Clipboard copied Test Case description is lost without first editing/deleting character
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2018 1:29 pm
I mentioned in another buglette report that I was restructuring my test project, and that I was finding that the Description text for a Test Case or Smart Folder was being lost if you aren't careful. I've had to spend a lot of time today restoring umpteen lost test Descriptions so I've also noticed that copying a Description from one Smart Folder/Test Case to another is unreliable. I've reproduced it in a basic new project in Ranorex v8.2.
- Create a new Ranorex Project.
Edit the Description for the default "TestCase" that gets added to the new Test Suite - add a word or two, then press OK to save the change.
Add a new Test Case "Test2" to the Test Suite. This won't have a Description on it yet.
2x-click the Description the first "TestCase" to get to the General tab.
Select the text in the Description edit box and copy to the Clipboard. I just use Ctrl-C for this.
Close the "TestCase properties" dialog.
Now 2x-click the Description of "Test2".
On the General tab paste the copied text into the Description field - I used Ctrl-V for this operation.
Press OK and note that the pasted text does not appear in the Test Suite.
If you re-open "Test2 properties" the Description has vanished.
But if you paste in the copied text and press Backspace the once, it'll work fine.
