Re: [Firebird-test] Firebird testing tools for Windows

[Jeff J. - S. <J_...@MC...>]

Pavel,

I tried running the .bat file from the command window, and the behavior
is the same.  The only thing that shows up in the command window is:

QMTest running at http://127.0.0.1:1421/test/dir

It seems like there ought to be more output, but nothing appears.  The
browser stays open, and the command window does not close, and does not
return to the C: prompt.

Thanks for staying with me, I really appreciate it.

Jeff

So far so good.

Just to be sure, you did CREATE and then COPY, right? The qadbm.py tools
is very old (one from my first Python tools) and haven't very intuitive
interface (guess I'll rewrite it soon). The CREATE command creates the
destination directory and copies the QMTest subdirectory there. This
subdirectory in fact makes it a test database for QMTest. It contains
some configuration files and our extension classes for QMTest. The COPY
command just copies test files around.

Paths with spaces doesn't need to be escaped / enclosed in double
quotes. I'm not sure now whether they can hurt or not, but it should
definitely work without them. The server_location is correct.

Important thing: The qadbm tool doesn't copies support files like
databases or backup files when you create a working test database! It
somehow makes sense as they're shared. So you should point your context
entries for suite_database_location, backup_location and files_location
to directories where they really reside (in your SVN repository
checkout).

Well, something went wrong half-way through QMTest initialization. The
best way to find out what's wrong is to run this bat file from command
prompt. Just open the new console window, switch to your test database
directory and run the bat file from there. QMTest will prints all
messages to console, and this way it wouldn't close on you.
