command line parameters and 8.2

[kathrin]

Hi there,

I am using Ranorex 8.2 option to run multiple suites at once (that used to be serveral projects before).

To define wich testcases has to be executed I use a global parameter "testset" by wich the testcases are checked/unchecked.
The testrun starts via batch "tests.exe /gp:testset='All'"

Unfortunately the command line parameter does not update the global parameter anymore.
Do I miss something for the new Version

Hi kathrin,

Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to your command line parameters question as I would be happy to help.

Please give the below a try and let me know if you continue having any issues:

Code: Select all

Syntax:
/param|pa:[global parameter name]=[value]

tests.exe /pa:testset=All

and if you need to specify the test suite:
tests.exe /ts:<Path_to_test_suite>.rxtst /pa:testset=All

Example: test.exe /ts:MyTestSuite2.rxtst /pa:testset=All
I did not need to specify a path since MyTestSuite2.rxtst resides in the dame directory

There is a quick reference that can be found within our user guide here:

I hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

thank you the solution works

But why did you change that anyway?
Now i have to change every call (ci/cd ect.) of "tests.exe" and that kind of sucks

Hi again,

I now ran into an corresponding problem.

When I try to start a testset with blanks the parameter gets cut like
/pa:testset=MUST HAVE -> MUST
/pa:testset='MUST HAVE' -> 'MUST

How do I fix that?

I normally put full double quotes rather than single quotes around my command-line parameters:

Code: Select all

/pa:testset="MUST HAVE"

I just checked the code base, because I cannot remember that we ever had a "gp" argument
As far as I can tell from the code, we did not change the command line arguments for setting parameters.

From which version did you upgrade from?
