Cloud run video download link

Hi Arun,

The following questions will help us better understand the issue you are having:

1- When clicking on Video icon, what do you see? Does the video load or not?

2- If you right click Download icon and select "Save link as" in order to save the video on your machine, does the video play afterwards?

3- Is there a specific test case/execution we can take a look at?

Hi Joseph

1. When clicking on Video icon the video loads but not in a browser, it plays in a frame

2. When i right click the download icon and select save link as it allows me to save the video in local machine and i am able to play it afterwards

3. It is happening for all the executions i perform in my project

Testcase name : TS_AP_101_13_Manage_Invoice_Holds

Test id : 2864

Since my videos are downloading in local i am not able to share the video link to my clients

Hi Arun,

When the video icon is clicked, the video is displayed on the same page for your own viewing purposes. But if you want to share the video, there are 3 ways:

1- You can share the link of the video by right clicking the download icon highlighted below and selecting "copy link address" or a similar option depending on your browser. This link is stored on S3 and is publicly accessible.

2- You can share the actual video in .MP4 format by right clicking the download icon and selecting "save link as.." and this will allow you to get the actual file stored on your machine and you can share it as a file.

3- If the download icon is clicked, it will open a new page and display the video there. From the same screen, you can copy the URL and share it, which is basically the same as in step 1.

Please let us know if this answers your question or if you have other questions we can help with.

Hi Joseph

When I right click on the download icon and copy link address,and paste the address in the browser url still video is getting downloaded as mp4 into my local machine, I guess the link is not stored on S3 and is publicly accessible for my project(Consol). 

Hi Arun,

Just to confirm, does part of the URL you are seeing include s3.amazonaws.com ?

HI Joseph

This is the copy link url - https://testautomation.pwcinternal.com/files/consol/videos/video_1592293545154.mp4

which i get when i right click and fetch the url

Hi Arun,

Hi Joseph

Could you please confirm how long the output videos are stored in Subject7 after a cloud run is performed?

Will it be there in execution report permanently?

Hi Arun,

For SaaS, it is normally 60 days but for on premise, it depends on the admin setup. Most on-Prem keep their videos for much longer times.

Could you please let us know what you need?

Hi Joseph

Since our videos are not publicly accessible, we are finding a way to share it to client

Is there any possibility that we can upload the video directly to their shared drive or dropbox? Also can we change the video's naming convention to testcase_timestamp?

Hi Arun,

Naming convention cannot be changed, but for uploading, you can read and check Dropbox documentation to see if they allow uploading files by remote URL via API.

If they allow it, you can set up a REST Connection and use it in Execution Set Callbacks. The variable that contains video URL is:

 @test_case_execution_video_url
