Running a module from another module

[Saf2]

Hello,

I need to run a module from another module.

Code: Select all

ITestModule module = new my_module();
 TestModuleRunner.Run(module);

The code works, but the module variables of my_module are empty. How do I pass parameters to the module so that it initialises its module variables?

Hi,

Calling one module from another is definitely not recommended approach. If for nothing else a module loaded outside the TestSuite is not connected to its parameters. Therefore, it's somehow complicated to pass the parameters to/from such module. Additionally, it makes the solution "unreadable" and hard to debug. Why you don't simply add the module to the test suite, enclose it in Smart Folder and make the Smart Folder conditional? It's way better option than calling module from another module

If you still insist on using this approach, then check this topic:

I need to run the module in the middle of a test, that's why I don't think your solution is ideal. The two modules are in the same test suite though, does that make a difference?
