When recording a test in Architect, you can Download files from your test site and Upload files from your computer to your test site. However, when your test executes, it can't access your computer files. Therefore, for successful File Upload actions, you must attach your file to the Upload Action.
The file can be attached by uploading your specific file to the Action, or by referring to a File Download Action earlier in your test.
We recommend attaching your file via the Actions Tab in the Test Detail Page before executing your test. Functionize will fail the Action if executed prior to attaching the file as seen here:
File Download Action
Download Actions will capture the file being downloaded from your site. This can be used as the source for a File Upload Action later in your test.
- Before executing your test, the Download Action will not display the file as actively attached.
- Once you execute the test case, the Download Action will have the file attached which can be used in subsequent Actions.
