How to pass parameter to the test list for runwithnewresults

Eggplant Functional
1

Hi,

Normally we write script like this

Set TestList to { “test1”, “test 2”}
RunwithNewResults eachTest of TestList

but I want to add parameter for test1, how can I do this?

I try
1.
set TestList to { “test1 para”}
but eggplant fails to find script “test1 para”.
2. set test1 to “test1 para”
set TestList to { test1} same error as above.

Must I add a new script, just writes as “test1 para”, then use runwithnewresult to call this script?

Are there any other solution?
Thanks

Hello df4747–

RunWithNewResults takes a list as a parameter, unlike the run command which can take several strings or containers. So what you are going to want to do is place each test in a list with its parameters, like this:

put (("test1", "para1", "para2", "para3"), ("test2", "para4"), ("test3")) into testList

repeat with each test in testList
	runWithNewResults test
end repeat

This should get you what you’re looking for.

Hope this Helps!

Hi Allen,

Thanks for your reply. but it doesn’t work.
When I change as your code, still error:
unable to locate script named: ( test1, para1, para2,para3).
Any other idea?

Actually, RunWithNewResults takes the script name as the first parameter and subsequent parameters are passed to the script being called… So in the simplest form it would look like this:


RunWithNewResults "myscriptb", "param1", "param2"

If you need to pass a dynamic set of parameters you will need to build up a list and use the as parameters operator to pass them as shown here:

put "myscriptb" into myParams
insert "paramA" after myParams
insert "paramB" after myParams

RunWithNewResults myParams as parameters

Eggplant crashes, when I try this:

Runwithnewresults “script”,“testdata\image”

It sounds like whatever error occurred happened WITHIN your called script so at least we have the parameter passing working, can you confirm? Also, are you sure you don’t want your slash going the other way (if it’s an image path) “testdata/image”?

Please send that exception as a bug to support@… providing your script if possible.

I will check it more, and send to support if it happens again.
