Issue with Environment Scope in GUI Tests Using Ivy Framework

Patafix

Hello Ivy Team,
I'm running into a problem while setting up GUI tests with the Ivy Framework, where I need to specify the environment scope for database operations. My goal is to delete and then populate test entries in the database before each test, but I keep getting the following error:
"ch.ivyteam.ivy.environment.EnvironmentNotAvailableException: Access to ivy environment is not possible. Missing process model version scope."
I suspect the issue is related to the scope in the Ivy environment. From what I understand, the scope is likely tied to the environment context (like the process model version scope), and this may need to be specified explicitly. However, I’m not sure how to determine which scope my GUI tests are running under or how to configure this correctly in the code.

Hello Patafix

A simple way to populate and clear the database within your test project is to create processes to do so.
Create two processes 'CreateTestData' and 'ClearTestData' that both have a single script step. In this script step, you can perform your desired persistence operations. These processes can be called from your test just like the processes under test.

Kind regards
Lukas
