Exit Condition

harsha_s — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:48:29 GMT

Hello Colleagues,

In my main script i refer to 3 different scripts .

1) Ref ( Script 1 ) -

if there are some unexpected things then i am asking the control to exit from this script .

2) Ref( Script 2)

3) Ref( Script 3) .

After control comes out of script 1 , i do not want it to execute Script 2 and Script 3.

because Script 2 and Script 3 Gets input from Script 1 and if Script 1 itself is failing no point in executing script 2,3.

Can you kindly help me as to how to tackle the issue ?.

regards

harsha

Hello harsha,

Create a boolean variable in each script which will return the status/run of the Script.

if the value is true then execute the next script,if it is false then skips the script anfd goto next.

Hope it helps..

Venky

Hello Harsha,

You can create one export variable in script one and set it to say X if it fails with error . Then in the main script where you have reffered this script you can check if the value of the flag is X then you can add one more exit here.

Hope it answers your question..

Thanks & Best regards,

Ajay

Hi Guys,

We could also handle this with the Error Behaviour in Start Options. Select " X Termination of Start Process " if you want to come out with the first error or select " No Termination, Continue with Next Script Command" . There are more options depending on ur usage.

Note: Please save your start options, and adhere to the same start options whenever u script or execute. Otherwise you would face isuses with scripts expecting different start options while doing a collective test run.
