Rapise Settings Dialog

Purpose

Use the Rapise Settings dialog to change global options. Your changes will apply to all tests.

How to Open

Use the Settings > Global menu item.

Global Settings

Misc

• SplashScreen: A splash screen is an image that appears while a program initializes. The Rapise splash screen looks like this:

  

  Set SplashScreen to False to prevent the splash screen from appearing.

API

• API Callback Timeout: Defaults to 10000. This is the number of milliseconds to wait when performing Before-Request and After-Response REST Callbacks. The timeout applies to each callback call individually.
• Generate Full Name: If 'Record REST Objects' is true:
  • true: Generates a long name for objects and variables, e.g., 'Libraryinformationsystem_Login'
  • false: Generates a short name, e.g., 'Login'
• Generate Short REST Path: If 'Record REST Objects' is false:
  • true: Generates a short path, e.g., 'RESTDef.rest'
  • false: Generates a full path, e.g., '%WORKDIR%/SubTest/RESTDef.rest'. This may be needed when you have .rest definition files with the same name in your framework.
• Record Failed REST Actions: If true, then if a recorded REST action fails, DoExecute(...,true) is generated. This ignores the response code, allowing the generated test to pass.
• Record REST Objects: Generates an object for each REST request.
  • true: An object is added to the Object Repository for each request. It is then initialized using var <request_object_id> = SeS(<request_object_id>).
  • false: No object is added to the object tree. Each request is initialized as var <request_object_id> = /**RESTRequest*/Session.GetRESTRequest('<definition>.rest', '<request_id>'). This approach makes it easier to generate reusable functions for REST calls without needing to load objects. See Session.GetRESTRequest.

API Proxy Settings

• Proxy Enabled: Activates the proxy settings listed below. By default, it is false.
• Proxy Host: The host name or IP address of a proxy server.
• Proxy Port: The proxy port number.
• Proxy User Name: The name of a user for logging into the proxy server.
• Proxy User Password: The password for a user to log into the proxy server.

If no proxy is specified, Rapise uses the operating system's settings. Proxies can also be set at the session, REST, or SOAP request level.

Debugger

• Optimize Call Stack: If True, redundant information is removed from the call stack view. See also Call Stack View Optimization.

• Remember Debugger Layout: If True, Rapise remembers the window layout for debug mode separately. For example, this may be useful if you want to work full screen while authoring a test and half-screen when debugging. This allows the AUT and the Rapise debugger to fit on the screen.

Execution

• JSEngineType: Sets the preferred JavaScript Engine (one of Default, Node, WScript), where Default means Node.

Settings

• Always use Test.sstest: Defaults to False. If set to True, the test file name is Test.sstest rather than <test folder name>.sstest. This may be useful in rare cases when your testing framework has a deeply nested structure, you have very long file names, and need to fit within the 260-character Windows MAX_PATH limit.
• AutoReloadModifiedFiles: If set to True, any files modified outside of Rapise are automatically reloaded within Rapise.
• Confirm Object Removal: Prompts for confirmation when deleting an object from the Object Tree.
• DefaultFolder: Specifies where new tests are stored before you explicitly save them. The location is relative to the Rapise executable.
• Default Scripting Language: JavaScript, RVL, or Ask.
• LoadLastTestOnStartup: If set to True, Rapise opens the last test you worked on and saved. If set to False, Rapise creates a new test named MyTest<#>, where <#> is an integer. A folder for MyTest<#> is created in the folder specified by the DefaultFolder option.
• NormalizeFileName: If set to True, files are referred to (in the *.sstest file) using a path relative to the *.sstest file. Otherwise, their absolute path is used.

• RecentTests: The maximum number of recent files to display in the Recent Tests list. To view the Recent Tests list, open the Application Menu:

  

• ShowCommonFileAliases: This is a legacy setting, not needed since Rapise 6.0.

• Enable Execution Monitor: Specifies whether the execution monitor dialog box is displayed during playback.
• ShowDashboardOnStartUp: If True, the Spira Dashboard opens automatically when Rapise is opened.
• ShowStartPageOnStartUp: If True, the Start Page opens automatically when Rapise is opened.
• Spira Integration: Enables all dialogs and menus for SpiraTest Integration.
• Temp Folder: The default folder for temporary tests.
• Test Auto Upgrade: If set to True, each opened .sstest file is automatically upgraded to the latest format.

Recorder

• FrameStyle: Specifies which frame to draw around objects when you Record, Learn, and Spy.

  The Basic frame is on the left and the Modern frame is on the right:

  

• DefaultSpy: Specifies which of the various types of Object Spy is displayed by default.

• GenerateComments: Set to True to automatically generate a JavaScript or RVL comment for each recorded action.

Text Editor

• Convert Tabs to Spaces: Set to True to force tabs to spaces conversion in the text editor.
• Tab Size: The tab size for the editor.
