External Tools Settings

Expecco may use external programs to provide additional functionality. This dialog allows for the configuration of which executable is used in particular.

Shell (Win32 only)

Specify the program which is used to execute shell scripts. Notice, that under the Windows operating system, a UNIX bourne/korn-shell compatible shell has to be installed (for example as part of the cygwin package). This is only needed if your test suite includes script actions which are written in the UNIX shell command language and your test suites are required to run unchanged under both Windows and UNIX operating systems. Therefore, in most cases, this setting is not required.

HTML Viewer

Specify the program which is used to display the online help documents. By default, the configured web-browser (typically: firefox) is used. For security reasons, it is recommended to use Firefox or Safari as opposed to Internet Explorer.

PDF Viewer

Specify the program which is used to display generated report documents. By default, the configured pdf-viewer (typically: acrobat reader) is used.

Text Editor

Specify the program to edit text attachments. Useful Linux/Unix settings are "xterm -e vi %1" or "xterm -e emacs %1". By default, a builtin text editor is used.

CSV Editor

Specify the program to edit CSV attachments. A useful Linux/Unix setting is "/opt/libreoffice/bin/office %1" or any other excel-alike calculator. By default, a builtin text editor is used.

Workspace Mode

Choose between basic eXpecco mode and advanced Smalltalk modes. The basic mode has less features presented in its menu and buttons, and might therefore be better for beginners.

Used Inspector

Choose between basic and advanced Inspector tool. The Inspector is used to show the contents of data objects and of pin values. The advanced version offers more options, but is considered to be experimental.
