Remote Debugging with Squish IDE

Question

I want to do remote debugging of Squish application.

I am following document at: http://kb.froglogic.com/display/KB/Configuring+a+remote+squishserver for the same.

Step 1 and Step 2 went well, even I able to see the logs in terminal from remote application.

But, the debug point is not hitting in Squish IDE. Even the debug view shows nothing though I have done the exact steps given at Step 3, even restart of Squish IDE didn't help.

Answer 1

Whether or not Squish stops at a breakpoint (I suppose that's what you meant when you wrote "debug point") is independant of where the squishserver process is running. You can verify that the remote server is used simply by launching a test: you should see some output in the console where squishserver is started about incoming network connections.

Answer 2

When running squish remotely you could add the flag: "--reportgen xml3.3,xml3report" This will create a report with all the information about your run. You can then import this report into squshIDE and use "vpdiff" tool to analyze your failure.

There is a command line tool called "vpdiff" which comes in SQUISHDIR/bin. There is an article about it here: https://www.froglogic.com/blog/analysing-test-reports-from-automated-executions-using-the-squish-ide/
