Are excel files supported by Gitlab

Hi,

We are currently in the process of setting up our Automation test cases to go with CI/CD pipeline. For parameterization we use Excel files. Can we checkin excel files as well to Gitlab?

Thanks

Hey,

You can commit whatever you want - this is not really GitLab dependent, but git itself.
However, does git support diff of Excel files - no. So it treats it as a binary file.
Can you work with Excel files in pipeline - absolutely.

Hope this helps.

I have 3 Feature Files called from Gitlab-CI Pipeline.
Each Feature File is expected to pick a value from 1st column and update the 2nd column with Y. When it progresses to 2nd feature file, 2nd Row is not progressed to. However, picks up 1st Row 1st Column and marks the 2nd column with Y.

Debugged to find that the value Y marked by 1st Feature file is not getting saved when the 2nd Feature File runs. Hence still stuck with the 1st Row.

Any pointers shall be greatly appreciated.
