Execute tests from absolute path of a scenario file

[authorjapps]

Currently the Zerocode runner can execute a test from the Classpath. That's fine and we will retain this as this is given default to us.
See example:
https://github.com/authorjapps/zerocode/blob/master/http-testing-examples/src/test/java/org/jsmart/zerocode/testhelp/tests/helloworld/JustHelloWorldTest.java

@TargetEnv("github_host.properties")
@RunWith(ZeroCodeUnitRunner.class)
public class JustHelloWorldTest {

    @Test
    @Scenario("helloworld/hello_world_status_ok_assertions.json") <---------- picks from Classapth
    public void testGet() throws Exception {
    }

}

AC1:

But, we need a mechanism to make it flexible to run even if

• absolute path is provided to the scenario file

Example :

    @Test
    //  should pick from absolute path and run //
    @Scenario("/home/authorj/code/zerocode/http-testing-examples/src/test/resources/helloworld/hello_world_status_ok_assertions.json")
    public void testGet() throws Exception {
    }

This will give us flexibility help to run from a CI tool by any path.

Hi @authorjapps , I can see that even in the current implementation reading scenario file from absolute path is supported.

zerocode/core/src/main/java/org/jsmart/zerocode/core/utils/SmartUtils.java

Line 67 in 9659ccd

if (isValidAbsolutePath(scenarioFile)) {

I tested the same too. Is anything else expected here?

That's interesting, good spot @poseidontor ! 👍

Then we need a test-scenario I think in our test pack here in the "http-testing-examples" module here
or
anywhere(e.g. here) TBH to run it via the CI pipeline.

Just check(when you get chance), if it's possible to add or already there (before by chance) ?

@authorjapps there are test cases for this here

Yep, thanks for finding that @poseidontor ! Good spot once again. That's a unit test.

Is there any integration test?
I understand it may not be straightforward to write one, but please check if one already exists.

Otherwise, we'll need to add one to confirm it works in an integration scenario.

I am also thinking how we can achieve it. Probably the same way the unit test works out the abs path?

Once we figure out this, we can add a IT test and close this ticket.

[poseidontor]

Sure! @authorjapps I will try to figure out how we can have a IT test for this scenario

Hi @authorjapps, whenever you can time can you please check #726 and let me know if it passess the acceptance criteria. Also I am open to suggestion for any code improvement.
