[ptt-users] distinguishing environment in which script is being run...

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Dominique: There is likely an API to determine the operating  
environment at runtime. But I don't remember it.

TestMaker had various methods you could call to find the path to the  
running script file and the status of the TestMaker console. These no  
longer exist.

Perhaps we should add an object that the test script can call:

/*
* TestEngine is a singleton to provide information to running tests
*
*/

package com.pushtotest.testmaker;

public interface TestEngine {

     /**
      * Returns the singleton TestEngine object
      */

     public TestEngine getTestEngine();

     /**
      * Returns true if this TestEngine is running on a TestNode
      */

     public boolean isTestNode();

     /**
      * Returns true if this TestEngine is running in the TestMaker  
console
      */

     public boolean isConsole();

}

What do you think?
