Action: AddFile

Function: The action adds an attachment file to the test report.

Call: Test Reports test driver

Tab: Configuration

File name

Path of the file which is attached to the test report

Output Parameters

Output parameter where the File name is saved

Specified without quotation marks

Example: {InternalFileName}

The file is copied and the internal file name assigned to it is stored in this output parameter. The output parameter can be referenced in the AddResultInformation action by means of <a href=""> or <img src=""> tags.

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`.
