Variable value not updating in test script
Hi, While running some tests I am stuck at something I do not understand. There is a Boolean variable in my test script whose value I get from a script attached to a game object inside the scene that I am loading at the start of the test. The code is below :
PrepareScene();
yield return null;
//yield return new WaitForSeconds(10f);
Testbool = GameObject.Find("TestSuite").GetComponent<TestSuite>().hasLoaded;
while (Testbool == false)
{
yield return null;
}
In the above piece of code I am assigning the value to the Test bool. However the value of test bool remains to be false forever and the test gives me a timeout error after 30 secs even though I am sure that hasLoaded becomes true at some point. If I use waitforseconds(10) and then assign the value of Testbool it becomes true. But the value of Testbool does not update once it has been assigned
You are getting the TestBool, by value, not reference. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/value-types
Testbool = GameObject.Find("TestSuite").GetComponent<TestSuite>().hasLoaded;
This is copying the value into Testbool. If the value of hasLoaded changes it will not be reflected back to TestBool. You should instead hold a reference to the GameObject and check hasLoaded directly.
var suite = GameObject.Find("TestSuite").GetComponent<TestSuite>();
while (suite.hasLoaded == false)
{
yield return null;
}
Hi, thank you I have solved this issue. I have one more question though, my test script is derived from TestSuite and TestSuite has a bool named hasloaded.
I cannot just use this in my test script?
while(hasloaded == false) { yield return null; }
