We use global (server) variable for storing possible test scenarios which is shared among multiple configurations. We always have to update this list manually when a new scenario is created. I wonder if there is or could be a way to look up current list, similary as a property collection works.
Ex. read file on Continua server and store it in a variable
Hi Michal,
Continua doesn’t currently provide built-in actions, event handlers, or property collectors for reading variables directly from files.
However, it is possible to read values from a file and set a Continua variable via a FinalBuilder project (which includes specific actions for interacting with Continua). Alternatively, you can emit custom log messages (see Continua CI Custom Log Messages documentation) from a PowerShell script, batch file, or executable to populate variables during a build.
If you’re able to share a bit more detail about your use case - for example, the file format, whether you need the full contents or just part of it, and how the variable is being used - we can take a closer look at whether there’s scope to support this more directly.
