[ptt-users] Stress Test data from input file

[Thieme.Geoff]

I would like each agent to get a unique data row from my input file. If
I made changes in Properties.py, it don't think this would be possible.
 
Alternatively, each agent could open the input file and loop though it
using a unique data row for each test. If I added
userdata=open('S:\\d3a\\docs\\TestMakerStressTesting\\xstest\\userdata.t
sv', 'r')
in the Properties.py file, would my test.py script be able to see the
userdata variable and get a new row for each test?

I may be misunderstanding what you mean by "When I open the input file
as userdata in master.py". You should not need to change master.py.
Properties.py should load your test.py. Master.py knows to look for
properties.py.

	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
