If your workspace contains suppressions that were created with older versions of dotTEST, you may be prompted to convert suppressions in the deprecated XML-style format into in-file suppressions. Conversion has the following consequences:

  • Suppressions in the deprecated format are converted into plain text and saved in parasoft.suppress files located in the same location as the corresponding source file.
  • A backup file that contains suppressions in the deprecated format is created. The location of the file is printed to the console.
  • Suppressions in the deprecated format are removed from the workspace.

Suppressions associated with files that are not available the workspace are not converted. The list of unconverted suppressions is printed on the console.

If you should want to restore deprecated suppressions from the backup file:

  1. Close your IDE.
  2. Go to the location where the backup file is stored (the location is printed to the console). It contains a 'dottest' directory and a local_suppressions_backup.zip file.

  3. Remove the existing  'dottest' directory.

  4. Extract the contents of local_suppressions_backup.zip to the same location. A new 'dottest' directory that contains restored suppressions will be created.

You can re-migrate restored suppressions on next IDE startup.
