How to run testpackage with external variants

Former Member — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:23:33 GMT

Hi,

I am getting error message as "Variants that Match Selection ECATTDEFAULT Cannot Be Found", while running test package as automatictest run using external variants.

I am using the external variants as the below format.

[VARIANT]	[DESCRIPTION]	HKONT	WRBTR	BLDAT	ACCNT
*	General Ledger Account	Amount in document currency	Document Date in Document
*ECATTDEFAULT
Var1	#501	#5000	#08.05.2013	KRISH

Note: but while i execute individual test configuration with external variants it passed successfully.

Please give me a solution on regarding this.

Thanks in advance

Kajini.

You are trying to use the variant ‘ecattdefault’ with your external values.

Ecattdefault is not a real variant, it is just displaying your default values from the eCATT script within the test configuration, it is also grayed out on the test configuration as it is just displaying your values from the eCATT script itself.

So you can’t use it with external values. You need to create a real variant on the test configuration and feed this variant with your values from the txt file.

Hi Kajini,

Please check your Test configuration before execution. Check whether the external variant option is set.

if yes, than you will not face this issue.

Best Regards,

- Download the variant from the test configuration which will be a .txt file

- convert the .txt file into a .xls file to make it easier to add variants or values

- update the excel and change the file type back to .txt

- copy the text file into the path mentioned in the path of the test configuration

- update the path to like the file to the file just copied

- In the variant tab check combo box for external variant

- execute the script

Hope it helps

Thanks,
