Adding a new "Status" beside Pass, Fail, Blocked

[aostad]

I didn't say anything about "look and feeling" in my post as the post was already too long.

Anyhow, you may look at following file as an example. In my example the new status is called "conditional_pass".

Open testlink\gui\themes\default\css\testlink.css file in an editor and look for "render test result status" then use following example for your added test "Status":

.conditional_pass {
color: white;
background: #808000; /* hanah */
}

Look for "Execution & Results" in the same file and follow the example below:

div.conditional_pass {
background: #808000; /* hanah */
}

look for "execution tree coloring" and follow the example below:

span.light_passed, span.light_failed, span.light_blocked, span.light_not_run, span.light_not_available, span.light_unknown, span.light_conditional_pass{
color: black;
padding: 3px;
}

span.light_conditional_pass {
background: #FFEECC;
}


Hope I could answer your question.

Cheers,
Ali

Sorry. I did not pay attention to your question, so my previous post does not resolve your issue.

Unfortunately, I do not have answer to your question on top of my head. I have to dig out the code and find out how to change the color of test reslut status in "Test Result Matrix" page.

You may open a new post and ask people your question. Somebody, especially developers of testlink, should be able to answer your question right away.


Cheers,

I did all the described above and it works so thanks for helpfull information.

I do got one little issue my new status is shown as "black" color when I go to reports-> Test Results Matrix how can I set it to be the color of my choosing ?

BTW I use Testlink 1.8.3

Thanks for your help

I was able to set up the new test results status but as a result it broke my reports, the only report that works is in HTML, anyhow else have this problem or a solution?

TIA

I have now changed all you listed and everything works just fine except to small things.
The result table in the top of an executed test case has status "LOCALIZE: test_status_not_appl " in stead of "not applicable" and the report I specified has title "LOCALIZE: link_report_not_applicable_tcs"

Everywhere else the labels are correct.
Can you tell me where I went wrong?

Thank you very much, these explanations are very clear and they helped me.

But my new status is black in the "test result matrix". This is not the most important, thank you again for this help.

Result coloring in the Test Result Matrix:

file: gui/templates/results/resultTC.tpl

Around line 50 is where similar coding [with the desired color] would need to be applied to match your designated 'status_code' letter.

In which file i need to edit these above..

I am using V1.9.1.

[aostad]

After a couple years, I'm just back to visit my post here for adding a new "status" called "deferred" in TL1.9.3, which I consider as a test case management at my new job. I've followed steps and noticed there is a mistake. Well, I cannot say mistake as the instruction is for TL1.8.1, and there are lot of changes in the code of TL1.9.3.

Anyhow, if you're going to use the new release of TL, you need to apply following simple update:

In testlink/local/en_GB/strings.txt file, you need to change:
$TLS_link_report_conditional_pass_tcs = "Conditional Pass Test Cases";

to:
$TLS_link_report_conditional_pass = "Conditional Pass Test Cases";

Otherwise the text in report page looks like:
LOCALIZE: link_report_conditional_pass

[fman]

NEVER DO CHANGES on system files use always custom* files

[aostad]

What you're saying that we can put this line in custom_config.inc.php instead of adding to string.txt?
$TLS_link_report_deferred = "Deferred Test Cases";

I don't think it works.

[aostad]

Sorry. You're right. I've not noticed there are custom files like string_custom.txt or testlink_custom.txt. I've already made a lot of changes in system files. It looks like I have to start restoring them to original and use custom files.

Adding custom files to the application is a good idea.

Thanks,
Ali

Hi As mentioned above changes, am able to add the new status in execution status along with pass,fail...
but its not reflecting in the mysql database.
is anything more we need to do....?

@sn82w

It is not clear, in your previous two posts, what all was changed to support the new status. There are several files that need modification, so look back from the start [there are two pages, so start from page 1] of this thread for the posts made by aostad, and ensure those were followed. Post again if needed.
