#2 utconfig Prefix problem

[Harbinder]

Hello,
First of all, I love utplsql!

I learned about utplsql on my previous project. But they don't use it on my new project so I wanted to introduce it on my new project. I am trying to do setup and create some sample test packages. But the problem I am having is that most of our existing package names are already 30 character long. So when I run the test for any of those packages I get the below error. Is there any workaround for that? Please help. The error is:

ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.UTASSERT2", line 149
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.UTASSERT", line 49
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.UTPLSQL", line 426
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00114: identifier 'UT_30_CHARACTER_PACKAGE_NAME' too long

ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

Thanks,

You can place your test code directly inside your package. So you won't add prefix to package name. But in this case you have to add prefix to each individual test procedure/function inside your package. So you will have the same problem with individual procedures/functions names, if they also have "30 character" names.

Thanks much for quick reply! I was able to run the test package in the 'samepackage', I got the expected results, but I get this error on top of 'SUCCESS' or 'FAILURE' feed back. Please also explain what do I need setdir for ?

Please, look here: Auto compile feature
You need to turn off autocompile.

Great! Thanks again!
