Migration to new "execute external command" step [message #1743852]

hi there,

i tried to get rid of my execute external command steps (the old ones) and replace them withe the new ones but i didn't get how i have to set the parameters in the new step to get it running....

maybe you can give an example how a step and it parameters looked in the old version and how in will look like in the new version of the step.

here is a screenshot of the old version step in my case:
index.php/fa/27132/0/

how would this case look in the new version?

best regards
dominik

Hi Dominik,

I've forwarded this onto one of the team to take a look at, but in the meantime - did you check out the documentation already?
http://testing.bredex.de/files/content/software/documentation/reference/actions/usableOnMostApps/thatExecuteBehavior/executeExternalCommandOperatingSystem/actionExecuteExternalCommandOperatingSystem.html

(Apologies if you did Smile

)

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Dominik,

in the new version of Execute External Command you would simply have to split the arguments from the name of the executable. So for example on the old version you would have entered as a command: "cmd /C echo "Hello World!" whereas in the new version you have to enter the following parameters:

Executable: cmd
Arguments: /C echo "Hello World!"

Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Dominik,

there might currently be a bug when using directories with back slashes (e.g. in Windows) as an argument for the Directory parameter. Could you please try using the following as directory: "C:\\Windows\\System32\\" and if that is not working please try it without \\ at the end.

Best regards,
Kevin

EDIT: This actually is not a bug but all parameters with back slashes require escaped back slashes "\\". This information is missing in the documentation of Execute External Command and will be added.

You are actually using a command line like cmd.exe /c cmd /c <rest of your command. I am quite sure that this cannot work on Windows (cannot check because I have no Windows system nearby).

It looks like you entered the path with quotation marks and this might cause the problem.

I just tried the following configuration:
index.php/fa/27218/0/

and this is the test result:
index.php/fa/27217/0/

So that works perfectly fine for me. One other thing you can try is to run Jubula as Administrator. Maybe Jubula does not have the permission to access some of the files.

If that is not working, please upload the Jubula log files in a zip. You can find them by default at %USERPROFILE%/.jubula/logs.
