Use of project persistent variables as common variable across multiple test scripts.

[Azeddin_Margani]

Hi, 

Could someone assist with my following question, 

i need to use project persistent variable so that it can be used across multiple test scripts' execution. 

1. The variable is a container or controler which i will need to use "findChild" function to access other objects.

2. Then, in the actual script, i will write something like.

    var Crl = project.variables.Controler;

    var button1 = Crl.findChild ("Text", "Basket", 1000);  //in this case, the "findChild" function is not responding or couldn't be used to find button1 ?

The reason of having the "Controler" defined in the project variables is that because it keeps changing across all of the test scripts - and thought is better to have it defined in one place as project persistent or global variable. 

Can this be done?

Many Thanks, 

A.M.

Yes it can be done. Here's some information on how the different variables are used:
