Hi,
we have this test.sah:
var $qaEnv = "DEFAULT";
_set($qaEnv,_getGlobal("qaEnv"));
_log($qaEnv);
...
and we are trying to set qaEnv global variable (before running a test.sah) by this URL:
localhost:9999|_s_|dyn|SessionState_setVar?name=qaEnv&value=DEV&isglobal=1&sahisid=2010_09_13__12_46_51__14874046
but when we execute test.sah by this URL:
localhost:9999|_s_|dyn|Suite_start?suite=scripts/test.sah&base=google.com&browser=C:\Program%20Files\Internet%20Explorer\iexplore.exe&threads=3&html=logs/playback&browserProcessName=iexplore.exe&browserOption=-nomerge&sahisid=2010_09_13__12_46_51__14874046
we get this log:
Starting script
_sahi.setServerVar('\$qaEnv', _getGlobal("qaEnv")); at 13.9.2010 15:49:56
null at 13.9.2010 15:49:57
_log(null); at 13.9.2010 15:49:57
Stopping script
So our question is:
Why _getGlobal("qaEnv") returns null?
Is something wrong with our SessionState_setVar URL?
How can we pass a variable to sah/suite this way?
Can anybody please help us with this?
Thanks
Steve

I will have to reproduce and check why this is happening.
We are thinking of adding an "extraInfo" parameter to Suite_start where you can pass custom information. Would that help you?

thanks for your replay - yes extraInfo parameter to Suite_start will be nice finall solution.
But now we don't have an idea of a workarround, so if you or anybody know one - we really need it.
Thanks
Steve
P.S.: Hm, but SessionState_setVar should work, so I am really interesting to your check.
Once more thanks for your ministry.
anything new or any tips please ?
Anybody have experiences with running sah/suite by SAHI proxy URL (not by *.bat)?
Thanks a lot
Steve
can you reproduce this or is there a SAHI release with extraInfo implemented ?
Thanks for your response.
