Use fixture result params outside fixture tables

[denisko]

Hi guys,

I'd like to be able to use the results from fixtures outside a fixture table, e.g.:

|script|echo fixture |
|$res= |echo|${=1+1=}|
|show  |echo|$res    |

!-!-!define myVar $res

In the last line the value of $res should be printed to the output, just like it is printed inside the fixture table.

Current results:

|script|echo fixture|
|$res<-[2]  |echo|2|
|show|echo|$res->[2]|2|

!define myVar $res

In the last line, I'd like $res to be replaced with 2.

Do you have any hints on how to implement this ?

You can't use fixture results in a !define because the !define is evaluated before the fixture is executed. The wiki page with all the wiki markup, like !define and the table cells are rendered into html, the html is then parsed by the test engine, either slim or fit and then fixtures are executed by the test engine and the resulting html is displayed.

Right, thanks for the explanation. Then I need to figure out a different solution.
