 Divert

Divert

Syntax

void divert (string actionName)

Description

Directs a call to a user-scripted action (a harness action), to the method/function that implements the action.

Parameters

• actionName

  Name of the user-scripted action.

Return Value

There are no returned values for this function.

Notes

• This function is currently supported only by the Python and Java harnesses.

Example

The following examples direct calls to user-scripted action hello world to its function implementation, action_helloWorld.

• For Python harness:

  # map a user-scripted action to its function
  def Divert(actionName):
      result = True
      if actionName == "hello world":
          action_helloWorld()
  
      return result
  
  # "hello world" user-scripted implementation
  def action_helloWorld():
      LIBRARY.Report("hello world")
  

• For Java harness:

  /**
  * map a user-scripted action to its function
  */
  public static boolean divert(String actionName) {
    boolean result = true;
    if (actionName.equals("hello world")) { 
      action_helloWorld();
      }
  
    return result;
  }
  
  /**
  * "hello world" user-scripted implementation
  */
  public static void action_helloWorld() {
    AbtLibrary.report("hello world");
  }
