Test workspaces

One way to keep things tidy when dealing with a lot of tests is to use different workspaces. We recommend one workspace per app. Workspaces also enable versioning of your tests via git or some other versioning tool.

The place of your workspace directory is indicated below the main menu:

A workspace is a normal file directory. It can contain a couple of different files:

1. a “tests” directory, containing one sub directory for each test
2. a “batchRuns” directory, containing all the batch run reports you exported
3. a “database.rpt” file, which holds information such as your library structure or how your batches are organized
4. a “backup” directory, containing some backed up versions of your database.rpt file
5. a “.gitignore” file, that you can use to exclude files in case you don’t want so sync certain files

How to create a new workspace

1. Create a new directory (with windows explorer / mac finder)
2. Open repeato and select “File/Open workspace”
3. In the dialog, choose the directory (the one you created in step 1)
4. Repeato will initialize the directory as workspace and save some meta data in there

Every test you record will end up in this workspace directory.

To benefit from versioning, just create a git repository inside of this directory.
