Let me know about how to mavinize Folder Context in RCPTT!
FYI: I have created a folder context (my_folder_context.ctx referring to a remote folder). First I click "Apply" button after opening the .ctx file in RCPTT tool to copy the contents to AUT location than execute the test cases to get the test data.
But while automating the same I don't find any entry for *.ctx file in RCPTT-maven-plugin. For suites we have below:
<suites>
<suite>MyTestSuite</suite>
</suites>
...but the same I didn't find for *.ctx files or any way to refer the folder context from ECL script .
Yes the short answer is this is NOT possible as the foldercontext is obviously not a testcase. You can only add the test case inside test suit.And it does not make any sense to execute a foldercontext file which is not doing any thing and no result or report can be generated out of it.
By the way let me share few of my learning here:
1)Folder context can be used while recording time in rcptt but runtime it's of no use. Basically it's like a mapped directory for a remote location available inside your rcptt tool.
2)I had provided the test data location at runtime and the same I achieved through below: Go to RCPTT->Run configurations ->VM Arguments append -D"testdatalocation" (without double quote) and provide below in ECL script :
set-dialog-result Folder [substitute-variables "${system_property:testdatalocation}"]
or in your maven pom.xml file :
<vmArgs>
<vmArg>-Dtestdatalocation=D:\InputsForAutomation</vmArg>
</vmArgs>
