Test execution - comment from previous run is not visible

Test execution - comment from previous run is not visible

Steps:
1. TC is run in build1 with failed with some comment
2. after fix in the code the TC is run in the following build2
when the TC is executing in the build2 it is not possible to see the comment from previous run on the previous build1
It should be there!

The comment is only visible when I run the TC within the same build which is non-sense because the build with fix is definitely different!

The other problem is that the button Show complete execution history shows the list of the the execution this TC on previous builds without any results of these runs.
The button Show only last execution shows the last execution status (fail, passed,....) but without the notes.

If this TC is re-tested on the same build then you see the notes from the last execution.

I think that this note should be available mainly in case executing TC on the next build because this note is important for the next run.

From my point of view this is really bug.

Thanks

While executing a test on Build 2, details of the previous test execution should be displayed near top of the frame. Just below this is a blue bar with an icon on far right. Click the icon and the blue bar will expand and display comment/note from that previous execution.

I am having the exact same problem with my installation after upgrading from 1.8.5 as the Zakyn(original poster) did. We really need to see the notes from past executions on previous builds. Is anybody else having this problem?

@unhandled: Your description is correct for viewing the execution history/notes for previous executions within the same build. I think Zakyn(original poster) and myself would like to see the execution history/notes for all builds. This is how it was in 1.8.5 and it appears to have changed in 1.9.3.

I do see the execution history/status/notes for all builds after I click the 'Show complete execution history' button. I suggest you compare your config files from 1.8.5 and 1.9.x.

Pay attention to all the $tlCfg->exec_cfg options, especially the following:

// TRUE -> History for all platforms (if any exists for test plan) will be shown
// FALSE -> Only history of the current platform will be shown [STANDARD BEHAVIOUR]
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->show_history_all_platforms = TRUE;

I'm sorry, I copied & pasted the wrong lines...Here is the config parameter to pay close attention to:


// TRUE -> History for all builds will be shown
// FALSE -> Only history of the current build will be shown [STANDARD BEHAVIOUR]
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->show_history_all_builds = TRUE;

Hello,



And do you know how we can expand automatically the notes (without go to the blue bar with an icon on far right)?


Thanks,
Regards
