Global v Local DataTable

[Brian3]

Hey guys,

The application i am automating has a few thousand variables that i need to capture. Ive had space problems before when using the Global dataTable, so this time around when i make a checkpoint, im storing the output value in a local datasheet -
ie

Code:

variable = datatable.value("ColumnName", "ActionName")

so that depending on which action is running the output value goes to that actions dataTable.

The problem is when i create a new script and call these re-useable actions, the script fails saying that the dataTable cant be found.

Does anyone know where im going wrong?

Cheers,
Brian

Hey Brain,

The problem is the syntax you are following.

The syntax is :

Code:

datatable.value("Column Name","Sheet Name/Id")

not the action name.

Try out with SheetName/SheetId.

Let us know, if you still face this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Uday.

Hi Uday,

Unfortunately im still getting an error. When i run the script on it own its fine, but when i use some re-usable actions from this script in other scripts they fail because those scripts cant find the datasheet for these actions. Do you know if there is anything extra i should be adding to the above syntax if this particular action is being called from another seperate script?

Cheers,
Brian

My understanding is - There are two tests. a new script-test1 and a test having reusable actions -test2 and they have its own datatables.

at runtime try to import the datasheet of test2
