Object Repository

[mv8167]

I created a test script and now how copied part of the old test script into a new script. Now I need to be able to use tthe Object Repository (OR) from the original test script.

In my old script, I went to Resources -> OR-Manager and Saved my OR.tsr file in MyOR directory.

Then in my new script, I wen to Resources -> OR-Manager to Open my OR.tst file, but still my scrit says no OR found.

Next I went to Resources -> Associated Rep and I added my OR.tsr, but still no luck.

How do I save and reuse my originally created OR?
Is there a way, at the opening of my scripts to tell QTP which OR's to use?

HI,

To tell QTP which OR's to use, we need to associate the repository to the script. We can add multiple repositories to a script & vice versa.

What is the cose I would add to select which ORs I would want to use? Can I add this directly into my script?
Or, must I use QTPs menu's to add each OR as needed?

thx

you should be able to use OR.tsr in new script. you have two options:
1. open old OR in object repository manager and copy all the objects and then paste them into new OR
2. associate old OR to new script

Thx!

So I guess I can not associate an object repository to a script with a call to a OR.tsr. In #2, how do I associate the OR.tsr to a different script?

In ur new script can u plz try this?

Code:

strRepPath = <path of OR>   ("c:\vIns\OR.tsr")
        RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll()
        RepositoriesCollection.Add(strRepPath)

vIns,

Does the statement "RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll()" remove the currently loaded OR and "RepositoriesCollection.Add(strRepPath)" adds the one with my OR back in? Great!

I will try hopefully soon. I just am having issues building the OR with Navigate & Learn (F6).

vIns,

I added your code:

Code:

strRepPath = P:\QTP Tests\ObjectRepository\RepositoryCTE.tsr
RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll()
RepositoriesCollection.Add(strRepPath)

but I receive an RunError message box:
The test run cannot continue due to a syntax error.
Expected statement
Line (1):

Code:

"strRepPath = P:\QTP Tests\ObjectRepository\RepositoryCTE.tsr

[vIns]

Try this ma'am

Code:

strRepPath = "P:\QTP Tests\ObjectRepository\RepositoryCTE.tsr"
RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll()
RepositoriesCollection.Add(strRepPath)

Double-Quotes, I always forget these. ;-), thaxxx vIns
