File Writes in DAI

Hello,

What path (by default) does DAI write to when saving movies or screen captures where a path has not been included in the code? To me, it appears as if it tries to write to the machine where I have functional installed.

I use a separate logon for my SUT so I would expect it to write to SUTUsername\Users\Documents but it seems to still want to write to the location where functional is installed. Even if I explicitly try to include the path for my SUT, I get an error saying something to the effect of location doesn’t exist. I have permissions in that path and I am assuming if it were a permissions issue that I would receive a different error message.

Is there a support document that outlines this process?

Thanks

DAI always considers the machine where the corresponding run agent is running.

You can always use the temp or special folders to write something:

By default, DAI saves movies and screen captures to the Eggplant Functional Suites folder (typically in the Suite’s Results directory). If you don’t specify a path, it writes to the machine where Eggplant Functional is installed. To use a custom location on your SUT, the directory must already exist and be accessible to the SUT account—otherwise, DAI will fall back to the default suite path and throw errors.

I agreed with john If you don’t specify a path, it writes to the machine where Eggplant Functional is installed. To use a custom location on your SUT, the directory must already exist and be accessible to the SUT account otherwise, DAI will fall back to the default suite path and throw errors.
