    XL TestView 1.4.0 upgrade notes

    Upgrade Java version

    XL TestView 1.4.0 requires Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8. Java 7 is no longer supported.

    Configuration changes

    The configuration property xlt.elasticsearch.data is deprecated and now ignored. The original property would only relocate the test results data directory but not the configuration data. XL TestView now has a configuration property xlt.data that can be used to relocate both the test results and configuration data. The test results and configuration data directories will be created beneath this directory. This way it is possible to move all data outside the normal program directory.

    Karma test result parser

    The Karma test result parser now includes the "classname" property in its hierarchy. This makes the (Jasmine) tests read more like sentences.

    API changes

    REST API

    A public REST API is now available for managing projects, managing test specifications, and importing test results.

    The endpoint /api/v1/qualifications?testSpecification=[id] has been deprecated. Use /api/v1/projects/[project-id]/testspecifications/[test-specification-id]/qualifications instead.

    Importing tests with duplicate names no longer allowed

    XL TestView has to be able to uniquely identify tests over time in order to do reporting and qualification. Therefore it enforces the fully qualified test names (a.k.a. "hierarchy") to be unique when importing test results.

    If you're using a test tool that allows duplicate naming, ensure that fully qualified test names are unique.

    Test results that have already been imported are left untouched.

    Important: make sure this is not an issue before you upgrade.

    Event structure

    The 'source' property in functional test results has been renamed to ciSource. This property is set when importing data from Jenkins via the XL TestView Jenkins plugin.

    TestRunsRepository

    The new method boolean hasTestRuns(String testSpecificationName) returns true if the given test specification has at least one complete test run.
