Title: HTML report and attached file
Post by: glads on June 29, 2005, 12:22:31 pm

Hi everyone,

I have a problem when generating html reports when my use cases have attached files.

The problem is that I can't use relative paths, because when html is generated, the html locations are different and the file links are lost. With absolute paths, things are much worse!!!  :-[

I use to attach storyboards files with use cases. That's why I need them.

Thank you,
Gladstone.

I guess this is a general problem. You could use a sed-command to post-process the paths.

I can't see how I could use a sed-command, since the html code is generated by EA...

Is there some way of describing path variables?

I meant by using a post-processor.

A external tool for changing the html generated by EA, is it?

Yes. sed is an inline editor (in UNIX) that is used to change strings in an ASCII file. If you have a pattern in your path (which is very likely) you can change it easily. Under Windows you could use a simple Perl script to achieve that.
