Hi,

 

I have the challenge in a ATF test case do add an attachment to a field in a form. The attachment I managed to add the attachment with the test step "Add Attachments to Form". But I do not know with which test step, I can set it in a field. 

 

Regards

Hi @YakupT 

 

This is a very tricky one since there is an option on adding attachment on a form but not on field.

You have to use Server side script step to create an attachment and then set the field value with sys_id of that attachment.

One more way you can try is you can create custom atf step and define a new step like "Attach file to record"

Internally that step uses GlideSysAttach,emt API.

You can use it in multiple tests.

Hi Shaqeel,

 

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I tried the Step "Add Attachments to Form" and selected the file(s) to attach.  I tried 2 files to attach:  1 is a Word document file; the other 1 is a .PNG file containg a sample screenshot.

Both of them generates the error "Invalid table" during test execution.

 

Thanks.
