Binding variables to recorded modules called via user code : General Questions

[Pixi6s]

I created a User Code module that calls recording Modules

Code: Select all

        void ITestModule.Run()
        {
            int x = TestCase.Current.DataContext.CurrentRowIndex;
            if (x == 1)
            {
               SetupShipping.Start();
            }else{
             SetExistingShipping.Start();
            }
        }


Within SetupShipping I have several variables that I need to bind to a data source. Start doesn't take parameters and they no longer just appear in the data binding menu. How would I accomplish this?

Thanks

Hello support team,

Is this possible? I have to finish this test soon and I need to know if I am going down the wrong path using record modules asap.

Thanks

Hello,

Sometimes, for branches and special loops, it's necessary to start other modules from user code modules. Just be a aware that this way you are hiding things from the Test Suite view. And there is the problem to forward variables. A solution to the latter could be to manually create variables via Insert Module Variable in the editor's context menu and instead of using the string in the property you forward to the according variables in the called modules.

[TestVariable("A83ECAE2-3EB7-48B3-88BA-15AEC5AF4766")]
public string MyTestVariable
{
    get { return CalledRecording.Instance.MyTestVariable; }
    set { CalledRecording.Instance.MyTestVariable = value; }
}

We are currently working on an extension to the Test Suite to make this less necessary to manually call other modules.

This works great! Thanks
