Post installation
Before you can start working with OpenText Functional Testing for Developers, make sure to perform the required tasks described in this section.
Note: This topic is relevant for stand-alone OpenText Functional Testing for Developers machines. If you are setting up a grid configuration, see Use a grid configuration.
Install a license
The initial installation includes a limited-time demo license that is valid for 60 days. When this license expires, you must install a valid license.
For more details, see Licensing.
Post installation tasks
Review the table below and, depending on your requirements, perform the necessary tasks.
If you plan to... | ...you need to | How? |
---|---|---|
Test Web-based applications |
Make sure the OpenText UFT Agent extension is enabled in your browser. |
For details, see Set up web browsers and controls. |
Test Java IBM applications | Modify the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable. | Set the value of the environment variable to
-agentlib:jvmhook -Dmic.enforce=ibm Note: To stop working with Java IBM and switch to working with Oracle Java or Zulu OpenJDK, remove |
Test Java applications, version 16 or later
|
Enable identifying Java test objects. |
Specify the following options when you run your Java applications:
You can specify these options in one of the following ways:
|
Work in Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite with an existing LeanFT Java project (Windows only) |
Update the library structure |
This task is only for Java projects that were created in Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite prior to LeanFT 12.53. For details, see Update projects created before LeanFT 12.53. |
Work with the JavaScript SDK |
Install the JavaScript SDK as a Node.js module, and install your testing framework. For details, see Setting up and working with the JavaScript SDK. |
|
Run tests from ALM on your computer (Windows only) |
Configuring the following DCOM settings may expose the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers computer to security risks: |
|
Set the required DCOM permissions for the Remote Agent and open the DCOM port (port 153). |
Open the command line and run <Installdir>\Tools\Remote Agent\LFTDcomPermissions.exe -set |
|
Configure the Remote Agent to allow ALM to run tests on your computer. |
Open <Installdir>\Tools\RemoteAgent\LFTRemoteAgent.exe.config in a text editor, and change <remoteAgent allowRun> to true. There are additional values that must be set in LFTRemoteAgent.exe.config before you run tests from ALM. For details, see Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). |
(Optional) Manually install the .NET templates
If the .NET SDK 5 or later is absent when you install OpenText Functional Testing for Developers, the templates for .NET 5 or later are not installed. If you later want to write tests in .NET 5 or later, you must install the relevant .NET SDK and then install the templates.
To install the templates, do one of the following:
-
Rerun the installation in repair mode.
-
Manually install the templates.
Note: ".NET 5 or later" refers only to versions supported by OpenText Functional Testing for Developers. See the Support Matrix for a list of supported versions.
The following sections include:
Prerequisites to installing the templates manually
-
Make sure .NET SDK 5 or later is installed
-
Make sure the following paths exist in the PATH environment variable:
-
For the 64-bit SDK: C:\Program Files\dotnet\
-
For the 32-bit SDK: C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\
If you keep both paths in the PATH variable, make sure the one that matches your SDK is earlier in the path.
Otherwise you will encounter error messages such as these:
The command could not be loaded, possibly because:
* You intended to execute a .NET application:
The application 'new' does not exist.
* You intended to execute a .NET SDK command:
No .NET SDKs were found. -
If you do not meet these prerequisites, trying to install the templates results in this error: "'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
To manually install the .NET templates for .Net 5 and later
-
Open a command prompt.
-
Run the following command:
Copy codedotnet nuget add source -n "UFTd" "%LEANFT_HOME%\SDK\DotNet\nuget"
This creates a local NuGet repository named UFTd that is used to resolve the UFTd package dependencies when new projects are created. The UFTd NuGet repository can also be used to install additional packages from the NuGet Package Manager.
-
Run the following command:
Copy codedotnet new install "%LEANFT_HOME%\SDK\DotNet\nuget\HP.LFT.StandardTemplates.<version>.nupkg"
This installs the .NET 5+ project templates.
To manually uninstall the templates
-
Open a command prompt.
-
Run the following command:
Copy codedotnet nuget remove source "UFTd"
This removes the local NuGet repository named UFTd.
-
Run the following command:
Copy codedotnet new uninstall HP.LFT.StandardTemplates
This removes the project templates.
