Description

A tested application can be run in Simple mode. Use the WorkFolder property to obtain or set a working folder for the tested application that will be run in Simple mode. TestComplete only uses this setting if the Simple run mode is chosen for the application.

The WorkFolder property value is the same as the Working folder value specified for the application in the Tested Applications editor.

Declaration

TestedAppSimpleParamsObj.WorkFolder

Read-Write Property

String

TestedAppSimpleParamsObj

An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a TestedAppSimpleParams object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

TestedAppSimpleParams

Property Value

A string specifying the desired working folder.

Remarks

If you assign a value to this property, TestComplete will treat your project as modified. So, you will need to save or cancel changes when closing the project. The specified value will be displayed in the TestedApps editor.

To specify the property value, you can use project and project suite variables as well as the operating system’s environment variables.

The project or project suite variables must be of the string type. To refer to them, use the following syntax --

$(var_name)

--for example, “$(MyVar1)”.

Note:

When evaluating the value of the property, TestComplete first searches for the specified variable in the project variables, then in the project suite variables. Please keep this in mind if you have project and project suite variables with the same names.

To refer to environment variables, use the following syntax --

%var_name%

-- for example, %Path%.

Note that variables can refer to each other, for instance, a project variable may include a reference to an environment variable. TestComplete will recursively analyze the variables and form the resulting value that does not contain variable names.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to modify the tested application’s parameters in script:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{

  var TestApp, Params, SimpleParams;
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items("SampleApp");
  // Obtains the tested application's parameters
  Params = TestApp.Params;
  // Obtains the parameters of the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams = Params.SimpleParams;

  // Modifies the parameters of the Simple run mode:
  // Specifies a command-line argument for the application
  SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "NotOpenApp";
  // Specifies a working folder for the tested application
  SimpleParams.WorkFolder = "D:\\Work Folder";
  // Applies the modified parameters and activates the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams.Activate();
  // Launches the tested application
  TestApp.Run();

}

Python

def Test():
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items["SampleApp"]
  # Obtains the tested application's parameters 
  Params = TestApp.Params
  # Obtains the parameters of the Simple run mode 
  SimpleParams = Params.SimpleParams
  # Modifies the parameters of the Simple run mode: 
  # Specifies a command-line argument for the application 
  SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "NotOpenApp"
  # Specifies a working folder for the tested application 
  SimpleParams.WorkFolder = "D:\\Work Folder"
  # Applies the modified parameters and activates the Simple run mode 
  SimpleParams.Activate()
  # Launches the tested application 
  TestApp.Run()

VBScript

Sub Test

  Dim TestApp, Params, SimpleParams
  Set TestApp = TestedApps.Items("SampleApp")
  ' Obtains the tested application's parameters
  Set Params = TestApp.Params
  ' Obtains the parameters of the Simple run mode
  Set SimpleParams = Params.SimpleParams

  ' Modifies the parameters of the Simple run mode:
  ' Specifies a command-line argument for the application
  SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "NotOpenApp"
  ' Specifies a working folder for the tested application
  SimpleParams.WorkFolder = "D:\Work Folder"

  SimpleParams.Activate
  ' Launches the tested application
  TestApp.Run

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var TestApp, Params, SimpleParams;
begin

  TestApp := TestedApps.Items('SampleApp');
  // Obtains the tested application's parameters
  Params := TestApp.Params;
  // Obtains the parameters of the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams := Params.SimpleParams;

  // Modifies the parameters of the Simple run mode:
  // Specifies a command-line argument for the application
  SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters := 'NotOpenApp';
  // Specifies a working folder for the tested application
  SimpleParams.WorkFolder := 'D:\Work Folder';
  // Applies the modified parameters and activates the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams.Activate;
  // Launches the tested application
  TestApp.Run;

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{

  var TestApp, Params, SimpleParams;
  TestApp = TestedApps["Items"]("SampleApp");
  // Obtains the tested application's parameters
  Params = TestApp["Params"];
  // Obtains the parameters of the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams = Params["SimpleParams"];

  // Modifies the parameters of the Simple run mode:
  // Specifies a command-line argument for the application
  SimpleParams["CommandLineParameters"] = "NotOpenApp";
  // Specifies a working folder for the tested application
  SimpleParams["WorkFolder"] = "D:\\Work Folder";
  // Applies the modified parameters and activates the Simple run mode
  SimpleParams["Activate"]();
  // Launches the tested application
  TestApp["Run"]();
