Data Range & New Lines
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2019 4:58 pm
Hello,
I use csv-files as datasource for several testcases. With some testcases, new data is needed, so a new row has to be created in the Data Source. Of course you can do this at the end of the table, but in order to keep the structure clean, I would like to insert a new row somewhere in the middle of the table. Now the problem comes:
If I got a table with ten rows, each line assigned to a testcase with the same number as the line in the csv-file (just exemplary) and insert a new line (lets say a new line #2), the Data Range don't change with it. Means:
Before I added the new row, each line was assigned correctly:
TC1 -> Line 1
TC2 -> Line 2
TC3 -> Line 3
After the insert:
TC1 -> Line 1
TC2 -> New Line 2 (which is now empty)
TC3 -> Old Line 2 (which is supposed to go with TC2, NOT TC3)
Did I miss an option which also correct the data range if a new line is added or does this feature not exist yet? If not I would suggest this so the data range would be more robust to changes in the csv-file.
