avoid embedding `helperscreenshot` in rxrecs

[Groostav]

Hey guys,

I was hoping to get the `helperscreenshot` and `icon` data out of the XML and into regular PNG/jpg/bmp files so that I might store them with git-lfs, both cleaning up my repo and cleaning up my pull requests (--as github will be able to generate previews if we use a standard file format).

Is this possible with an existing configuration option? Can you guys add it as one?

in this sense our pull requests would go from

Code: Select all

+modified-file something.rxrec

Hello Groostav,

At this time, it is not possible. I recommend creating a new feature request on our User Voice platform as I can see this being a useful feature.

In the meantime, you can remove the <helperscreenshot> and <icon> blocks as they are not required for test automation, but are merely for assistance with the development of your test. (Note, I only tested this briefly. I recommend testing more thoroughly if you plan to change this on a large scale.)

Cheers,
Ned
