Hello, I am trying to add my test cases using the dynamic type instead of creating them manually, so I created a CSV file that has some data but I am not able to add my test cases to my test plan. I am getting this error:
What am I missing?
@k_wang How did you create your CSV file? do you have test case id and name in it?
I think your CSV file format is not correct. Have you created it based on the default template?
I didn’t use any template. I just uploaded my CSV file…what is the correct format?
@k_wang In order to use the Dynamic variable source option, the file should have a specific format including test case ID and test case name. Please follow these steps to set up a dynamic variables file.
- Open your test plan and remove your process in step1 and add it again.
- Go to step 2 and open the Variables Options drop-down and select Dynamic. A pop-up appears asking if you would like to use an existing file, or create a new one.
- Click “Create a new file”. A CSV file will be created with the process variable names as headers, existing default test case as first row and the current variable values. The file is named _<process_name>_dynamic_process_vars.csv and is saved to the …Automai\Manager\media\rft_dynamic_files<test name> directory in the machine where AppVerify is installed.
- Go to the directory and open the CSV file.
- Add your test cases by entering test case name, test case ID and values. (Make sure to keep the format.)
- Once you are done, save the file; go back to the Manager and open your test plan again. It will display all the new test cases which get loaded from the file.
TIP: You may also upload the file in a different location and update the variable file path. Just keep in mind that the file must be on the same machine where AppVerify is installed.
