Virtual Flash Drives Actions

Action with virtual flash drives are not available for Hyper-V

copyto

Copies a file or a directory from the Host to a virtual flash drive.

copyto <from> <to> [timeout timeout_time_spec]

Arguments:

• from- Type: string. Path to the file or directory on the Host. The path must exist.
• to - Type: string. Full destination path on the virtual flash drive.
• nocheck - Type: identifier with fixed value. The presence of this specifier disables the semantic checking of the file existence on the host. This way you can run tests with copyto actions even if the from file doesn't exist on the host at the moment of running. It is assumed that the file will be there at the actual moment of copyto execution.
• timeout_time_spec - Type: time interval or string. Timeout for the copying to complete. Default value: 10m. If the string type is used, the value inside the string must be convertible to a time interval. Inside the string param referencing is available. Default value may be changed with the TESTO_COPY_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT param. See here for more information.

You must specify the full destination path in the to argument. For example, if you need to copy the file /home/user/some_file.txt into the virtual machine with the final destination /path/on/vm/some_file.txt, you should call copyto like this: copyto /home/user/some_file.txt /path/on/vm/some_file.txt. Copying directories falls under the same rules.

Copying links is not allowed.

The flash drive must not be plugged in any virtual machine when calling this action.

You should remember that with the nocheck specifier the from files' integrity is not included in the test cache. Which means that changing the from files won't lead to the test cache invalidation.

copyfrom

Copies a file or a directory from a virtual flash drive to the Host.

copyfrom <from> <to> [timeout timeout_time_spec]

Arguments:

• from- Type: string. Path to the file or directory on the virtual flash drive. The path must exist.
• to - Type: string. Full destination path on the Host.
• timeout_time_spec - Type: time interval or string. Timeout for copying to complete. Default value: 10m. If the string type is used, the value inside the string must be convertible to a time interval. Inside the string param referencing is available. Default value may be changed with the TESTO_COPY_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT param. See here for more information.

You must specify the full destination path in the to argument (see copyto action notes).

Copying links is not allowed.

The flash drive must not be plugged in any virtual machine when calling this action.

abort

Abort the current test running with an error message. The test is considered failed.

abort <error_message>

Arguments:

• error_message - Type: string. Abort (error) message.

print

Prints a message to the Testo stdout.

print <message>

Arguments:

• message - Type: string. Message to print.

Macro call

Call the macro_name macro. The macro must be declared before the calling. The macro must consist of actions applicable to flash drives.
