CLA with python scripting
Hi
I am using the Command Line adapter with python scripts. I cannot seem to pass execution variable to this python script. There are examples that state that I need to define the a variable as "$qm_userName" ,
This does not seem to work in a python script. Please advise on how I need to define a variable in a python script so that I can pass execution variables from a Jazz test case level.
Thanks,
Leesen

These are passed to the script as environment variables
Something like this should work: import os name = os.environ("qm_userName") etc Comments Hi David
So you say this has to be done in the .py script itself? and not in the batch file that we execute from RQM? The article https://jazz.net/library/article/809 talks about a batch script and gives the example : if [ -z "$qm_userName" ].
Will this variable need to defined in the batch script also?
Thanks,
Leesen

Well you don't have to have a batch file. If your python script is sophisticated enough you can directly invoke it instead of a wrapper script. Anything you can type as a single command for the command prompt can be a CLA script. I don't know about windows but Unix like operating systems would pass the environment from the invoking shell script to the python script as well. Try it - it is very easy to test - have python print one of your passed variables. If you do it as a CLA script the output will be captured in the stdout file that gets attached to the execution result.
