ReadyAPI 2.0?
So has anyone gotten a chance to use it yet? What are your thoughts so far? I'm in the middle of preparing for a huge series of testing so I haven't upgraded yet.
Forum Discussion
Radford: Typically I do the same, but I'm also eager to see what it looks like and has to offer. I'm also hopeful it can solve some of the memory issues I routinely run into.
@msiadak I've heard on the webinar that it will be recorded. I think it usually takes a week or so before it is being shared based on the past ones I attended. Anyway, here's the link they shared: What's New in Ready API 2.0
@Radford I've checked the link they provided about Data Generator It seems they have a lot of types to choose from. Normally things can be upgraded but what happens when one opens the project saved in 2.0, using an older version would be a bit of a question mark on our end. Our client have a different version compared to ours already and it's not that easy to request people to upgrade or downgrade. We also have plenty of Groovy on our end.
Though I'm not the one directly working on it, I think it will take some getting used to adjusting to the new changes. The display for the test results and having the additional windows for properties look nice. I hope someone develops a plugin so that the results display on tiles can also be achieved with Jenkins results/reports. Let's just hope nothing breaks later on our existing projects ;-)
...sorry, I replied last night but for some reason, it only appeared on the email notification but not here on the thread.
Just to be clear, DataGen test step does work in 2.0 and is not removed yet. The warning is added to notify everyone that it will be removed eventually and give a time period to move to DataSource test step before that. Also, the fixes to issues in DataGen are unlikely since it is now deprecated and all uses cases (should) be covered by DataSource.
Hi IgorG,
Thanks for the clarification, it's good to know it's still usable.
While I understand the need to deprecate and remove obsolete features, it does not seem that the DataGenerator has a generic Groovy script option, like the DataGen step has. At the moment I don't see how to replace our uses of the DataGen step with the DataGenerator data source.
Radford Data Generator does not. However, DataSource itself does. Hopefully it would be enough. If its not, now would be a great time to raise an issue so that our developers know about it. :)
