Configuring WPF Application Path

[catherine]

Hi There,

I've just installed the trial version and trying to record/playback a WPF script. The WPF application path contains the build version number which can change hourly in our Test environment. When I try to record/playback, I can only launch the application until a new version is built then of course the path name changes. Is there any way I can get around this within Test Studio and parametrize the application path name?

Hi Catherine,
    I've logged this as a Feature Request. You can trace its progress here:

Meanwhile here's a workaround you can use to implement this:

Let me know if you're having any problems getting this to work.

I have a similar question. We're new to Telerik Test Studio and we're developing regression tests for an existing WPF application in our production environment, but we want to run those regression tests in our stage environment as we make enhancements to our application. Does the workaround referenced in this forum post still apply or has a new feature been implemented? It doesn't look like the link to the feature request is still valid, while I'm not having any luck finding documentation concerning the proper way to run a WPF test against different environments (e.g., production or stage). Any help that can be provided will be appreciated.
