how to loop all recordings : Automation API

[Liam]

beginner to programming, so maybe a stupid question, but...

I am organizing my testing cases this way:

toRanorex.png (5.1 KiB) Viewed 235 times

Considering that more and more recordings will be added to the "cases" folder, is there some method I can use in Program.cs to auto-loop and run all existing recordings in that folder?
For now after a new recording is added, I have to manually add something like: "recording_x.Start(); ", and this is making the Program.cs longer and longer...

thanks in advance

P.S. maybe my organization of testing cases is not good... could someone be nice to recommend a good way to organize the testing cases?

Hi Liam

Try this -

Add
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection

Dim files As string()
files = directory.GetFiles(application.StartupPath & "\..\..")
For Each item As String In files
Dim name as String = path.GetFileName(item)
If right(name,5) = "rxrec" Then
Dim t As Type
Dim m as Reflection.MethodInfo
Dim a as Reflection.Assembly = reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
For Each t In a.GetTypes
If t.Name = left(name,name.Length-6) Then
For Each m In t.GetMethods
If m.Name = "Start" Then
Dim g as New object
m.Invoke(g,nothing)
End If
Next
End If
Next
End If
Next

Let me know if it works for you!

Thanks

Hi Scott,

Thank you very much for your help! I read your sample and converted it to C# (learning this language ) -- it's working pretty good!

Cheers!
