variables in selenium IDE - RC

[KobyliskyByk]

Hi,
I am using Selenium IDE test suite for my automation. For diferent
reasons i am using variables. Many variables are defined in one use
case and used in diferent use case, so i can use this module like
behavior. When i play test in selenium IDE, there is really no trouble
with that. All variables are considered global ... but when i try to
lunch same script using selenium RC it fails at the time the script
gets to use fist variable (definion of variable is ok). I am not sure
but i think, that RC considers variables as local to the test case.

Anyone can help me ?

Greetings,

I have been successfully using variables across my entire test suite.
This works in both Selenium IDE and RC.

Here is how:
I setup the user-extension.js for all my global parameters.
Specifically, put all the values into the storedVars array.
storedVars["url"] = "http://www.google.com";

If, I want the parameters to run in RC, I need to wrap these
declarations within a function.
I call that function ingredients.
Then, the first line of each test, I run the command to call my
function.
Now, all the parameters are loaded for run time.

The global store extension gets around this.

Hi,
      May I ask you a question about this?    When I run my test in RC,  I will get the following error "Unknown command: loadParameters"   which loadParameters is my user-extensioins.js function.  May I ask is my doLoadParameters function correct?

for example
user-extensions.js
================
Selenium.prototype.doLoadParameters = function()
{
storedVars["Login_url"] = "http://mail.abcefg.com";
storedVars["Login_Email"] = "Tes...@test.com";
storedVars["Login_Password"] = "TestPW";

retrun 0;
};   

Run RC command
=============
c:\SeleniumServer>java -jar c:\seleniumserver\selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar -userExtensions c:\seleniumserver\user-exten
sions.js -htmlsuite *firefox http://mail.abcefg.com C:\SeleniumServer\SeleniumIDE_Test_Suite_1.html C:\SeleniumServer\Scheduledresult.html

RC log
=====

info: Executing: |loadParameters |  |  |
error: Unknown command: 'loadParameters'
warn: currentTest.recordFailure: Unknown command: 'loadParameters'

Thank you for any help

If you can  rebuild selenium-server.jar with the your new user-extensions.js, it will recognize your custom functions.
I did this using Winzip. The steps followed are:

1) Downloaded the selenium-server.jar
2) Opened it using winzip and extracted the "user-extensions" file alone in it to my C drive. So now I have the user-extansions.js in my C:\core\scripts folder.
3) Edited user-extensions.js by adding some custom methods that I needed.
4) Now using Winzip again, added this modified user-extensions.js to the selenium-server.jar. For this,
-- Open selenium-server.jar using Winzip.
-- Use the "Add" button on the top bar of  Winzip
-- In the "Add" window, browse to C:\core\scripts\user-

extensions.js file
-- Make sure that the "Actions" choosen is "Add (and replace) Files" and "Save full path info" is checked in the "Folders" option.
-- This will replace the user-extensions.js in the selenium-server.jar with our modified user-extensions.js with same path information.
-- Close Winzip
5 ) Now the new selenium-server.jar is ready with your own user-extensions.
6) You can execute with usual RC syntax:

path/to/java -jar name-of-selenium-rc-jar -htmlSuite <browser> <startURL> <suiteFile> <resultFile>

I could do this successfully in my test environment and the version of Winzip I am using is Winzip 8.1

Regards,
Asha.
