Introduction

Changes Since JavaTest Harness, Version 3.1

The JavaTest Harness, Version 3.1.3 release provides minor bug fixes.

Installation

This section covers the topics:

Installation Instructions

Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed information about installing the test suite and the JavaTest harness on your test system.

Usage Notes

Browsing Reports When Using JDK1.3.1

If you run the JavaTest harness using JDK 1.3.1, the viewer displays partial HTML source for the directory when you click a directory link while browsing reports. This characteristic of JEditorPane in JDK 1.3.1 was fixed in JDK 1.4.

Printing Reports

To print a report, open the report in your browser and then use your browser's print function to generate a copy of the report.

Printing Pages from the Online Help

The JavaTest User's Guide has been provided in pdf form for you use in printing single pages as well as the entire document. While the online help viewer supports printing operations, in some cases you may be unable to use it to print a specific page. If this occurs, you should use the pdf version of the JavaTest User's Guide to print the page.

Known Bugs

BUG ID DESCRIPTION
4405026 Recovering from a corrupt work directory

In some situations, JavaTest "freezes" while it waits for a lockfile. At timed intervals it prints the following message on the console to notify you that it is waiting:

Result cache waiting for lock...

If this situation does not resolve itself in a short period of time (minutes), you can recover by following these steps:

  1. Exit the JavaTest harness
  2. Delete the ResultCache.jtw file in the jtData subdirectory of the work directory
  3. Delete the ResultCache.jtw.lck file in the jtData subdirectory of the work directory
4400025 Empty folders/directories in test suite are not hidden in the GUI

Empty folders/directories in test suites are not currently hidden in the GUI test tree. Hiding empty folders/directories in the test tree may be implemented in a future release.

4422418 Test information not updated automatically

Information in the Test panel tabs is not automatically updated during a test run. To update the information manually, switch to a different tab and then return.

4741597 Folder state coloring not updated automatically

In some cases you may notice that a folder is colored white but contains all green folders. This is an inconsistent but benign problem of coloring folder state. It can usually be cleared by selecting a different view filter and then returning to the original view filter which forces an update of the tree. In some cases it may be necessary to exit the harness and then return to clear the problem.

4752198 Problems with file names that contain whitespace

The Configuration Editor may not correctly save/restore file names that contain space characters. To workaround the problem, rename your files so that they do not contain any space characters.
