Description

Use the GetRelativePath method to convert the fully qualified path specified by the AbsoluteFileName parameter to a relative path calculated against the folder specified by the CurrentFolder parameter.

Declaration

aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(CurrentFolder, AbsoluteFileName)

CurrentFolder	[in]	Required	String
AbsoluteFileName	[in]	Required	String
Result	String

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

aqFileSystem

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

CurrentFolder

Specifies the fully qualified name of the folder to which the resulting path name should be relative.

The Path parameter may or may not include a trailing backslash (\). You can add a trailing backslash to or remove it from the path by using the IncludeTrailingBackSlash or ExcludeTrailingBackSlash method.

AbsoluteFileName

Specifies the absolute path (either to a file or to a folder) that should be transformed to a relative path.

Result Value

A string that holds the path to the file or folder specified by the AbsoluteFileName parameter relative to CurrentFolder.

Example

The code below specifies the current folder and the fully qualified name of a file, obtains the file's path which is relative to the current folder, and posts this path to the test log.

JavaScript

function GetRelativePathExample1()
{

  // Specify the fully qualified file name
  let sFileName = "C:\\Folder1\\FileName.txt";

  // Specify the current folder
  let sCurrentFolder = "C:\\Folder2\\";

  // Get the file's relative path
  let sRelPath = aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName);

  // Post the relative path to the test log
  Log.Message(sRelPath);
}

JScript

function GetRelativePathExample1()
{

  // Specify the fully qualified file name
  var sFileName = "C:\\Folder1\\FileName.txt";

  // Specify the current folder
  var sCurrentFolder = "C:\\Folder2\\";

  // Get the file's relative path
  var sRelPath = aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName);

  // Post the relative path to the test log
  Log.Message(sRelPath);
}

Python

def GetRelativePathExample1():
  # Specify the fully qualified file name
  sFileName = "C:\\Folder1\\FileName.txt"

  # Specify the current folder
  sCurrentFolder = "C:\\Folder2\\"

  # Get the file's relative path
  sRelPath = aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName)

  # Post the relative path to the test log
  Log.Message(sRelPath)

VBScript

Sub GetRelativePathExample1()
  ' Specify the fully qualified file name
  sFileName = "C:\Folder1\FileName.txt"

  ' Specify the current folder
  sCurrentFolder = "C:\Folder2\"

  ' Get the file's relative path
  sRelPath = aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName)

  ' Post the relative path to the test log
  Log.Message(sRelPath)
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure GetRelativePathExample1();
var sFileName, sCurrentFolder, sRelPath;
begin
  // Specify the fully qualified file name
  sFileName := 'C:\Folder1\FileName.txt';

  // Specify the current folder
  sCurrentFolder := 'C:\Folder2\';

  // Get the file's relative path
  sRelPath := aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName);

  // Post the relative path to the test log
  Log.Message(sRelPath);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function GetRelativePathExample1()
{

  // Specify the fully qualified file name
  var sFileName = "C:\\Folder1\\FileName.txt";

  // Specify the current folder
  var sCurrentFolder = "C:\\Folder2\\";

  // Get the file's relative path
  var sRelPath = aqFileSystem["GetRelativePath"](sCurrentFolder, sFileName);

  // Post the relative path to the test log
  Log["Message"](sRelPath);
}

The code below gets the project’s current folder and the fully qualified name of the Notepad executable file, gets the executable file name relative to the project’s folder, and uses that path to add the Notepad to the list of tested applications.

For this routine to run, you project must have the TestedApps collection.

JavaScript

// For this routine to run, you project must have the TestedApps collection

  // Specify the current folder
  let sCurrentFolder = Project.Path + "TestedApps";

  // Get the file's relative path
  let sRelPath = aqFileSystem.GetRelativePath(sCurrentFolder, sFileName);

  // Add the Notepad to the list of tested applications by using its relative path
  TestedApps.Add(sRelPath);
