How to change Test Suite Description via Jenkins parameters

Post by Lyuba Boerma » Fri Jun 28, 2019 9:15 am

Hi)
Can i add/change Description of a Test suite via Jenkins parameters?
Is such parameter /variable exists for ranorex pluging ?
The reason why i need it - that we are running our tests on different customers installations, And i want to add Customers Name as a comment to a jenerated PDF report.
If i run it from my machine i always add it on a Description field.. But don't know how to do it via Jenkins

Option 2. I can also use for this a value of one of my Ranorex global parameters. But it need to be in a header of PDF report than.

What is possible?

Thanks)

Hi,

I'm afraid, there is no way to edit the test suite description via command line/Jenkins plugin parameters? It may not even be possible via code? I think your best hope is using Global parameter. For basic report customization options, check these links:

  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version
  • OS version
  • HW configuration

Hi Lyuba,

You simply need to pass the value from the global parameter to the created custom element.
TestSuite.Current.Parameters["MyGlobalVariable"];
Cheers,
