- Sometimes Functional Tester gives an error Error reading the configuration file.Playback not started when users from different groups use RFT.
- Exception occurs while opening the Functional Test perspective in Linux.
- Unable to remotely execute VB.Net scripts through CQTM.
This section describes known limitations and problems specific to this release, and any workarounds that are available.
The ObjRecProp.rftop file does not list all the objects available in the object map.
If the object is not found in the ObjRecProp.rftop file, you can add it in the CustomObjRecProp.rftop. While adding the object details, ensure that you specify the domain, object class name, properties and weights in the format used in the ObjRecProp.rftop file.
Alternatively, you can copy the object details as mentioned below.
For HTML
The standard controls that are not listed in the ObjRecProp.rftop file are mapped to Html.HTML object in the default properties file.
For example: To modify the properties of the html.DIV object, copy the Html.HTML object details and rename the object name to html.DIV and make the required changes.
- To find the object name, right-click the object in the Script Explorer and open the Object Map editor. Click the Recognition tab. The .class field indicates the object name.
- From the ObjRecProp.rftop file, copy the Html.HTML object details into CustomObjRecProp.rftop under HTML domain
- Modify the Html.HTML to the required object name and customize the required details. You can add, edit or delete the object properties.
For Java, .NET and Windows
Note: For Windows, if you are unable to find the object name using the above method, based on the type of object, copy either WIN32OBJECT, TOPLEVELWINDOW, or ACCESSIBILITYOBJECT object details and customize it.
- To find the object name, right-click the object in the Script Explorer and open the Object Map editor. Click the Administrative tab. The Proxy Class Name (#proxy) field indicates the object's proxy name.
- Open the rational_ft.rftcust file available at <Functional Tester install directory>\FunctionalTester\bin. Search for the proxy name. The Used By tag indicates the object name used for the proxy.
- Search for this object name in the ObjRecProp.rftop file and copy the object details into CustomObjRecProp.rftop under the specific domain.
- Modify the object name and customize the required details. You can add, edit or delete the object properties.
Using the Application Configuration tool you must invoke the test application. If you do not invoke it from Functional Tester the objects in the application-under test (AUT) will not be recognized.
Workaround: Set the LD_Preload environment variable along with other functional test variables. This enables the tool to recognize the objects in the AUT when invoked outside Functional Tester.
For example: export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/IBM/SDP70_RFT_V7/Functiona lTester/bin/libftevent.so
While uninstalling Functional Tester 7.x , the configuration and customization data residing in /etc/opt/IBM location is not removed and therefore you get an error while installing Functional Tester 6.x.
Workaround: Move the files from /etc/opt/IBM to a different location if you want to re-use the data or delete the files before installing Functional Tester 6.x.
In Microsoft Windows Vista, Functional Tester cannot be integrated with Rational ClearCase.
Sometimes while playing back a Functional Test script, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException occurs. This is a problem with Eclipse.
Workaround: Perform the following:
- Un-check Project > Build Automatically option.
- Click Project > Clean. In the Clean dialog box, select Clean All Projects and click OK to build the project from the scratch.
- Execute the scripts.
After upgrading Functional Tester, the JREs, Web browsers, and Eclipse platforms that were configured for testing are disabled. Only the default JREs and Web browsers are enabled after an update.
You need to re-enable the required JREs, Web browsers and the Eclipse platforms for testing after upgrading Functional Tester.
Contrary to the Installation Manager online help and the 7.0 product Installation Guide, you cannot use the Uninstall Packages wizard rollback feature; the rollback feature is not supported in Installation Manager, Version 1.0.0.3.
The Rolling back updates online help topic indicates that you can use the Uninstall Packages wizard to revert to a previously installed version of a package. For example, if you install Rational Functional Tester, Version 7.0 and then update to version 7.0.0.1, the help topic states that you can use the rollback feature to revert to 7.0; this is not possible. Also, the Silent Install Commands online help topic indicates that you can use a rollback command during silent install; this command is not supported.
Workaround: In order to revert to an earlier version of a package, you must uninstall the entire package. In the example, a single uninstallation procedure removes the version 7.0 package and the upgraded 7.0.0.1 package. After uninstalling, you would need to reinstall the 7.0 package.
Unable to play back a Functional Test script on an agent machine and the TM log displays the message "Product/Project Version Incompatibility".
This problem occurs if the Rational Test Agent is installed after Functional Test agent.
Workaround: Perform the following on the agent machine
- Close the Rational Test agent.
- Rename install.bat.sample as install.bat. This file is available at <Functional Test install directory>\Functional Tester\install scripts location.
- Run the install.bat file to re-install Functional Test agent.
In Windows Vista, you must have administrative privileges to enable or disable JREs and Web browsers for testing.
From the Start menu, right-click the Java Scripting or .Net 2005 Scripting program shortcut and click Run as Administrator to start Functional Tester as an administrator.
Before testing SAP applications, you must enable the SAP client and server for testing.
Enabling SAP GUI (client) for Windows
Enabling SAP server
- Start the SAP Logon and log in to the SAP server.
- Click the Customizing of Local Layout toolbar button.
- Click Options and click the Scripting tab.
- Select the Enable Scripting check box.
- Clear the Notify When a Script Attaches to a Running GUI check box and the Notify When a Script Opens a Connection check box.
- Save the settings and restart the SAP GUI.
You can enable scripting temporarily from the SAP client by performing the following procedure. The value set using this procedure is lost if the server is restarted.
Note: If the server administrator edits the application server profile of the SAP system to include sapgui/user_scripting = TRUE, scripting is enabled by default when the server is restarted.
- Start the SAP Logon and log in to the SAP server.
- Start a RZ11 transaction.
- Type sapgui/user_scripting in the Maintain Profile Parameters window.
- Click Display.
- Click Change value in the Display Profile Parameter Attributes window.
- Type TRUE in the New value field.
- Save the settings and log out from SAP GUI.
- Exit from the SAP Logon program.
Currently, Functional Tester does not support testing multi-tab documents in a single Internet Explorer 7.0 browser window. Functional Tester considers only the document in the first tab of the Internet Explorer 7.0 browser for testing.
Do not zoom in or out before recording and playing back scripts in Internet Explorer 7.0.
Functional Tester 7.0 or later does not support integration with Rational ClearQuest® Test Manager 7.0.
Use Rational ClearQuest Test Manager 7.0.0.1 with Functional Tester 7.0 or later.
Recording and playing back Functional Tester scripts in Internet Explorer 7.0 is slower than in Internet Explorer 6.0.
You cannot play back scripts recorded using Functional Tester 6.1.1.1 on Functional Tester 7.0.
Workaround: Upgrade to 7.0.0.2 to play back scripts recorded using Functional Tester 6.1.1.1.
You cannot play back scripts recorded using Functional Tester 7.0 on Functional Tester 7.0.0.2.
Workaround: Record the scripts again on Functional Tester 7.0.0.2.
Functional Tester 7.0 uses RAC 7.0.1 and hence you cannot install it on a system that has IBM Rational Performance Tester, Version 7.0 (which uses RAC 7.0.1.1) already installed.
While installing Functional Tester 7.0, perform one of the following steps:
- If you can access the Functional Tester update site, use the Check for Updates option in Installation Manager to select and install Functional Tester 7.0.0.2.
- Download the update for Functional Tester 7.0.0.2 on to your system. Add the corresponding repository to the list of repositories in Installation Manager and install Functional Tester 7.0.0.2.
While recording on Internet Explorer 7.0, errors are thrown intermittently pausing the record process.
Workaround: Perform any of the following:
- Click Resume in the displayed error message box to continue with the record process
- Update the Windows registry:
- Create a folder named as Options under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Rational Software > Rational Test > 8.
- Create a registry key named as RecorderTimeout and set it to the desired value. For example, setting the value to 20000 as decimal sets the Recorder timeout to 20 seconds.
Sometimes browser enablement does not automatically add the associated JRE to the set of known JREs and enable it. This causes record and playback on HTML to fail.
Workaround: Perform the following steps:
- Go to the Control Panel from the Start menu and open the Java Control Panel.
- Check the location of the JRE used by the browser in Java Applet Runtime Settings or Java Runtime Environment.
- Open the Functional Tester Enabler.
- Add the JRE used by the browser and enable it.
- Restart the HTML test application.
If the associated JRE is not found in the system, install a new JRE, associate it and enable the browser environment.
For more information on browser enablement see Enabling the Java plug-in of a browser in the Functional Tester help.
When multiple popup windows running on different threads are involved, closing a popup window will open another popup window. During playback, any action after the close action may result in browser crash.
Workaround: Insert sleep() function after the close action in the script.
While adding scripts using the recorder to a project that is not checked out from ClearCase, Visual Studio.NET crashes when you stop the recorder.
Workaround: Check-out the project from ClearCase before you add new scripts.
In the agent machine, shortcut menu options are unavailable to invoke the Application Configuration Tool and the Enabler.
Workaround: Use the command-line interface to run the Application Configuration Tool and the Enabler.
For example:
To configure the test application: java -classpath <classpath> com.rational.test.ft.rational_ft -appConfig
To enable the test environment: java -classpath <classpath> com.rational.test.ft.rational_ft -enable
For information about classpath, see Functional Tester commnad line interface topic in the online help.
Firefox cannot handle more than two AJAX or XMLHTTP requests generated by a single user action.
In the Script Explorer, if you right-click an HTML.Document test object and click Interface Summary, the GuiTestObject API reference is shown instead of the Document test object.
For information about the Document test object API details, see the API Reference topics in the Help.
After installing or upgrading Functional Tester on Microsoft Windows Vista, an administrator must start Functional Tester for the first time to initialize it.
Subsequently, a non-administrator can start Functional Tester. This is a limitation of Windows Vista.
Sometimes the scripts that could be executed in previous version of Functional Tester may display errors after upgrading to Functional Tester 7.0.0.2.
Workaround: Right-click the project that contains the script in the Functional Tester Projects view and click Reset Java Build Path.
You cannot start Functional Tester if you install it into an existing Eclipse that contains a hyphen in its install path or if the existing Eclipse uses a JRE that contains a hyphen in its install path.
Workaround: Perform the following:
- Rename your Eclipse and JRE directories so that they do not contain hyphens.
- Install Functional Tester.
- Rename your Eclipse and JRE directories to their previous state which contained hyphens.
- Modify the rft.sh and rft.csh files under the etc/profile.d directory to reflect the correct paths containing hyphens.
Errors occur while installing Functional Tester into an existing Eclipse if the specified Shared Resources Location or the Extend an Eclipse IDE path contains a lower case character for the drive, for example specifying the Shared Resources Location as c:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared or the Extend Eclipse IDE Location as c:\tmp\eclipse322\eclipse instead of specifying the 'C' drive as 'c'.
While specifying the installation location in the Installation Manager, use the Browse button to select the required directory.
The Samples Gallery and Tutorials Gallery do not support the new high resolution display setting "Larger scale(120DPI)- make text more readable" on Windows Vista operating system. The gallery content does not display if this option is set.
This setting is enabled through the following steps:
Workaround:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Click Ease of Access Center > Make Computer easier to see > Change the size of text and icon.
- Select Larger scale(120DPI)- make text more readable.
- Click Save settings.
If you changed to the new high resolution display option, change to a lower resolution setting (for example, the default 90 DPI setting).
On the Japanese version of the Windows Vista operating system, the Samples Gallery and Tutorials Gallery require Mozilla Firefox as the Web browser preference; the gallery content does not display on other Web browsers.
Workaround:
Install Mozilla Firefox, and then set the Web Browser preference (click Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser) to Mozilla Firefox.
The project in the network may not have Full Trust permission in the local computer due to its security policy. A RuntimeSecurityPolicyException message is displayed in the playback log or in the RFT debug log.
Workaround: Perform the following:
- Configure the security level for the Local Intranet zone to Full Trust. You can do this following these steps:
- Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools and open Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration.
- Select Configure Code Access Security Policy > Adjust Zone Security.
- Select Local Intranet in the Security Adjustment Wizard and set the trust level to Full Trust.
If you still continue to see the message, perform the following steps:
- Specify the computer name instead of the IP address as the project path.
- Configure the following in Internet Explorer:
- Click Tools > Internet Options in the Internet Explorer window.
- In the Security tab, select Local intranet zone.
- Click Sites.
- In the Local Intranet dialog box, click Advanced.
- Uncheck Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.
