Issue/Introduction
Modifying a Dataset file at design time.
Why Devtest does not update the step result when you modify the values of a dataset file at design time?
Steps to follow: ***************** 1. Create a xml file say for example: results.xml 2. In results.xml, write the below lines and save the xml: <myXMLValue>TEST1</myXMLValue> 3. In Workstation, add "Read a File(Disk,URL,or Classpath)" and browse to this file. 4. Go to the Filters section, add Parse Text from XML option and set the Tag as " myXMLValue" and Property as {{myXMLValue}} 5. Add Output Log Message step and add this text, test = {{myXMLValue}}
Run the script and check the value of displayed for test. it will give as test=TEST1
7. Now, go to results.xml, and modify myXMLValue tag value to TEST5 and save the xml. 8. Run the above script and see that the value of test=TEST1
my expectation is test=TEST5.
it works when I close the workstation and launch the workstation and run the script again..
the value of test=TEST5 is displayed.
Environment
All supported DevTest releases/
Cause
N/A
Resolution
Datasets/Assets are loaded when the test is loaded. Any changes made to the dataset, will not be shown unless saved and re-load the test case. This is the expected behavior in DevTest.
