Axe Test Automation Platform

Hi,
I am trying to use a custom function that will save out a value to a .xml file.

I have debugged the function outside of Axe and it works fine, but when I come to use it within Axe I get the following error:
'Cannot map action'save.xml("users.xml","TC_1","userid")' (object='Existing') (class='HTML')'.

I have the following entry in the LocalRobotActionMap:
action    command
save.xml  saveToXML("%DATADIR%","%PARAM1%","%PARAM2%","%PARAM3%",value)

The class is left blank as we want to use it to apply to all classes.

With the subtest I have in the action column for the object I am testing:

get;save.xml("users.xml", "TC_1", "userid")

In theory, this would get the 'userid' value through the get action and save to the appropriate XML file in the data folder.

What am i doing wrong?

In answer to your query, when mapping actions that require parameters the parameters themselves need to be explicitly added to the action column in the action map (pg.11 - Technicians Guide). In this case the action map would read something like:

action                          command
save.xml(file,testid,key)      saveToXML("%DATADIR%","%PARAM1%","%PARAM2%","%PARAM3%",value)

The parameter names specified are for your reference only and can be anything of your choosing.

Hope this helps,
