How to provide the testedapp path where application name changes

[naveens33_]

I got a situation where my application name changes as per the version provided. How to handle this in TestedApps -> application path 

For example, 
C:\Jenkins\workspace\appwindows\AppSetup_2.0.1103-Staging-Debug.exe

C:\Jenkins\workspace\appwindows\AppSetup_2.0.1104-Staging-Debug.exe

Hi @naveens33!

Unfortunately we are not able to wildcard these paths for TestedApps. One solution would be to simply have them setup as 2 separate TestedApps, then have a single test that has a Run TestedApp step for each version, that can be enabled/disabled to launch the desired version. 

If any of the namemapping for your objects contain the version number of your app, we can also Wildcard (*) this data so that objects will still continue to be found regardless of the version running. 

Here are some docs that covers these topics.

I hope this helps!
