Test Execution: Filter & Settings

ivo.eersels · Post by **ivo.eersels** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 12:35 pm

The QA department at my company is currently using version 1.7.4 and would like to upgrade to version 1.8.3. However the QA Manager has noticed that in the latest version the Test Execution Filter pane at the top left is closed by default. So every time he wants to look at a specific execution (for demo purposes to show me something for instance) he needs to click open the filter pane to be able to filter the test cases in the test plan. In the 1.7.4 version this is not the case.

Is there a way to make sure that this filter pane is always open without hacking into the source code? This is quite annoying and was ok in the old version.

I'm running 1.8.3 and also would like the "Filter & Settings" section under "Execute" to display by default so that our users can easily select the proper Build. Does someone know where in the code I can modify this?

Thanks,
Jeff

I would have a look at ./gui/templates/execute/execNavigator.tpl

Line 57: <body onLoad="show_hide('tplan_settings','tpn_view_settings',0);">

if you change the 0 into a 1, it will probably do the trick. But I advise to click around a bit to check if this doesn't affect something else.

That worked, thank you. I looked around and the change didn't seem to affect anything else. Now if I can only figure out how to show the Notes section in Test Executions by default. Any ideas about that one?

From what I can tell, \gui\templates\execute\inc_exec_show_tc_exec.tpl has a script on line 243 that shows the notes when you click the arrow but I've been unable to figure out how to run the script by default. I tried messing with the <body onLoad...> tag in execSetResults.tpl but with no luck. If anyone else has ideas I'd love to hear them.

I'm stuck on this problem as well - to me, this stuff should be expanded by default. Were you ever able to work around this? Thanks!
