Change Script Directory Location

Hi all

Is it possible to change the location of the user script directory to something other than sahi/userdata/scripts ?
The sahi controller always seems to look here, when recording and playng back.
It would make the integration in our team enviroment easier if we could set this.
I didn't find any way of changing this for the controller.
In batch mode it's no problem, I can set the batches up to read from anywhere I want.

I'm using sahi v3, build 2010-11-03

Thanks in advance,

David

    Hi djw,

    Hi Jirka

    I tried your suggestion of changing the "scripts.dir" in the sahi.properties file.
    Then restarting the sahi proxy, and opened the controller again.

    The change has no effect on where the sahi controller looks for scripts.
    I suspect this property is used as default when running scripts in batch mode.

    I also found a "scripts.dir" property in the props.html file, changing this also makes no difference to the controllers behaviour.

    So I'm still looking for a way to change where the controller looks for scripts.

    Hi David,

    There are 2 properties files that Sahi uses. One is sahi/config/sahi.properties and the other is sahi/userdata/config/userdata.properties

    Sahi looks for a property in userdata.properties, and if not found, looks for it in sahi.properties.

    So, even though you changed sahi.properties, since scripts.dir is also mentioned in usedata.properties, it took the value from userdata.properties.

    Change scripts.dir in sahi/usedata/config/userdata.properties, and Sahi will pick it correctly.
