Dec 30th 2011

There will be one blog from now on so i merged the content of cycleaustralia.blogspot.com adventurtures-of-a-slite-300.blogspot.com to emeraldjava.blogspot.com, it was quite easy once i found the blogspot import export tool. Added the next 7 bhaa event and story details to glfusion. Having some trouble trying to create a function on the mysql instance on the mac. And the Rover decided it didn't want to start this evening, so the plan evening run in dublin had to be cancelled.

Monthly Km's

Details of the monthly km's ran in 2011. The plan is to update the 2012 details here. September sticks out like a sore thumb with the madness of wisdom tooth removal.

RaceTec Notes

A Race can have multiple events, each event has race numbers, splits, categories

Splits/Laps

Waves - gun start, seeding and batches.

Teams

Gun Time - time of finish line read
Net Time - finish - start time. In event setup set finish time = net time option.

RFID Ultra Notes

Modes

• Start - reads chip once per second. 1 second gating.
• Finish - reads 30 times per second with signal strength identify best time

Gating

• Per Reader - two times from reader
• Per Box - Single first read time only
• First Time Seen

Git on a USB Stick

Having loads of hassel the with git, ssh and https access to github.com, so i decided to setup git on a usb stick. I can work away during the day and synch to github at night.

I followed this tutorial

http://swoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/setting-up-git-offline-work-via-usb.html

And these are the basic commands i ran.

TestLinkAPI missing custom fields

I have this sample program using the TestLinkAPI v1.9.2-2. I want to return the list of custom fields for a TestLink projects test cases.

package testlink;

import br.eti.kinoshita.testlinkjavaapi.TestLinkAPI;
import br.eti.kinoshita.testlinkjavaapi.TestLinkAPIException;
import br.eti.kinoshita.testlinkjavaapi.model.TestCase;
import br.eti.kinoshita.testlinkjavaapi.model.TestSuite;
import br.eti.kinoshita.testlinkjavaapi.util.Util;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *        http://testlinkjavaapi.sourceforge.net/sample1.html
 */
public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );

        String url = "http://xx/testlink/lib/api/xmlrpc.php";
        String devKey = "xx";
        TestLinkAPI api = null;

        URL testlinkURL = null;

        try
        {
                testlinkURL = new URL(url);
        }
        catch ( MalformedURLException mue )
        {
                mue.printStackTrace( System.err );
                System.exit(-1);
        }

        try
        {
                api = new TestLinkAPI(testlinkURL, devKey);
        }
        catch( TestLinkAPIException te)
        {
                te.printStackTrace( System.err );
                System.exit(-1);
        }

        System.out.println(api.sayHello());
        System.out.println(api.getTestProjectByName("xx"));
        TestSuite suite = api.getFirstLevelTestSuitesForTestProject(new Integer(1))[0];
        TestCase[] testcases = api.getTestCasesForTestSuite(suite.getId(), true, null);
        for(int c = 0;c

The exported xml output from TestLink for the suite is

But the program output is

Hello!
TestProject [id=1, name=Touchpoint, prefix=TP, notes=, enableRequirements=true, enableTestPriority=true, enableAutomation=true, enableInventory=true, isActive=true, isPublic=true]
Install
TestCase [id=3, name=Import Indexes, testSuiteId=null, testProjectId=null, authorLogin=null, summary=null, steps=[], preconditions=null, testImportance=null, executionType=null, order=100, internalId=null, checkDuplicatedName=null, actionOnDuplicatedName=null, versionId=2, version=null, parentId=2, customFields=[], executionStatus=n]
n
[]
TestCase [id=5, name=Import Models, testSuiteId=null, testProjectId=null, authorLogin=null, summary=null, steps=[], preconditions=null, testImportance=null, executionType=null, order=101, internalId=null, checkDuplicatedName=null, actionOnDuplicatedName=null, versionId=2, version=null, parentId=2, customFields=[], executionStatus=n]
n

There are no Custom Fields listed.

Testlink Automated Tests

Looking at how to define automated test cases within the TestLink tool this morning so I installed v1.9.3 painlessly. As per chapter 4 of the Jenkins TestLink Plug-in: The Definitive Guide the trick is to define and assign a 'Custom Field' to record the java class name or testng suite. Since we're not using jenkins I'll probally follow the basic steps and use http://code.google.com/p/testlink-api-java-client/ to pull the details from Testlink within my bamboo build.

In the testlink/config.inc.php update the following settings to enable the API and enable test automation


/** XML-RPC API availability (disabled by default) */
$tlCfg->api->enabled = TRUE;

/* [Test Executions] */
// ENABLED -> enable XML-RPC calls to external test automation server new buttons will be displayed on execution pages
// DISABLED -> disable
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->enable_test_automation = ENABLED;

jaudiotagger logging levels

To quickly disable the verbose the logging from the jaudiotagger library just set this at the start of your program.

Logger.getLogger("org.jaudiotagger").setLevel(Level.OFF);
