marc1 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi, I'm using AutoIt in a robotframework test to handle a windows file dialog. The AutoIt script runs fine on my machine but the same script on the PC of my colleague has a wrong @scriptDir path. The line is: ControlSetText("Öffnen", "", "Edit1", @ScriptDir & "\..\data\Test.xml") On my PC the path is as expected. On the PC of my colleague the path is the windows user directory. I'm really puzzled. Cheers, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @ScriptDir only shows the current scripts path, can you confirm where the script is running from? What exactly does Windows user directory mean? Do you mean the system account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc1 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 - The script is in the path G:\git\test\team_test\PBI_1\src\Script.exe - The "Test.xml" file has the path G:\git\test\team_test\PBI_1\data\Test.xml - With "user directory" I mean e.g. "c:\users\User_ABC" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Do they have a cached/offline folder of G:\git within their profile or are they running it directly from G:? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc1 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Within g:\git is the git-repo. Inside the test is called which executes the AutoIt "Script.exe" file. My guess is that's a (windows) configuration issue or something similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc1 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 This is very weird. The solution was that my colleague compiled the same ".au3" script on his PC. It works. Then I tried his .exe on my machine. It also works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careca Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Maybe you have some fileinstall lines? Lines that place the needed files in the right folders.
