Git and the new DataVersion implemented by 14.60

We recently upgraded to 14.60 and noticed that the variables are now saved as String (Human-Readable) values instead of having them in Hex (how 14.30 saved variables). I opened a ticket with SmartBea...

    Thank you, Marsha, for advice!

     

    wmtan01 here's the official answer from Support on this - I got it from your ticket:

    I was told that these options will not be possible at this time. For now, the only option for updating the values in Git would be to resolve the conflicts as they come up.

Would it work to get the whole project out of Git at once and then just commit it again?  

 

If it was me, I would just do the "conversion" as it happens to the files I'm working with.  We tend to work with the same kwts for awhile and then switch to others, right?  The big commit would only come once for each of those, and then happen again only when we start working with some other kwts.  Spread it out instead of trying to force it all at once.

For us to do the brand new git commit, we would still need a way to trigger the conversion to all files which TestComplete does not provide. The only way would be to do a "change" in each file, and hit save inside the UI.

 

Yes, we've been doing it as we go along but as we make PRs for changes, there are changes that are due to this conversion rather than actual change into the KWT.

    What's a PR?  And how is that an issue?

      A Pull Request. It's not really an issue, it's something that comes up when we're doing reviews that we tend to look at changes that are not really changes at all to the functionality

        "Change triggered by TestComplete.  Please ignore."  😁
