[ptt-users] Stress Test data from input file

[Thieme.Geoff]

I'm using TestMaker 4.4. I created an xstest\test.py file that reads
input data from a file. My code works for running just test.py and
getting variable user data from userdata.tsv. Now I'm trying to use
xstest\master.py to create a stress test which will use a different row
of data from my input file for each test.

I tried a couple approaches but neithor worked. When I open the input
file as userdata in master.py, test.py is unable to access the userdata
variable to do a readline().

Any suggests on getting this to work? I found no example scripts which
get test data from input files.


Working code from test.py:
...
    def setUp( self ):
        ''' Add any needed set-up code here. '''

        # Remove header line from input file
        self.log( 1, "Using the userdata values :%s:" % (
userdata.readline() ) )
        
        self.log( 1, "test: setUp" )
        self.config()
        
    def runTest( self ):
        ''' Run the test '''
        self.log( 1, "test: runTest" )
        
        # Read data from input files
        self.log( 1, "Testing with:")
        
        # Get 3 tab seperated data values, ignore any extra values
listed on that line
        userid, passwd, billid = userdata.readline().rstrip().split(
'\t' , 2 )
        self.log( 1, "userid :%s:" % ( userid ) )
        self.log( 1, "passwd :%s:" % ( passwd ) )
        self.log( 1, "bill id :%s:" % ( billid ) )
...
    The settings below were found in the Advanced Options panel of the
Recorder.
    '''

    test = test( 1, 'console file ', 1,
'20.|300|301|302|303|304|307|401|403|408|41.', 'log.xml', 0, 1, 1, 1, 1,
'test', 1 )

    # Run test using userdata input file
    try:
 
userdata=open('S:\\d3a\\docs\\TestMakerStressTesting\\xstest\\userdata.t
sv', 'r')
      
      test.setUp()
      test.runTest()
      test.tearDown()
    finally:
      userdata.close()


    test.closelog()
    print "done"


Thanks for any help,
Geoff
