Reading Variable value during recording fails test

Post by vnet » Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:35 pm

I have recorded a couple of tests which runs fine but when I try to replace values(like filename etc.) with variable names test fails. I am making sure that I am assigning the variable to the xpath also. I am kinda puzzle since if I dont use variable name, test stores the location of mouse click which is a hit or miss on a diff computer. I am struggling with this for few days now :roll: I am sure the fix is trivial, any help is appreciated, thanks in advance 8)

Hi,

It would be very helpful if you would send us some screenshots (e.g. of the recording with and without variables).
Also a snapshot of the items you have trouble with would be of help.
I am kinda puzzle since if I don't use variable name, test stores the location of mouse click which is a hit or miss on a diff computer.
Is this the requested behavior?

Maybe you can explain the problem in more detail.

For some general information about data driven testing have a look at Lesson 3: Data-Driven Testing.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the reply. My bad that I was replacing Mouse click location with the variable name.
