I think this question answered before. You can search archives. But I added this to wiki FAQ. I also give wiki text here.
Q. What I'd like to do, is to have a configuration file (eg. config.txt), which would have a number of key/value pairs, such as "UserName=user", which would be read by a test script to, for example, log into a page. A. You can use ruby file for this. i.e $user_name = 'atilla' $last_name = 'ozgur' save this as initialValues.rb then in your script you can require initialValues.rb classes and variables is ready for your use. Do not forget that these are global variables. Maybe a class and class variables would be more suitable for this. They will be more encapsulated in that way. class initialValues @@user_name = 'atilla' @@last_name = 'ozgur' end Note: A variable prefixed with two at signs is a class variable, accessible within both instance and class methods of the class. Then you can use them as. initialValues.user_name initialValues.last_name this way, related values will have their place. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
