 You can also create a custom .properties file and pass it to the cpptestcliwith the -settings switch.  You can use the -settings switch multiple times to specify several .properties files. Entries with the same key will be overwritten.

cpptestcli -settings team.properties -settings project.properties -settings user.properties -config "builtin://Recommended Rules" -compiler gcc_3_4 -input cpptest.bdf
Info
titleFile path convention on Windows

Use double backslashes to specify file paths in the .properties file on Windows. For example:

configuration.dir.user=C:\\parasoft\\2018\\configs\\user

Info
titleConfiguring passwords

We highly recommend that you use encoded passwords to ensure successful authentication and increase the level of security; see Creating an Encoded Password.

Settings Hierarchy

General settings are applied in the following order: 

  1. [INSTALL_DIR]/etc/cpptestcli.properties: the base configuration file that should not be modified.
  2. [INSTALL_DIR]/cpptestcli.properties: the main configuration file you can use to specify your settings; it contains a list of basic configuration settings (license, reporting, etc.) you need to uncomment before configuring the setting's value.
  3. [USER_HOME_DIR]/cpptestcli.properties: for your convenience, you can store the configuration file in your home directory to overwrite settings from the [INSTALL_DIR] (for example, to ensure your settings are not affected by re-installations or updates).
  4. [WORKING_DIR]/cpptestcli.properties: for your convenience, you can store the configuration file in your working directory.
  5. Custom settings passed with the command line switch -settings path/to/settings.properties (e.g., -settings ../settings.properties).
  6. Custom settings passed with the command line switch -property [key=value](e.g. -property "report.mail.enabled=true").

All of the above settings can be overridden by settings that are passed with command line switches, such as -report, -config, etc.
