You may come across a situation where the base URL of your Spira instance has changed and the embedded image URLs no longer match. This will cause a broken image to display inside the various rich text editors in Spira. This article explains how you can use SQL to do a bulk update of the offending URLs.
When using some versions of Java with SpiraTest, SpiraPlan, SpiraTeam or KronoDesk you may get the following warning message when pasting in screenshots or images:
When I click to paste a screenshot attachment, get Java security warning (see screenshot) which says " Block potentially unsafe components from being run? Application: appSupa Java has discovered application components that could indicate a security concern. Contact the application vendor to ensure that it has not been tampered with" with options to Block and Unblock. "The application contains both signed and unsigned code".
This article is obsolete, due to the fact Java has been disabled for most of the browsers.
We have had some customers looking to upload files to Spira using our REST API. This article provides some sample code.
Automatic screenshots on every test step may occupy too much space. Learn how to make a screenshot on failure only.
When playing back a test it is useful to be able to capture the screen as its current state so that the cause of any test failures can be more easily deduced.
If a test is configured to capture screenshots during playback - Rapise puts then into Reports folder in the working directory of the test. If you want to copy screenshots to a different location or instruct Rapise to put images into a different folder - check out this article.
When you run Rapise automated tests using RapiseLauncher the system will automatically embed the images from Rapise into the various test cases and test run reports. By default the report format has relatively small images so that they can fit easily into the tables of expected result and actual results. However some users have asked for ways to make the images bigger.
Sometimes we need to disable screenshots for a while (during some long loop) or when doing some specific operations. Here we show how to do it.
