Hi Candy,

Source control profiles enable Silk Central to integrate with external source control systems. Defining source control profiles allows you to define where Silk Central’s execution servers should retrieve program sources for test execution. For more information, please access the Silk Central product information:

Regards,

I am creating a source control profile and code is not checking out to Exec Server:

Name: resi.Automation

Source control system: Git (select from drop down menu)

URL: enter URL to the project I want to check out

Username: (my username)

Password: (my password)

Working folder: /home/silkadmin/source-files/

Project path: (currently leave empty because I assume it points to 'resi.Automation', I did change to subfolder of resi.Automation as a test but still doesn't check out code)

I am using Jenkins to kick off test suite in Silk. After Jenkins job is kicked off and completed. I looked at /home/silkadmin/source-files/ directory, there is nothing checking out. And of course, tests in Silk are not executed because scripts are not found in Execution Server.

If I manually check out the code to Execution Server, the tests will run successfully.

Many thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason, it looks like your working folder is not a valid local path. As per the Help, it must be an absolute local path, not a relative path. Does that resolve your issue?

Thanks Marcel!

I found out the problem is that I didn't specify which Source Control to use for my test container.
