ImportToPath command (Import/Export tool)

Import a project item or test case to a TestArchitect project location identified by its TA path.

The Import/Export tool is not available in the TestArchitect packages for the Linux and macOS operating systems.

Synopsis

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar TAImportExportTool.jar --ImportToPath [--server<value>] [--port<value>] --uid<value> 
--pwd<value> --repoName<value> --projectName<value> --sourceFile<value> --destinationFolder<value> 
[--overwrite<true|false>] [--includePictureChecks<yes|no>]

• -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

  Encoding type of the command

• TAImportExportTool.jar

  An executable .jar file used to invoke the Import/Export tool.

  The file can be found at TA_INSTALL_DIR\binclient.

• –ImportToPath

  Invoke the import items function.

• –server <value>

  (Optional, default = localhost) Full hostname or IP address of the repository server hosting the repository into which the item is to be imported.

  注意: 
  If this argument is not defined, localhost is used as the default.

• –port <value>

  (Optional, default = 53400) Port number of the repository server.

  注意: 
  • If this argument is set to 0 or not defined, the default port number 53400 is used.
  • If port number of the source repository server has been changed from its TestArchitect default of 53400, ensure that the correct port number is specified.

• –uid <value>

  User name with which to log in to repository.

  注意: 
  If the user namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.

• –pwd <value>

  Password for the given user name.

• –repoName <value>

  Name of the target repository.

  注意: 
  If the repository namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks..

• –projectName <value>

  Name of the target TestArchitect project.

  注意: 
  If the project namecontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.

• –sourceFile <value>

  Path to file that is to be imported.

  注意: 
  • Network paths are also supported.
  • If the pathcontains any spaces, enclose it between a pair of double quotation marks.

• –destinationFolder <value>

  Location (TA path) of the project item root node (Tests, Data, etc.) or folder into which the item is to be imported.

  Value must start with a forward slash ( / ), and provide a full (non-case sensitive) TA path, starting with the root project item node (e.g., Tests, Data, etc.)

  For example: /Tests/Action-based Testing Basics/Data Driven Tests

  注意: 
  • The specified root node must match the type of project item being imported. (e.g., Data for data sets)
  • In the case of importing test cases, the path must end with the name of an existing test module.
  • In all but the case of importing test cases, a minimum allowable path consists of forward slash followed by the applicable root project item node.
  • If the destination path does not exist, it is generated automatically, with the exception of importation of test cases.

• –overwrite <true|false>

  (Optional, default = false) Specify whether the existing project item or test case, if any, should be overwritten.

  注意: 
  If this parameter is not specified, or its value is empty, its value defaults to false.

• –includePictureChecks <yes|no>

  (Optional, default = yes; applicable only to import of test module) Specifies whether the regular picture checks belonging to the source test module are to be included.

  注意: 
  • This parameter is only applicable for test modules. If the target item is not a test module, this parameter, if declared, is simply ignored.
  • Only a .zip file containing an exported test module can include that test module’s picture checks. Hence a value of yes for this parameter is only effectual when the -sourceFile parameter specifies a .zip file.

Example: Importing test modules including regular picture checks
