Propagated component name becomes of 'unknown' type by some reason [message #1129187]

Hello Jubula team.

Jubula standalone version: 7.1.0

Could you please take a look ay the following problem - sometimes common component name (like nn_nn_text) obtains type 'Unknown' that leads to impossibility of using keywords with propagated component names, therefore it is required to drop current test db revision and return to previous version (at least a whole working day is lost).

1. Here is a screen where 'nn_TreeTable' became 'Unknown'
index.php/fa/16417/0/

2. Here is a screen where this component name is used.
index.php/fa/16418/0/

3. And here is an error when I insert real component name of 'TreeTable' type.
index.php/fa/16419/0/

Please note that all that has been working for monthes, and it is a second time to happen. Unfortunattelly I can not provide scenario of how reproduce the issue.

Hi there,

Thanks for the description, and sorry for the pain. I think that circumstances like this may happen when component names hierarchies have been "broken" (propagated, perhaps with renaming, and then propagation removed). I also don't know how to reproduce it though.

If it does happen again, then you could try looking for all places where the name is used (f7 in the component names browser) and seeing if you can find the place where it is unknown. Making changes to that test case, or checking that the hierarchy is correct may help you to fix the issue. Perhaps export / import would also help, but I'm not sure.

Keep us updated!
Alex

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks, I will try to use proposed attempts to fix the issue if it ever happens again (hope to be so lucky not use the workaround Smile

).
Maybe it makes sense for developers to take a look and fix such component state changing?
I think that it is not expected from GUI to break internal structure.

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alexandra,
The same issue happened again. Import/export did not help.
Trying F7 in component browser did not show the place where it is unknown.

Thanks, Alexander.

Hi,

I beleive that I found the way to fix the problem, at least component stopped to be of Unknown type and can be used now.
1. Export corrupted project.
2. Search corrupted component in xml dump. It will look like:
<componentNames><compType>guidancer.abstract.unknown</compType><GUID>a79efa110e31490cabeb0afa7ed13f30</GUID><creationContext>OVERRIDDEN_NAME</creationContext><refGuid xsi:nil="true"/><compName>nn_TreeTable</compName></componentNames>
3. Replace <compType>guidancer.abstract.unknown</compType> with proper class for component, in my case it is <compType>org.eclipse.swt.widgets.SwtTree</compType>.
4. Save and import modified xml to DB.

Hope it will help.
Thanks,
Alexander.
