Path to project directory

Mayra · Post by **Mayra** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 11:41 pm

Hi,
I have been looking in the API for a current project directory but I can not find something like that.
Where can I look?
Thanks

Hi Mayra,

Unfortunately there is no direct method to get the path of the project folder.

There is the possibility to use this little workaround:

Code: Select all

string path = Ranorex.Core.Testing.TestSuite.WorkingDirectory; //Returns the path to the Bin/Debug Folder of your project
string parentpath = Directory.GetParent(path).ToString(); //returns the path to the Bin/ Folder of your project
string grandparentpath = Directory.GetParent(parentpath).ToString(); //Returns the Parentfolder of your Bin/ Folder
            
Report.Info("Path", path);
Report.Info("ParentPath", parentpath);
Report.Info("GrandParentPath", grandparentpath);

The Directory Class can be found in the System.IO Namespace.

Kind regards,

Markus (S)

Hi,

I've tried above approach in Ranorex 5.4.4 (in a UserCode.cs) but

Code: Select all

Ranorex.Core.Testing.TestSuite.WorkingDirectory

is NULL

Could you please advise?

Thanks,
Mau.

Hi maulemon,

Usually, this happens when running only the module itself. In general you have to run your UserCode Module as part of a Test Suite in order to get the working directory correctly.

Hi Arunlal,

As mentioned in Manuel's post (post before yours), you must run entire "test suite" and not just the standalone recording/code module containing this code! The method TestSuite.WorkingDirectory is TestSuite related so you must run entire test suite.

HI Odklizec,

Sorry, yeah i have ran my entire test suite only, but even am facing the same Error as NULL.

Did i made any mistake in this.

My scenario is, From an web application i have to click the browse button and i have to upload a document from the path where i have stored my doc.

Could you please help on this.

Regards,
Arunlal

Hello Arunlal,

Would you mind sending an e-mail to [email protected]. We can schedule a remote session in order to analyze the issue in more detail on your machine directly. This would be easier because we can see how exactly your test looks like.

Regards,
Bernhard

Hello Arunal,

Please try the following:

Code: Select all

 var projectDirectory =   System.IO.Directory.GetParent(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()).Parent.FullName;

Robert
