Create Automation Script Project

The Create Automation Script Project wizard supports you in creating script projects for DaVinci Adaptive projects. The wizard provides a few template scripts that you can use to get started more easily with your script development. The created script project can be opened in IntelliJ IDEA, where you can modify and add your own code to the scripts.

Open Wizard

To open the Create Automation Script Project wizard, go to the Scripts View and click create-script-project Create Script Project in the toolbar. The Create Automation Script Project wizard opens.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To create an Automation Script Project, open the Create Automation Script Project wizard and proceed as follows:

  1. Prerequisites Page

    The Prerequisites page informs you about what is needed for script development. It also refers to the Automation Interface documentation as a guide for script development. To open this document, go back to the Scripts View and click open-automation-interface-documentation Open Automation Interface Documentation in the toolbar. Note that you need IntelliJ IDEA and Java installed to be able to edit and build your script project.

    Since this page is an informative page, no selections or settings are required on this page.

    Click Next > to proceed.

  2. Script Selection Page

    On the Script Selection page, you can select a script template to start with for your new script project. The grid contains the available templates with a short description about the template.

    Activate the check box of the script template to be used.

    Click Next > to confirm your selection.

  3. Project Settings Page

    Click the Gradle Distribution URL arrow to select the distribution to be used as the Gradle dependency for your script project. If Custom URL is selected, enter the local folder containing the Gradle binary ZIP file in the field Custom Gradle URL. If you want the IntelliJ IDEA to open automatically when the creation of the new project is finished, activate the Open IntelliJ IDEA check box. If you’re using Linux, you need to provide the path to your IntelliJ IDEA Launcher if you want to activate this option.

    Click Next > to confirm your settings.

  4. Execute Project Creation Page

    Once the creation is started, the log for the creation will be printed in this window so that you can follow the progress.
