Proper way to use variable with slashes in RQM Execution Tool


Kevin Murphy (9621317) | asked Jun 16 '15, 2:07 p.m.
I've got an RQM test script that requires a Windows-formatted network path as a parameter. My initial thought was this:

RQMExecutionTool.jar -variables=path:\\network\path\to\folder

This works somewhat, but I've found that my script doesn't understand situations where there a folder is called \\path\new\newfolder (due to the \n). So I try:

RQMExecutionTool.jar -variables="path:'\\network\path\to\folder'"

and this does not work. It causes a 500 error.

Then I try this:
RQMExecutionTool.jar -variables=path:\\\\network\\path\\to\\folder

This, too, does not work.

What's strange is that this DOES work:

RQMExecutionTool.jar -variables=path:\\folder

But this does NOT:

RQMExecutionTool.jar -variables=path:\\to\\folder

Does anyone have any idea of how I can approach this?

Use "/" instead of "\"

Thank you for the suggestion Subhajit. I'll try it, but I don't think it's going to work in this situation, as the target script is not a command-line script but it's going to an adapter from a 3rd party. If the 3rd party's windows only client can't or won't translate the "/" to "\", then this won't work.
