Start URL question

jonyxy777

Hi,

If at the start of every script there's a command like this: _navigateTo(startURL);, could the start URL be done away with?

Thank you.

Hi jonyxy,
_navigateTo specifies what URL your scripts start with. Why do you need to remove that API?

Regards.

Sorry I was unclear in my expression of the issue.

Whenever you run a script, you need to specify a start URL. However, if every script begins with a _navigateTo(startURL), then do I still need to specify it?

Hi

no, you don't need to specify a start URL, whereas I always use sahi.example.com/_s_/dyn/Driver_initialized as default startUrl.

My suites always start with a configuration script which logs a few things like date, target, name etc and sets some globals

atSuiteStart.sah:

_setGlobal(startUrl, value)

all nextScripts.sah:

if _getGlobal(startUrl) not null
  navigate to startUrl
else
  default starturl

this way you can set the startUrl per suite while haveing a default Url for single script runs...
