Too much trouble with TestLink, who si wrong?

[gandreotti]

I have a lot of trouble with TestLink and before posting many bug reports in Mantis I want to be sure I did not miss something.
My Environment:
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.3
MySQL 5.0.45
Windows XP Pro SP2
Firefox 2.0.0.8
I am running XOOP, Squirrel Mail, PHPMyadmin and many other applications so it seems that my server config is fine. But in Testlink:

1- I can't assign TC to users (bug 0001163 already existing in Mantis)
2- I can view attachments in executed test (Nothing found in Mantis)
3- Executed test are not saved. If I logout them login, all the tests I performed are lost (seems to be a too big bug to be true) (Nothing found in Mantis)
4- I quite a lot of PHP errors (like Undefined property: stdClass::$order_by...)
5- Navigation view not visible when using EI 7 (already posted in this forum)

So I am lost and I wonder if I should wait for the next release or if something is wrong with me?

Thanks

1. resolved 5 mins ago on branch -> wait for 1.7.1
or change at line 49 is_open with open on tc_exec_assignments

2. what attachments do you not see ?

3. Need detailed steps.

4. solved on last branch commit

5. What is navigation view ? please clarify

We can not assure we are testing with last browsers versions (I use IE 6 and firefox, and do all my tests with firefox).

Sorry I did not wanted to pollute the forum with unnecessary request so I did not write any details:
1- Done, running now
2- JPG and PDF at least. I have the following error
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$order_by in ...testlink_171\lib\functions\attachments.inc.php on line 319
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ....\testlink_171\lib\functions\attachments.inc.php:319) in ....\testlink_171\lib\attachments\attachmentdownload.php on line 34 (Same message up to line 38 )
then it displays the jpeg file in text mode
3- I do not have coherent result yet here I will try different ways. What it is sure is that the Notes / Description are saved in the database but not display in the Testlink execute page. Same issue sometime with the attachments.
4-Ok
5- See http://www.teamst.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=618

Thanks

regarding:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$order_by in

this problem (Was my fault) as been solved, get last 1.7.1 tarball and retest

3. again give me step by step details, in order to reproduce.

[gandreotti]

Hi,
Really nothing special in the steps I performed:

• Click Execute
  Choose a value for Assigned to
  Apply the filter
  Click the Plan I want to work on
  Scroll to the Case I want to execute
  Add a Note
  Choose a result value
  Click the Save Execution button

The page refresh and the Note is not visible anymore from the Execute interface but present in the Executions table of the database.

Questions:
a- Is there a way to see the Note from the result reports?
b- Is there a way to create a Bug report directly from TestLink? It will be nice to be able to directly create a bug report and automatically export the Test result with the Case description, Note status directly to Mantis or to another supported Bug tracking system.


Thanks
Gautier

integration with Bug tracking systems, to be general, can be only light,
then you can integrate TL with mantis, or jira, or bugzilla,
but you need to do all manually:
i.e:
using tl open link on bts
report issue
write down issue number

then input it on TL.

other kind of integration are more difficult, and may be will be done in
future.

[fman]

regarding notes now works in this way you must click on icon to see it.
is not as was on 1.0 anymore.

there is a request to enable on line view of notes, must be implemented

do you wnat to help us ?

i dont know if someone has submited patches to our mantis.
please do some searchs

[gandreotti]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I installed the lastest version: The Tree is running now with IE and other small glitches seem fixed. But I still have frequent PHP message Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$order_by

Still issues to see the attachments (tried JPG and PDF). See the error message above

Code: Select all

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at E:\xampp\testlink_171\lib\functions\attachments.inc.php:319) in E:\xampp\testlink_171\lib\attachments\attachmentdownload.php on line 38

About helping you, I am not a PHP guy and my team are C* guys. I can help you with documentation (French or English eventually Chinese), testing and eventually design. About other forms of help, please contact me on my email.

Did not find any patches for Mantis

Your config.inc.php is wrong,
Please get 1.7.1, and overwrite your config.inc.php

(really there is an issue on mantis, with a workaround)

Start putting your customization on:
custom_config.inc.php


regards

[gandreotti]

Hi,
I did not modified config.inc.php but only custom_config.inc.php. To be sure about it I overwrite config.inc.php with the original one, but still have the same issues. I just customized the SMTP and MANTIS parameters inside custom_config.inc.php.
Addtionnaly since I set one of the user for Chinese language at least one button when using the english interface displays "LOCALIZE: button_reset_password" and all the buttons display similar message when using the Chinese interface.
Regards

[fman]

1. you are not confirming if problem persist or not.
anyway this problem has been fixed.

2. regarding LOCALIZE , these means that the string is not defined on
strings.txt for chinese.

Try to get last strings.txt chinese from CVS head.
if this do not solve your problem use custom_strings.txt adding missing strings. (read config.inc.php to understand how to use custom*)

3. have you added your company to the forum ?

[gandreotti]

Hi, and thanks for your answer.
We still have the following issues:

1- Unable to display the attachments (issues already described in a previous message)
2- Still have a lot of Undefined property: stdClass::$order_by notice. I downloaded the last version, do everything you suggested, but ...

About the localized strings.txt it seems that I still have a lot to do here. For example only 3 of the 12 installed strings.txt contain the button_reset_password string. Mainy others are missing in the Chinese one. Is there a repository or do you have a reference one I can use to fix the strings.txt I am using?

About Mantis integration I am a litte but too busy this week to investigate. I can link a failed execution to an existing Mantis entry, but for me the ideal will be to directly create an event in Mantis by exporting the TestLink results.

[fman]

You need to do this:
1. backup your code
2. get 1.7.1
3. install it -> attachment problems must disapear

Regarding creating an issue on mantis directly form TL:
this is not available.

I have developed (and there are other develpoments) creating issue on mantis importing from a file, this can be a soution.
