What's the best way to run multiple scripts in sequence

Asked by Aleksander

I'm new to the whole scene and read about different approaches over the lest 3 days.
Best one for me and for now looks like this:

dir = "the_path_to_main_directory"
scripts=["script1","script2","script3","script4",..]
scriptPath = os.path.join(dir, "script1"+".sikuli")
setBundlePath(scriptPath)
execfile(os.path.join(scriptPath, "script1"+".py"))
scriptPath = os.path.join(dir, "script2"+".sikuli")
setBundlePath(scriptPath)
execfile(os.path.join(scriptPath, "script2"+".py"))
scriptPath = os.path.join(dir, "script3"+".sikuli")
setBundlePath(scriptPath)
execfile(os.path.join(scriptPath, "script3"+".py"))
scriptPath = os.path.join(dir, "script4"+".sikuli")
setBundlePath(scriptPath)
execfile(os.path.join(scriptPath, "script4"+".py"))

Since there will be a lot of tests where I would have to put 15+ scripts together, it would take to much time to get those tests up and running.

So my question is, what would be the easiest way to run those scripts in a sequence?

I also tried import, but couldn't get it to work the way that's described already in :

I Suppose we are talking about pre final version 1.1.0 (http://sikulix.com):

if you want to stay with the concept "one-test-is-one-script", then you should have a look at:
http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/scripting.html#running-scripts-and-snippets-from-within-other-scripts-and-run-scripts-one-after-the-other

The other principal way is to use the unittest approach:
faq 1804 (HTMLTestRunner is bundled with 1.1.0 already)

Sorry, I'm running the Sikuli 1.0.1.

The "one-test-is-one-script" I wouldn't use cause of the complex test cases I have to do. It would be easier to define test cases with predefined scripts.

Will check the faq 1804 and get familiar with it.

Can you help with this problem?
