How to access the content of a file in a test suite in a portable way
Hi all. I'm writing a number of acceptance tests where I need to compare whether the content of a text file is equals to another file. The comparision files are in a subdirectory of the acceptance test directory itself, therefore, once I know where my product is on the filesystem, I can access the test files from there. What is the accepted way to do know the directory of a product? Regards Marco -- Marco Bizzarri http://notenotturne.blogspot.com/ http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/
From within the product class you can do this:
from Globals import package_home class MyProduct(...): meta_type = '...' def do_something(self): print package_home(globals()) 2008/9/17 Marco Bizzarri <marco.bizzarri@gmail.com>:

Thanks, Peter; but that does not work inside a test case run as: python tests/testMyTestSuite.py I'm using at the moment: def product_prefix(self): return sys.modules['Products.MyProduct'].__path__[0] but I'm not sure if it is an horrible hack or now.
