TP-79188

When you use the double quotation marks ("") for the labels or user comments options to run the test by using integration plugins, then the Labels in the test result or the User Comments row of a report do not include the double quotation marks.

The integration plugins that do not support double quotation marks ("") for the labels or user comments options are as follows:

  • Ant
  • Azure DevOps
  • MicroFocus ALM
  • UrbanCode Deploy
  • Jenkins
  • Maven

To work around this problem, you must create a command-line config file, and then run the test by using the config file option.
TP-71725 When you export the unified report as a PDF, if the text in a table contains the greater than symbol ">" in the unified report, the symbol is printed as "&gt" in the generated PDF.
TP-79833 In UI Test Statistical Report, if you select only the devices listed under the All Sources tab, then the test data for parameters, such as Step Performance, Transaction Performance, and Overall data are not displayed.
TP-79924 When you associated a test value with an encrypted dataset column, the setDatapool API does not set the data after the test run is complete. The setDatapool option must be applied to set the values of a non-encrypted dataset columns.
TP-73401

When you install the product by using the stand-alone installer on macOS Catalina 10.15.7, the product installation fails with an error message.

To work around this problem, you must set the Appearance option to Light under System preference before you install the product.
TP-72726

When you use a calendar dialog to select a value in an SAP transaction session and record the SAP test in your product, the Test Generation page and the Error Log page display a warning message.

The warning message states that the SAP calendar object has an unpredictable behavior when you play back the test and you must set the date in the value fields by using the string format.

Therefore, when you select the Hide GUI during execution option from the SAP Options tab in the Test Details section to play back the SAP test, the product is unable to create a calendar object. Hence the test run fails.

To work around this problem, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Open the SAP test.
  2. Perform the following actions to set the calendar date in a text format:
    1. Expand an SAP transaction, and then expand the test element (For example, IDoc List/WE05) that has the calendar control data.
    2. Select Set focus on <date>.
    3. Right-click the date from SAP Protocol Data, and then click Create Element.

      The Create Element page is displayed.

    4. Select Set text, and then enter the date in the Input value text field.
    5. Click Finish.
  3. Right-click the calendar control (For example, Calendar/WE05), and then click Disable to disable the test elements that have the calendar control.
  4. Save the changes, and then run the test.
TP-69141 When you install V10.1.2 of the product, you must decrypt and encrypt each dataset by using the CSV Editor to apply the strongest encryption on each dataset that you used in the earlier version of the product.
TP-68671 Using multiple monitors with workbench running on one monitor and browser on another for an extended view is not supported.
TP-67053 On Windows, there is an incompatibility between the version of Java packaged with the product (OpenJDK OpenJ9 V1.8.0_252) and AdoptOpenJDK14. To work around this problem, uninstall the AdoptOpenJDK14 product or remove it from the PATH before using the product.
TP-62667

When you install HCL OneTest™ UI V10.1.0 on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.0 and later, the installation fails with an error message.

To work around this problem, you must first install libnsl.so.1 on your computer for a successful installation of the product. Alternatively, you can create a soft link from libnsl.so.2 by running the following command on the command-line interface:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.2 /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1
TP-62444 After you import a Web UI project from Git to HCL OneTest™ UI workspace, when you execute the AFT suite from the command-line, the execution fails. This is because the Web UI project is not copied to HCL OneTest™ UI workspace and the workspace contains a reference only. To work around this problem, you must first copy the Web UI project to the workspace, and then execute the test.
TP-62264

When you start to record functional tests in 32-bit , the recorder window forces the active Mozilla Firefox browser to crash although this browser is not enabled to record tests.

To work around this problem, you must clear the default selection of the Auto enable applications for Record/Playback check box from the Windows > Preference menu, and then start recording functional tests.
TP-59612 You must install HCL OneTest™ UI V10.0.2 on Mac OS by using IBM® Installation Manager V1.9.1. For more information, see Product installation issues on Mac OS while using IBM® Installation Manager V1.9.

After playing back a script in HCL OneTest™ UI, a message such as the following is displayed in the console: The IBM Class Sharing Adaptor will not work in this configuration. You are not running on a J9 Java VM. This message is displayed because the version of Eclipse that is used in the IDE is from IBM and has the IBM Java optimizations enabled. To resolve the issue:

  • Navigate to the HCL OneTest™ UI Plugins Shared Folder.
  • Back up the com.ibm.cds plugin and delete it.
  • Restart HCL OneTest™ UI.
