Now, Rational Functional Tester finds the image object, activates the window that contains the object for comparison, and then compares the objects for image verification points.
TP-83126PH47263Previously, when you recorded a Web UI test, the test generation failed occasionally with NullPointerException. Also, the mobileApplications.json and mobileTestList.json files were not created in the C:\ProgramData\IBM\RFT\configuration folder. This problem is fixed.
TP-83150PH47297Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, the test step that contained the Choose File action failed as the UI control was not correctly recognized. This problem is fixed.
Now, the default value of the "functional.tester.html.playback.async" variable is set to ‘true’ in the <Install_Directory>\FunctionalTester\bin\ivory.properties file.
TP-83164 Previously, when you removed or moved the arguments in the Custom Code (JavaScript) step of a Web UI test, the test steps were not updated correctly. This problem is fixed.
TP-83179PH47368Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the simplified script, all the image verification points of a window were displayed with the same name in the unified report. As a result, it was difficult to identify the images of failed verification points. This problem is fixed.
Now, Rational Functional Tester displays image verification point names in the following format:
Verify Image <window_name> <verification_point_type> <property_name>
TP-83230PH47465Previously, the unified report opened an empty page when you clicked the data grid verification point step under the Details pane. This issue occurred for data fields in the table with multiple horizontal and vertical headers. This problem is fixed.
TP-83334PH47616Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, the test failed if the application under test had multiple browser windows to be opened during the test run. This problem is fixed.
Now, the multiple browser windows are opened correctly by the ensureObjectIsVisible() method.
TP-83370PH48572Previously, when you ran a Web UI test in Google Chrome with the Allow recording after playback option enabled, the test failed with a fatal error. This problem is fixed.
Now, Rational Functional Tester activates the recording script to add test steps only after the playback is complete.
TP-84022 Previously, when you ran a Web UI test with an associated dataset, the test failed to read all the rows and stopped after completing a few iterations. This problem is fixed.

IDAPARDescription
TP-80677PH43492
Previously, if you ran a test that contained Japanese characters in the table data verification points and you switched between different verification points in the unified report, then the report added duplicate rows.
This problem is fixed.
TP-79119PH41487Previously, the shared but unassociated datapools from functional test projects, which were created in the older version of Rational Functional Tester, did not display in the workbench after you opened the projects in the newer version.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81455PH42369
Previously, when you ran a functional HTML test by using the Web UI engine and if browser profiles for Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome were not selected in Preferences, then the default profile with specific settings was loaded. The home page that was set on the default profile was displayed before the actual Application Under Test (AUT) was loaded.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if the browser profiles are not selected in Preferences, the test is run on a temporary profile.
TP-81410PH44313

Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine in the Edge browser, the selection of list items by using the click(atText("text")) event in the combo box or list box failed. This problem is fixed.
Now, you can use the following events to capture user actions in the combo box or list box:

  • .click(atText("anyText Which is in control"))
  • .select(index_val)
  • .select("anyText which is in control")
TP-81870PH45019
Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine in the Edge browser, the browser driver continued to run in the background even after the test failed.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if the test fails, the browser and driver get closed.
TP-80893PH43771
Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, text_area_control.getProperty("disabled") returned 'false' even when the attribute of the textarea element was set to "disabled" (true).
This problem is fixed.
Now, the function returns the correct value for any of the following attributes in the HTML tag:
  • disabled
  • disabled="disabled"
TP-68052PH45287
Previously, when you ran a functional test using Web UI engine and clicked at a specific point in a control within a frame, the click action was performed somewhere on the frame and not at the specific point.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if co-coordinates for each of the specific points are given in the script, the click action is performed at that point in the control.
TP-82190PH45379
Previously, when you ran a functional test, the data verification points captured the JavaScript code along with the data displayed for controls.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if you add the flag "ft.html.text.skipscripttag=true" in ivory.properties file, which is located in the Rational Functional Tester installation directory, the JavaScript code is filtered out from the result captured by the verification points.
TP-80839PH43761
Previously, when you ran scripts that referenced data grid verification points with vertical headers, and clicked the test steps in the unified report, the unified report crashed.
This problem is fixed.
TP-78322PH40408
Previously, when you record a functional test by using Java 9 or later, the controls were incorrectly identified that resulted in the verification points to be incorrectly captured.
This problem is fixed.
TP-82146PH45405
Previously, when you started to record a Web UI test or run a Web UI test and if the browser driver was incompatible, Rational Functional Tester prompted you to download the compatible driver by using a link, which did not initiate the download when clicked.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81492PH44388
Previously, when you tested whether the non-HTML application exists and if this application did not open at that time, then the functional test failed with the ObjectNotFoundException error. Additionally, Rational Functional Tester displayed the following error message in the report:
"TopLevelTestObject.exists fails with ObjectNotFoundException"

This problem is fixed.
Now, when you run a test, if the application under test and the associated object are not found, then Rational Functional Tester continues to the next step in the script, and completes the test.
TP-80938 
Previously, when you selected the Running Browser Instance option in Rational Functional Tester, and used Google Chrome to record a Web UI test, the jQuery library was not detected, and the jQuery buttons were identified as standard HTML buttons.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81316 
Previously, if a step description in the unified report contained special characters such as /n, /r, or /t, then the export of the report to the PDF format failed as these special characters are not supported by the PDFBox framework.
This problem is fixed.
Now, the special characters are replaced with an empty string before the export of the report.
TP-81713 
Previously, when you used the Xpath property in the user action details of a Web UI step to identify a control within a frame, a timeout error was displayed.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81749 
Previously, if a test name contained a comma, then the export of the unified report failed due to the presence of the comma in the file name.
This problem is fixed.
Now, the comma is replaced with a hyphen in the exported report file name.

IDAPARDescription
TP-79157PH41289
When you used the atDescendant API in test scripts to test newer versions of Eclipse, the Eclipse shell might not get recognized correctly. This is because the TableTree controls that were previously deprecated in Eclipse are no longer available in the latest Eclipse versions. Hence, the tool ran into a problem recognizing controls in Eclipse.
This problem is fixed.
Rational Functional Tester correctly handles the absence of the deprecated class and can recognize controls during the playback of such test scripts.
TP-78267 Previously, when you proceeded to run a Web UI test on a browser that had an incompatible driver on your computer, the test failed to run and you were not able to attempt another test run. Now, when you select a browser to run a Web UI test, you are warned if an incompatible driver is found for the browser and you can only proceed if you download and install the driver that is compatible with the selected browser.
TP-78345 Previously, on Windows, the node js process did not start automatically along with the UI Test Agent on the installation of the product or when you restarted your computer. This issue occurred when the environment variable WEBDRIVER_CHROME_DRIVER_MOBILE was added to the system. This environment variable is used to add the supported Chrome driver while you run a Web UI test on an Android mobile.
This problem is fixed.
TP-78810 
Previously, when you attempted to install Rational Functional Tester by using Installation Manager on a shell that already had the Rational Performance Tester Agent installed, the Rational Functional Tester installation failed.
This problem is fixed.
