First file i have kept in my local system as Actual Data. But Now My challenge is i will need to automate a scenario where i need go to the inventory UI and export a new report and this exported report will be downloaded in local system automatically. Now how can i compare files, First file which is already in my local system as "extected data" and the second file which is downloaded using export report functionality"(actual data).
