The Network Suite functionality is deprecated. We don’t recommend using it for distributed testing. Consider using a CI/CD system for managing distributed tests. See Migrating Distributed Tests to CI/CD Systems for details. In case you need to run web tests on multiple environments in parallel, you can also try using your project’s Execution Plan. |
Description
A host’s CopyProjectToSlave method copies a test project from the master computer to this host. The project location on the master computer is specified by the host’s ProjectSourcePath property. The destination folder on the host is specified by the BasePath property.
Declaration
HostObj.CopyProjectToSlave()
| HostObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a Host object | |||
| Result | None | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Result Value
None.
Remarks
If the project to copy is not specified (that is, the host’s ProjectSourcePath property is blank), CopyProjectToSlave copies the project suite folder.
CopyProjectToSlave does not copy:
-
The project’s Log folder and its contents.
-
Unsaved changes in the project, for example, changes made to persistent project or project suite variables. To share values between the master and remote computers, use network suite variables.
Example
The following example adds a remote computer to a network suite (distributed test), copies a test project from the current computer to the remote computer and starts the network suite.
JavaScript, JScript
function CopyProjectToSlave()
{
// Create a new host
var Host = NetworkSuite.Hosts.AddNew();
// Specify the connection properties of the host
Host.Name = "NewHost";
Host.Address = "TEST-W764";
// ...
// Specify the base path and source path host properties
Host.ProjectSourcePath = "C:\\Work\\MyProjects\\";
Host.BasePath = "C:\\SlaveProjects\\";
// Copy the project from the master computer to a slave computer
Host.CopyProjectToSlave();
// ...
// Run the network suite
NetworkSuite.Run(true);
}
Python

# ...
# Specify the base path and source path host properties

C++Script, C#Script
