How does the script window work?

How does the script window work? If I see a script there and I can't find it on my file system, what does that mean?

It is probably because you have not yet finished your recording.

For a NEW script -- which is not an overwrite of an existing file -- the recorded commands are not committed to an actual file until the script is finished. That is, until after you press "Stop" -- to step recording.

The reason for this is efficiency and safety: eValid does NOT want to be continually writing the script file to a hard-disk file during recording because that may take too much time and that kind of interference is outside what eValid is willing to impose as part of the testing process.

Commit the file, by ending the recording, and eValid will save it in the location you chose at the beginning of the recording.
