RE: Regarding absolute path .

[venkates...@gmail.com]

Thanks for your response .
Even if we keep the document it script folder and when we move th script to other machine, path name will differ right ? Suppose in one system we keep script in C drive n in another system we keep in D drive . What we can do in this scenario ?

if you hardcode the path. just use the file name.

Why would you manually copy the scripts in different folders on different machines. All you need to do is have the scripts in the Controller machine. When you start the load test, your script is copied from the controller to all the mentioned Load generators.

 

So you wont run into any issues with the file path. Just make sure you are sending the file to the load generator machines in the controller settings.

will this document changes.. you will have seperate document for each run..

If you are not changing the document for each run. Try attaching the
doc to the script.

When a script is run on a load generator the current working directory
will be the script path. Note: the function getcwd returns the name of
the current working directory.
Don't bother to move files on the load generator, just add them to
your script. If necessary you can create a temporary file in the
current directory by code in your script.

If you use web_custom_request it is possible to upload a file that
does _not_ exist as a real file on the load generator. (The contents
may be a LR parameter.)

Hi Guys Thanks for your all valuable response ..

i used the below script to make it absolute path..

Filepath()

{

#define DIR_LEN 512

char original_dir[DIR_LEN];
char fullpath[1024], * filename = "DocumentToUpload.doc";

if (!getcwd(original_dir, DIR_LEN)) {

//lr_output_message ("getcwd error");

return -1;

}

if (chdir(original_dir)) {

// lr_output_message ("Cannot move back to %s", original_dir);

return -1;

}

else

// lr_output_message ("Moved back to %s", original_dir);

strcpy(fullpath, original_dir);

strcat(fullpath, "\\");

strcat(fullpath, filename);

// lr_output_message ("Full path of file is %s", fullpath);

lr_save_string(lr_eval_string(fullpath),"lrp_Filepath");

lr_output_message("Document Path is:%s",lr_eval_string("{lrp_Filepath}"));

}

What I meant was that you should NOT use the full (absolute) path --
it is unnecessary.
And
- the use 'chdir(original_dir)' is superfluous.
- it still hurts my eyes when people uses strcat, use lr_param_sprintf
or the good old sprintf.

So you function should be:

Filepath()
{
lr_save_string("DocumentToUpload.doc", "lrp_Filepath");
...


Cheers,
André
