Execute tests from absolute path of a scenario file #722
Description
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.

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) ?
poseidontor commentedon Aug 20, 2025
@authorjapps there are test cases for this here
authorjapps commentedon Aug 20, 2025
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.

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.
