Setting and running a main script

You can set the main script for the workspace to quickly run a frequently used script or a script used to run a complete test suite.

For example, if a workspace contains multiple scripts for individual tests and you create a script that runs all related scripts as a test suite, you can set the test suite script as the main script to run the entire suite when the individual scripts are saved in the workspace and ready to run.

After the main script is set, you can run or debug it without opening it. This eliminates the need to switch to the main script if you are working with a called script or another file in the Script pane.

• To set a script as the main script for a workspace, open it and choose Script > Set as Main Script. You can also right-click the script in the Workspace pane and choose Set as Main Script. The main script name is displayed in bold in the Workspace pane.
• To run the main script, choose Script > Run Main Script. See Running scripts for information about running scripts.
• To debug the main script, choose Debug > Debug Main Script. See Running scripts in debug mode for information about debugging scripts.
