Execute : General Questions

[omayer]

Error returned "project is configured as dll and no execution command is specified. you can specify ....project options".
--- How do i run individual .cs file from Test module Library w/out creating the SuiteProject, is it possible ?
---Is any other way instead of keep removing and adding the reference Module library's dll when I update the module library file.

Hi!

For your first question, do you have a TestSuite Project or a TestSuite Module Library.
If you have a Module Library, you can't execute it because it's a library (but you can change the output type within project properties, tab Application, Output Type).

Regarding your individual.cs file, it is possible to add a file from outside to a solution. To execute for example a main class within your individual.cs file, open the project properties (right-click on your project), open the Application tab, select your main class for Startup Object.

To update your referenced module library, click right on the reference and select Refresh.

Hi!

We found a problem on refreshing a reference - we will fix this bug. Until this bug is fixed, you can do this with a workaround: Build your library, after that build your solution (clean and build) where the library is referenced. That should solve the problem and refresh the reference.

Regarding your first problem - I'm not sure what you are trying to do.
Let me try to explain:
If you have a Test Suite Module Library and you want to execute it (normally, because the output is a Library, you can't execute it), you have to
[*] right click on your project in project browser (screenshot 1) and select properties
[*] Select Console Application for the Output type. (screenshot 2)
[*] Save this

If you want to execute your own main function within your own cs file, you have to
[*] right click on your project in project browser (screenshot 1) and select properties
[*] select your own class as Startup Object (screenshot 3)
[*] Save this


Hope that helps, if not, please tell me in more detail what exactly are you trying to do

Best Regards,

Ok

What about the workaround for refreshing a reference.
- Build your library, after that build your solution (clean and build) where the library is referenced.

Is it working with this workaround or is it only possible to do with your workaround, removing and re-importing the library?

Thank you,

Ok,

I will come back to you on this when refreshing is working. Meanwhile, please do it with the workaround removing/adding the library.

Sorry for that, we are working on it.
