_include($scriptPath)

Details

Includes the script at scriptPath in the current script.
_include is dynamically evaluated since Sahi Pro V5.0.

// Suppose the current script is in
// D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/ folder

// include lib.sah located in the current script's directory
// D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/lib.sah
_include("lib.sah"); // using relative path

// Include using full path
_include("D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/lib.sah"); // using absolute path

// Use of back and front slashes
_include("D:\sahi\userdata\scripts\demo\lib.sah"); // WRONG
_include("D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/lib.sah"); // CORRECT
_include("D:\\sahi\\userdata\\scripts\\demo\\lib.sah"); // CORRECT

// Include from a subfolder
// D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/common/lib.sah
_include("common/lib.sah");

// Include from a parent's sub folder
// D:/sahi/userdata/scripts/common/lib.sah
_include("../common/lib.sah");

// Using a variable
var $includePath = "../common/lib.sah";
_include($includePath);

_includeOnce($scriptPath)

Details

Similar to _include but _includeOnce only includes the script once even when called multiple times.

This is useful in a scenario where during development a single flow is broken
into multiple scripts and each is developed and tested independently and then
included all together into one script.

_includeOnce("lib.sah"); // includes lib.sah
_includeOnce("lib.sah"); // second call. Will do nothing.

// For more details on usage, look at _include

_resource($resourcePath)

Details

In a distributed run, only the participating scripts in the suite are zipped and sent over to the nodes.
Hence if your scripts refer to any resources like CSV files (through CSV APIs)
or Excel files (through Excel APIs) or images etc, they have to be explicitly included in your
scripts using the _resource API.

Please use relative path for resources so that they can work on all the nodes.

In summary, any resource that your script uses (other than scripts themselves), needs to be included through _resource APIs.


Some examples:

_resource("../excel/users.xlsx"); // Include excel file as resource.
var $data = _readExcelFile("../excel/users.xlsx");

_resource("snapshot_login_short.png");
_navigateTo("http://sahitest.com/demo/training");
_setValue(_textbox("user"), "test");
var $same = _compareImages("snapshot_login_short.png", "snapshot_login_short.png", 10);
_assert($same);
