Integrating ATS with Windows File Explorer to add attachments - Critical element of testing a customer facing application

1

Hi team,

I am aware that ATS currently does not integrate with other tools outside of mendix. Are there any future plans to integrate it with the file explorer such that we can test functionality such as adding an attachment and uploading it using ATS.

Thanks

Hey Renita,

There are already some possibilities to upload some files in your application with ATS. ATS has the action ‘Set file manager’. With this action you can upload files. You have to add the MxName of the filemanager and you have to add a File Path. Which file path you can add is dependent on the Selenium host you are using.

With Browserstack you cann’t upload your own documents, but you can upload test documents, the file paths therefore can be found here: https://engineering.vokal.io/Web/Testing/Browserstack-files.md.html.

With SauceLabs you cann’t upload your own document or test documents. If you are using a local Selenium host/Docker both options are possible, but you have to add the documents yourself in the host.

Kind regards,

Myrthe
