Using IF-ELSE condition

[hari]

Hi ,

I wanted to use IF-ELSE condition in my script and I have given it as
mentioned below:

if window(''):
select_menu('Cashier Operations>>Shift Begin')
close()
else:
Item_Scan_Module.Item_Scan()

where Item_Scan_Module.Item_Scan() is a module I created.

However it is throwing the below mentioned error:

Syntax Error : " mismatched input else expecting DEDENT

Can you please help me to understand where I have gone wrong.

Thank you

First of all window() method *never* returns. It is used only to provide indentation to the test script. If Marathon doesn't find a window with the given name, an error will be thrown and the script terminates.

As far as the syntax error goes, please have a look at python documentation.

If it is OK with you, you can use ruby instead of Python for recording tests - in which case you don't need to worry too much about indentation.

Thanks and Regards

KD

The documentation is useless and inaccurate, as anyone who has looked
at the -html -xml options on the command line and then looked at the
source will testify.

Are you sure there is a "else:" function?

I have looked and I have been unable to find it!

Yup. Documentation needs update for 2.0 functionality. It also misses description of some core functionality - checklists, screenshots, semi manual tests etc. We are working on it and update should be available with next release. That said I don't say it is useless - the core functionality of Marathon is same for a long time.

'else:' is  a python keyword.
