Test Name in TestComplete 9.2!!! Hi, I've been using TestComplete and SpiraTeam RemoteLauch together for more than Year and it had been working fine using TestComplete 8. After updating to TestComplete 9.2 and using the extenstion provided by Inflectra for the new version, Unable to work inisitate the execution throw SpiraRemoteLaunch!!! We are getting an status as Blocked after the execution!!! when we went into the Blocked status, able to find a error message stating Unknown Test Name. Have done much research on this failures, but could not identified the root case of the issue...so can you please help me on this Sun, 21 Apr 2013 07:29:38 -04002019-03-07T01:34:37-05:00/Support/Forum/remotelaunch/automation-engines/568.aspxthreadId=35David J (support1@inflectra.com)Running Selenium scripts Hi, I want to integrate Spira with Selenium. Is there possibility to run scripts generated by Selenium IDE without manualy editing them?

On page 59 it says "Note: that the SoapUI engine doesnGÇÖt currently support the passing of parameters to an automated SoapUI test script" However, on page 61, it explains how to use parameters and says "Note that the plugin currently only supports GÇ£Project PropertiesGÇ¥ and not Global or System Properties." If project properties are in fact supported, Can you explain how the naming works? Creating parameter in SpiraTeam called login for example makes a parameter named "${login}". So, in SoapUI, which name am I supposed to use when creating the parameter login or ${login}?

Selenium1.dll 2. ThoughtWorks.Selenium.Core.dll I then start the Selenium Server by running the following in a command-line: java -jar selenium-server.jar Not sure if I am doing this correctly, but it works. Both Attached and Linked Test Cases run through with no issues, except at the end of the Test Set the Spira RemoteLauncher Closes and the Selenium Server Hangs. Nothing in the logs reference this occurrence. On another note, I also have to remove the entire line that refers to <head profile=... in order to make the Selenium Test Case HTML files run without errors. Thanks in Advance.

Once saved, I don't seem able to edit this filename. As it is a typed field that must exactly match details from another system (SoapUI in this case), it is errorprone. I tried to delete the attachment (from the attachments tab), which seemed to succeed, but when I went back to the automation tab, the filename was still populated and unable to be edited. I also wonder what the affect of deleting this attachment will be?

While the cmd window is open, SpiraTeam does not recognise the test run. If the window is closed manually, SpiraTeam will be updated and report the results of the test run. As the whole point is to automate testing, this manual intervention is not viable. Is there a fix/workaround/setting, please?

We are currently using XStudio for our automated test execution and result reporting; and for automation, it is an amazing tool. It has an open launcher that can be customized for whatever you need and it works great. However, we find XStudio lacking on the manual test/requirements side and we've decided to use SpiraTest for all that. Is there any way to create a custom engine for RemoteLaunch? I would like to possibly get everything into one tool, but we have a custom automation framework solution that sits on top of Selenium RC. I am sure that your default Selenium RC launcher won't work with our framework. Our framework is more of a java framework that just uses Selenium for the automation actions; all our scripts are self executable java files. We also have custom startup and teardown functionality, as well as custom pass/fail/warning code, etc. Would it be possible to customize an engine to work with our framework or are the standard engines you offer the only ones that will work with RemoteLaunch?Wed, 12 Dec 2012 21:22:52 -05002012-12-14T14:44:10-05:00/Support/Forum/remotelaunch/automation-engines/449.aspxthreadId=494David J (support1@inflectra.com)Selenium Engine - Selenium 2 presents error every time I am trying to run a test using the Selenium 2 Engine included in your zip.

Since, there are no testcases defined on the initial testset, is there a way to create testcases for the testset on the server, within a custom extension? Once this is done, the results of each testcase, defined in the testscript, can be uploaded to the corresponding testcases that were just generated on the spira server. I could make calls over the rest api to acheive this. However, if the functionality exists natively already; I would prefer that route. Also, where is the documentation for the SDK?
