Relevant for: GUI tests and scripted GUI components

Generated file |
The file path of the generated document from which you want to output text during the run session. You can enter a path manually or click the Select Comparison File button to navigate to the required file. The path can be relative or absolute (unless you use a regular expression). The file must be located in the file system. When you initially specify a file to compare, the textual content from that file is displayed in the file content editor of the dialog box as the expected value of the checkpoint. If you later change this path, the content in the file content editor is not affected.
