coloring in execute tree

jsm · Post by **jsm** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:49 am

Bug id 0000885 tells that it is possible to bring back the coloring in execute tree by code contributed by Kester Mielke.
But where can I find this code (and how to apply it)?

Need a little mor guidance, sorry for being that clueless.

Code for DTREE and JTREE, up and running on CVS HEAD (thanks to user contribution)

Yes, this is a must have functionality. Please provide instructions on how to enable this...

Mattias,

I understood fman's answer in that way that you have to select either DTREE or JTREE in config.inc.php (or better add the belonging section to custom_config.inc.php).
Unfortunately in my case this leads to an error (see Issue 1217 in Mantis).
Does it work if you try?

regards
Joerg

As I understood, the code is in HEAD. I.e. the code does not exist in 1.7.*-versions.

We have just finsihed a test period and it's really disturbing to not see which test cases are passed/failed/blocked. Besides the coloring 1.6 had a summary within brackets (for each suite) that showed how many was passed,failed and blocked...

Ok, but on 1.7.x you have a LOT of things you do not have on 1.6.3, and seems are not important for you.

Adding code to 1.7.x will be done, but you can add yourself using code present on Mantis contributed by Kmielke.

Regards

I am overall please with 1.7

How do I add this functionality?

- Backup your install directory (just in case...)
- get nightly tarball from http://testlink.org/cvs_tarballs/index.php?dir=head/
- expand it over your installation
- check if your customisations are still there
- if neccessary add
$g_tree_type='TREE';
or
$g_tree_type='LAYERSMENU';
in config.inc.php (or better in custom_config.inc.php)

this is the way it worked for me.
hope that helps

Are there any tricks to getting the older view back when executing test cases (not the tree (left), but the test case view (right)). Thanks.

So, I'm trying the suggestion by jsm and have the latest from HEAD (yep, alpha code). The following warning message appears and number two is a bit confusing, any additional explanation would be appreciated.

Davila,
do not mess topics.
The second sentence of warning means that previous versions could left some obsolete data in your database. The next conversion will provide some clean-up of such data.
