    Action: DeleteFile

    Function: The action deletes a single file.

    Call: FileIO test driver

    Tab: Configuration

    Directory

    Fully qualified path of the directory where the file is located

    File

    Name of the file which is deleted

    If the file does not exist, then the action will be executed successfully.

    Tab: Parameters

    The parameters defined on the Parameters tab are used to exchange values between test script variables and parameters of test actions. Parameters can be used as placeholders on the Configuration tab. For this, the name of the parameter is set in braces in the configuration dialog. Example: {name}.

    Tip

    Variables defined globally in the script (with the prefix $GLOBALS.) can be used directly in the test action. It is not necessary to use input parameters for passing. Using output parameters is necessary for writing global variables.

    Input parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the test script variables are passed to the input parameters of the test action and can be used in the configuration of the test action.

    Output parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the output parameters of the test action are passed to the test script variables and can be used (for example, in other test actions).

    Name

    Name of the input/output parameter

    This name is defined in addition to the variable name to identify the origin of the parameter when it is passed to another script. During the test run, this name is displayed as the Outer name on the Variables (scope #<n>) tab in the Test progress window.

    Background: When a script A calls another script B, and its variable x passes y as a parameter to the script B, then the parameter y is the variable y from the point of view of script B.

    To see that this variable is recognized as variable x "outside" of script B, there is the Name column ("Outer name"). The variable y has the name x in the scope pf script B because it has been passed as variable x to the parameter y in the scope of the calling script A.
