[ptt-users] Stress Test data from input file

[Mark.Lutton at thomson.com]

Is the code to open the file in a different module?  Try making userdata an instance variable:
 
In master.py:
   test.userdata=open('S:\\d3a\\docs\\TestMakerStressTesting\\xstest\\userdata.tsv', 'r') 

in test.py:
  userid, passwd, billid = self.userdata.readline().rstrip().split( '\t' , 2 )

Subject: [ptt-users] Stress Test data from input file



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.tsv', 'r') 
      
      test.setUp() 
      test.runTest() 
      test.tearDown() 
    finally: 
      userdata.close() 


    test.closelog() 
    print "done" 


Thanks for any help,
Geoff
