Variables & Secrets

1. Using Variables (${variable})

Define reusable variables at the top of your test file:

variables:
  query: Mechanical Keyboard

steps:
  - act: Type '${query}' into search bar

2. Using Secrets (${secret.KEY})

To keep passwords and API keys out of git repositories, use ${secret.KEY} in your test steps:

steps:
  - act: Type '${secret.SAUCE_PASSWORD}' into 'Password'

Storing Secrets (secrets.yaml)

Create a secrets.yaml file in your test folder or project root:

secrets:
  SAUCE_PASSWORD: secret_sauce

ZeniTest also checks environment variables automatically (e.g. SECRET_SAUCE_PASSWORD).
