Version Control and Collaboration

abstract When working on any big software project, we need version control of automation artifacts. Version Control allows individuals to work independently with their own copy of files/artifacts and prevents overwriting or clobbering another person's work. It also helps us associate specific artifacts with specific versions of the application under test.

We recommend using git for version control.

Flowcharts on the Filesystem

When we create flowcharts, all the information about the flowcharts project are stored as plain text (json or csv) files on the file system.
The path to the files is <sahipro>/userdata/scripts/flowchartsdata/<project_name>.
You can open the flowchartsdata folder from the Flowcharts UI by clicking on the folder icon in the Projects page.
You can also click on the Scripts Folder icon on the Dashboard and then navigate to flowchartsdata folder.
We recommend adding the entire userdata folder to your version control system (VCS) since it contains all configurations, script files and other user specific data.
Files and folders which need to be excluded are already added in a .gitignore file.
If you are using any other VCS, adapt from the .gitignore accordingly.
