In this section:
dotTEST can be configured with settings (see Configuration Settings) that should be specified in a .properties file. The basic settings are listed in the dottestcli.properties
file shipped in [INSTALL_DIR].
By default, most settings are disabled. Uncomment the settings you want to enable and specify the parameters. Modifying the properties file may require administrator access.
You can also create a custom .properties file and pass it to thedottestcli
with the -settings
switch. You can use the -settings
switch multiple times to specify several .properties files. Entries with the same key will be overwritten.
dottestcli.exe -solution "C:\Devel\FooSolution\FooSolution.sln" -settings "C:\Devel\Settings\dtp_server.properties" -settings "C:\Devel\Settings\email_server.properties" |
Use double backslashes to specify file paths in the .properties file on Windows. For example:
|
We highly recommend that you use encoded passwords to ensure successful authentication and increase the level of security; see Creating an Encoded Password. |
General settings are applied in the following order:
[INSTALL_DIR]/etc/dottestcli.properties
: the base configuration file that should not be modified.[INSTALL_DIR]/dottestcli.properties
: the main configuration file you can use to specify your settings that map contains templates for commonly used settings (license, reporting etc.).-settings path/to/settings.properties
(e.g., -settings "../settings.properties"
).-property [key=value]
(e.g. -property "report.mail.enabled=true"
).All of the above settings can be overridden by custom settings that are passed with command line switches (e.g. -report
, -config
).If you have dotTest 9.5 or later, settings can be prepared in Visual Studio and exported to a *.properties file.
Use the -showsettings
option to print the current settings and customizations, including the origin file for each configuration.
You can specify settings in DTP and configure your Parasoft tool to use the settings when it connects to DTP Server. This enables you to use the same settings across multiple machines and configurations to ensure consistency. Edit the following setting in the .properties
file to enable auto-configuration:
dtp.autoconfig=true |
Settings can be auto-configured for the entire organization or per project.
.properties
file..properties
and click Save.
