SOAtest: Extension Tool parameterize Datasource File Path

in SOAtest

Hi,

I have got simple jython script, written in Extension tool to refresh the Excel(xls) datasource, just by opening it and saving it to disk again:

from com.parasoft.api import *
from org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel import *
from java.io import *

DATASOURCENAME = "Vul_Tabel_DS"

fileIn="V:\TSC\Testautomatisering...PreSQL_v0.1.xls"
fileOut="V:\TSC\Testautomatisering...PreSQL_v0.1.xls"

def open_save_DS (input, context):
fin = FileInputStream(fileIn)
wb = HSSFWorkbook(fin)
#First close inputstream to prevent lock
fin.close()
#Open outputstream now
fout = FileOutputStream(fileOut)
#Write to output
wb.write(fout)
fout.close()

How can the entire Filepath to the datasource be parameterized within SOAtest?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel

    In a script you can reference a variable in various ways depending on the type of variable:
    context.getEnvironmentVariableValue("environmentVariableName")
    context.getValue("dataSourceName", "columnName")
    context.getValue("testSuiteVariableName")

    In an Excel Data Source editor you can reference variables as well. For example:
    ${soa_env:path_to_my_excel_file}
