how to execute a lisa test from eclipse? How can I invoke testRunner from eclipse?

[Legacy User]

I want to be able to run a lisa test (present on my system) by staging it on a remote server(where the reg, coor, sim are running) from eclipse.

How can I achieve that? TestRunner perhaps?

How can I invoke the test runner from within the java code in eclipse?

 

Thanks!

TestRunner should work.  How about something like this:

 

public class TestRunner {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

   String[] cmd = { "C:\\DevTest\\bin\\TestRunner.exe", "-u username", "-p password", "-m TestRegistryName", "-t multi-tier-combo.tst", "-a" };
   Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
   p.waitFor();
   }
}

Hi Josh,

 

I have a requirement to invoke my devtest testcase in  middle of my java scripts. I tried to use the above code.

Can you please let me know how can i get the response that the test is executed or passed?

 

Requirement2:

 

I have a bunch of testsuites. I need to trigger it with some batch job or some scheduler. How to achieve this.

 

Please help me in the above both 2 queries.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Josh,

 

My testrunner command is working fine in command prompt. But when I try to do the same with java code getting the error as Unknown Option. PFB the error. I am also getting the same error for -u -p even if i change my order of the parameters.

 

RETURN CODES:
0 : all tests passed
1..n : n tests failed (up to a max of 250)
253 : License failure
254 : No TestRegistry found
255 : Bad parameters

EXAMPLES:
Run the multi-tier-combo test with the default 1-user, 1-time staging document:
TestRunner -t LISA_HOME/examples/Tests/multi-tier-combo.tst

Run the suite AllTestsSuite locally:
TestRunner -s LISA_HOME/examples/Suites/AllTestsSuite.ste

Run the suite AllTestsSuite on a TestRegistry running on another machine (the registry will assign a coord server):
TestRunner -s LISA_HOME/examples/Suites/AllTestsSuite.ste -m somemachine/Registry
Exiting with exit code 255 (INTERNAL ERROR)
Here is the standard error of the command (if any):

unknown option: -t C:/KPN_GIT/test-automation/Tests/test_2.tst

Can you paste the Java code that you're using?

Thank you Josh,

 

Is there any other way? Am looking for something for which I don't need Lisa to be installed on my system.

Importing some lisa jars into eclipse is fine. The solution needs to be portable as an eclipse project.

Is there a way to get testrunner as a jar and execute it?

 

Thanks!

You could do this with the REST Invoke API to deploy a mar and then start a test - REST Invoke API - DevTest Solutions - 9.5 - CA Technologies Documentation

Thanks Josh,

 

I gave this a try and I am able to stage the test on a remote server.

The issue I am facing is that there is no information in lisa-invoke response about why a test failed. It just has number of pass/failures.

 

I started to write a java snippet in eclipse to trigger the testrunner through code using executeTestRunnerPlugin. It's still not able to run the test, am not sure what i am doing wrong here. Would you be able to guide here?

Here is a my java snippet----

 

import com.itko.lisa.coordinator.*;

 

TestRunnerConfiguration Config1 = new TestRunnerConfiguration();

    Config1.setTestRegistryName("tcp://***:2010/Registry");

    Config1.setCoordinatorServerName("tcp://***:2011/Coordinator");

    Config1.setHtmlReportPath("C:\\***\\myreport.html");

    Config1.setStagingDocument("C:\\***\\Run1User1Cycle.stg");

    Config1.setUser("***");

    Config1.setPassword("***");

    Config1.setAutoStart(true);

    Config1.setConfigFile("C:\\***.config");

    Config1.setTestDocument("C:\\***.tst");

    int status = com.itko.lisa.coordinator.TestRunner.executeTestRunnerPlugin(Config1, null);

    System.out.println("status is:::" + status);

 

I can see that the status returned is 0, but the test does not get executed.

 

Thank you,

I'm not sure if you've tried this or if it meets your needs, but you can pull back the report URL using this API call:

 

https://support.ca.com/cadocs/0/CA%20DevTest%20Solutions%208%200-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/Invoke/index.html#1394905159

 

As to why the code you wrote isn't working, I'm not sure off the top of my head unfortunately as I haven't used these classes myself.  You also may want to create an idea on the ideas page for the reporting information to be in the API response in the future.
