Passing different values to recording module

[marlonc]

Hi,

I have a recording module that accepts parameter. In one test case, I want the value to have A, and on other test case, I want the passed value to be B. However, when I bind the parameter, both instances are changed.

I intend to do the following
TC1
--SetValueRecording <<<bound variable A = "test"
TC2
--SetValueRecording <<bound variable B = "test2"

but what happens when I change TC2:
TC1
--SetValueRecording <<<bound variable A = "test2"
TC2
--SetValueRecording <<bound variable B = "test2"

Are there any ways I can achieve this?

Hi,

I don't quite understand what's the problem? You can either create a new parameter in each TC, each with its own value for respective TC. Or you can create a data connector for each TC, from which you can fill the recording module variable. I would strongly recommend to go through this chapter in Ranorex user guide:

Thanks. Im sorry but I may have posted the wrong scenario.
I have recording module that accepts a parameter. Within 1 test case, I want to pass different values for that module.

Code: Select all

TCVerifyForAutocomplete
   RecModuleEnterFields       "entryName"    << contains 15 steps that fills in other fields
   RecModuleDelete                                       << deletes the field values
   RecModuleEnterFields       "en"                  << should autocomplete
   ValidateEntry

When I open the data binding window, it is for the whole test case. How do I go around this to bind different values to RecModuleEnterFields.

Well SmarFolder does this for me allowing different values passed to two instances of that module in the same test case. Only doable with Ranorex 7. Problem solved!

Code: Select all

TCVerifyForAutocomplete
   SmartFolder
        RecModuleEnterFields       "entryName"    
   RecModuleDelete                                       
   SmartFolder
        RecModuleEnterFields       "en"             
        ValidateEntry

Actually, any version of Ranorex allows that as long as you either bind the variable to a different data entity, or nest more test cases (which is what you are doing with folders, they are just a new type of test container to go along with test cases).
