Cannot get the project management to work.

[frankh]

As soon as I try creating more than one project, the test cases, plans etc. immediately gets "mixed up" between the projects.

Here's what I'm doing (bear with me for the long explaination - I'm new to this):

ON A FRESH Testlink 1.8.3 installation
-------------------------------------------

- Log in as admin
- The "Create new Test Project" form is displayed
- I create a new test project called "Project 1"
- Click Home
- Click Test Plan Management -> Create
- Create a new test plan called "Project 1"
- After saving it, I get this message: "There are currently no test project defined!"

Now why is is that after I've created a Test Project (that was the only thing I was allowed to do when first logging in) that it complains that there is no testproject defined?

Moving on...

- Click "Requirement Specification Document"
- The "Project 1" project is listed in the tree.
- I click it, click "New Requirement Specification"
- Title: "Project 1 Requirement Specification"
- Click "Save"
- Click "Update tree"
- I select the newly created "Project 1 Requirement Specification"
- Click "Create Requirement"
- I create a few specific requirements for "Project 1"
- Click "Home"

- Click "Edit Test Cases"
- Select "Project 1"
- Click "New child Test Suite"
- Fill out the name (Test Suite 1) and details -> click "Create Test Suite"
- Select "Test Suite 1"
- Click "Create Test Cases"
- Fill out name ("Test Case 1), summary, steps and expected results
- Click "Create"
- Click "Home"

- Click "Assign Requirements"
- Click the "Test Case 1" Test Case
- Assign the Requirement created above to "Test Case 1"
- Click "Assign"
- Click "Home"

- Click "Edit Test Cases"
- Click the "Test Case 1" Test Case -> Add to Test Plans
- Add the "Test Case 1" Test Case to the "Project 1" Test Plan.
- Click "Home"

- Create a build and execute the test.

So far it works, as I've only got one project.

Then I create a new project
--------------------------------
- Click "Test Project Management"
- Create a new test project called "Project 2"
- Click "Home"

- Click Test Plan Management -> Create
- Create a new test plan called "Project 2"
- After saving it, I get this message: "There are currently no test project defined!"
- Click "Home"

- Select "Project 2" in the Right-side Test Plan drop-down box

- Click "Edit Test Cases"
The "Project 1" test cases are now showing in the left menu. No way to create new Suites and Test Cases for the new project.

The same goes for "Requirements Specifications Document" - it shows the document(s) for Project 1, and no way to create a new one for Project 2.

- I try removing the "Active" choice for Project 1 in Test Projects Management and Test Plan Management...

Still, when clicking Requirement Specification Document or Edit Test Cases, the documents and cases for Project 1 is shown and there is no way to create new ones for Project 2.

TRYING WITH DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS:
- Create 2 new users:
- project1tester (senior tester)
- project1lead (leader)
- project2tester (senior tester)
- project2lead (leader)

Trying to assign to Test Project and Test Plan:
Project 1: project1tester (senior tester)
project1lead (leader)
Project 2: project2tester (senior tester)
project2lead (leader)

After assigning project1tester and project1lead to Project 1, and giving project2tester and project2lead no rights for Project 1, no users are available when selecting Project 2... (!!!)

Now, when logging in with EITHER project1lead or project2lead, the only available project is Project 2, and no data is present.

REMOVING EVERYTHING AND REINSTALLING
----------------------------------------------------

This time, let's test the user accounts and assigning them to projects:

- Clean installation. Logging in with admin/admin for the first time.

- Create a new Test Project called Project 1.
- Create a new Test Project called Project 2.
- Click "Home"

- Click "User Management"
- Create the following users:
project1lead (leader)
project2lead (leader)
seniortester (senior tester)

- Select "Assign Test Project Roles"
Project 1:
admin <inherited> admin
project1lead <inherited> leader
project2lead <no rights>
seniortester <inherited> senior tester
- Click "Update"

Then, when I select "Project 2", I get a blank screen. No users, no choices, no nothing.

I click back and forth, and back to "Assign Test Project Roles" again.
When "Project 1" is selected, the users and Test Project Roles (Project 1) are listed.
When I select "Project 2" and click "Change", every user disappears again.

I try creating a new user, and go back to "Assign Test Project Roles". Still, when I select "Project 2", no users are listed.


What is it that I'm doing horribly wrong here?

It obvious that this product has no support, then.

Nothing you've done wrong, there is a bug in 1.8.3 that causes the above message. There is a fix in 1.8.4 [not out yet as of this writing] that should fix the other problems related to the above message.
