You can define settings for workspaces in the Workspace Properties table. To access the table, select a workspace item in the Navigator:
The table has the following properties:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The workspace name. |
Description | The workspace description. |
File | The location of the workspace |
Project Root | Defines how ReadyAPI handles the paths to the projects in the workspace. Apply this setting if you use external files in your project. See the example below. |
If your workspace contains references to external resources, you must include them in your project.
For example, you have the testdata.xls Excel file, and you access it from the project. The D:\projects\ directory contains your workspace files, and the project directory is D:\projects\webservice\.
The absolute path to the file is D:\data\testdata.xls.
To use the file path relative to the project directory, use ${projectDir}\data. For example:
D:\projects\webservice\data\testdata.xls
To use the file path relative to the directory that contains the workspace file, use ${workspaceDir}\data. For example:
D:\projects\data\testdata.xls
