Re: TypeText "abcd" sometimes randomly repeat character(s)
That could help, but there's no definitive answer. I can say that Eggplant Functional is only sending the events that you have scripted -- it's the KVM that is producing the duplication. I guess I would start by increasing the Next Key Delay setting, although it's possible (although counterintuitive) that increasing the Key Down Delay could also have a beneficial effect.
Re: how to test F1, F2, F3 and etc as hotkey in a script?
As seen here under "Function Keys" (http://docs.testplant.com/ePF/using/epf-typetext-keywords.htm) it should just be
Typetext f5
Typetext f5

Re: Lengthen timeout value in ePM
Hi Dave, first of all, go to System Preferences>Miscellaneous in Eggplant Manager, and increase the maximum timeout value (ie. 600 for 600 minutes or 10 hours). Then restart Eggplant Manager. You can then edit the test that you expect to take longer than 180 minutes to run, and increase the timeout value accordingly.
Text Collaboration/Syntax Definition (a la Hydra)
Loving Eggplant as always, so here's another great idea - some text/collaboration functionality along the lines of Hydra ( http://hydra.globalse.org ), which allows:
-
Multiple users to view and edit the text of scripts[/list:u]
-
Syntax definition (indents, colorization, etc.) without embedding them in the source script file (which makes web viewing/text editing outside of Eggplant harder).[/list:u]
Hydra's freeware, but not open-source. Still, there may be some interesting things there for the farmers of Eggplant to consider in their next violet vegetable!
