Re: Lightweight Scripting of Datetime Fields in JSON Responder
Hi Alex,
If you are using version 9.10.2 of Virtualize, then we added a tool called the Data Generator Tool that you can use to generate timestamps in that manner without scripting.
In prior versions of the tool, you will need to script the field to send the current date. If you are using javascript, then the following script should work for you:
function time(){ return new Date().toISOString(); }
Hope this helps!
Re: Jtest code in eclipse
Jtest 9 builds test cases that require Jtest libraries in order to run. It does not build test cases that use Mockito. Instead if you switch to Jtest 10, then you will be able to build maintainable test cases that run on their own without any Parasoft dependencies. The test cases built by Jtest 10 use Mockito for mocking.

Re: Jtest code in eclipse
@subratdash8 : JTest 9.3 is a pretty old version. If you generate tests using this version, you will have to use older maven/ant plugins to integrate with CI/CD process. How far have you advanced in using the JTest 9.3? JTest 9.x product line is not designed to submit data to SonarQube.
The good news, the new JTest line of products which is giving you ability to not only create pure JUnits but also easily integrate with your CI/CD pipeline and publish results to a more advanced reporting and analytics ecosystem (DTP). Check out this awesome blog post from @Mark Lambert : https://blog.parasoft.com/why-people-hate-unit-testing-and-how-to-bring-back-the-love

Re: Jtest code in eclipse
@subratdash8 : Which JTest version are you using? This is a very important piece of information we need to determine your next steps. Second question is what is the purpose of using SonarQube here? Display of test results and coverage in a dashboard? Correct?

Rename the file from .pvn to .tst. Can't say if this will always work in the future but for now that should work.
Re: How are authors/users defined in DTP server with regards to violations?
Byron,
To be more exact, we should differentiate between author and assignee of a violation.
1) Author of a violation is not editable. The author of a violation is defined in the xml report generated by the engine.
2) Assignee of a violation is editable. It can be one of the following:
a) other authors of violations for the project
b) members/leaders of the project
The reason DTP allows b) is explained in the following scenario. Suppose you have 10 members on the team. But only one member has a violation. So, DTP will only know about 1 author. In order to allow assignment to other people on the team, those people should be added as members or leaders to the project.
Finally, regarding why you see bphung and Byron Phung... it means that those names were introduces as authors of a violation through XML report and/or added as members/leaders to a project. You will want to go over the setup in engines and DTP.
Re: How can I use an XPATH with a parameterized value in a rest call
It looks like you have a syntax error in your parameterization:
/:partList/part[][partType=7][{$numberOfWidgets}]/location[1]/text()
There should be a curly bracket after the dollar sign: ${variable}
Please note that when using the ${ } syntax in your DataBank xpath, the xpath may not evaluate successfully in the result window, but it will parameterize as expected during run time.

Re: Using the results of writeable Datasources in REST request payloads
No, you cannot specify a row number when configuring a parameterized value.
Rather than creating one XPath that matches on the 6 child nodes - which results in all values getting written into the same column - I would try creating a unique XPath for each child that then will result in each value getting written into a separate column. Then you will be able to parameterize each child of your next request with a different column.

Re: Using the results of writeable Datasources in REST request payloads
I believe you have to create a separate column in the Data Source for each value. thx
