Global Parameter in Program File : General Questions

[costamesakid]

Hello,

Is there anyway I can use a global parameter defined in my test case in my corresponding program.cs file for that test case?

For instance if I have global parameter 'repeats' set to a value of 10, is there any way I can set that global parameter to a variable defined in my program.cs file? Thanks

Sorry but this is not possible. Do you want to repeat the whole test suite or only a few recordings?

I want to be able to set the number of repeats for the entire test suite, per what test cases have been checked for execution. Thanks

We already have a future request in our bug tracking system. As I said currently it is not possible to repeat the whole test suite. I would suggest you to create a parent (of all your children test cases) test-case with an empty data-connector.
Another hack would be to use a for loop in the program.cs. But as I said this is a hack and not recommended by us.

Is there a way to bind a global parameter to a variable defined in a user code module? Currently it seems you can only bind global parameters to variables defined in the recording file?

Yes, after you created a test variable in the user code module, this works exactly the same as with variables in recordings. See following section in the Ranorex User Guide on how to create variables in a user code module:

Exactly what I needed. Works great! Thanks

Can't find the "Insert Module Variable" context menu entry in 3.1 - was it removed or am I missing some magic?

All the best,

Hi,

Do you have considered that you can only use this functionality (adding Module Variable) in UserCode Modules?
In the Recording files you have to add variables, which are basically the same as Module Variables.

my bad - I tried in a recording's user code .cs file
in a user code module the menu entry is in its place

Thank you!
