Using a variable in the code is not working the same as putting in the exact webpage
I have an input file that holds all the data I need for my tests. This allows the user to update as needed and still be able to run the tests. I also want to be able to use this file to select the environment to run the tests. Since it is a webpage, I figured I could just replace the address with the variable and it would work the same. I am not finding this to be the case. The first problem I am running into is that it isn't recognizing the .Wait functionality that I absolutely need.
These fail
var testenvironment = getTestCase("environment").Entered;
testenvironment = "Aliases.browser." + testenvironment;
testenvironment.Wait(10000);
var testenvironment = getTestCase("environment").Entered;
Aliases.browser.testenvironment.Wait(10000);
But this works
Aliases.browser.NameMappedWebPageCom.Wait(10000);
I don't understand why it fails. If I can't get this simple statement to work, I don't want to waste my time changing all of my scripts, but being able to just feed in the environment would be fantastic
Thanks
What you have in the testenvironment variable is a string and you need it to be an object.
In vbscript I would use
set testenvironment = "Aliases.browser." + testenvironment
or maybe
testenvironment = eval("Aliases.browser." + testenvironment)
