External Tools Settings[Bearbeiten]

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)[Bearbeiten]

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. If unspecified, the default shell (value of the "SHELL" environment variable, in the shell environment) is used.

Therefore, in most cases, this setting is not required.

Ruby Path[Bearbeiten]

Specify which ruby interpreter to use for Ruby Elementary blocks. By default, the ruby command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "ruby" on the command line). Of course, you have to have ruby installed on your machine. If unspecified, the value of the "RUBY_SHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any Ruby Elementary blocks.

Python Path[Bearbeiten]

Specify which python interpreter to use for Python Elementary blocks. By default, the python command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "python" on the command line). Of course, you have to have python installed on your machine. If unspecified, the value of the "PYTHON_SHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any Python Elementary blocks.

Node.js Path[Bearbeiten]

Specify which node.js interpreter to use for Node Elementary blocks. By default, the node command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "node" on the command line). Of course, you have to have ruby installed on your machine. If unspecified, the value of the "NODEJS_SHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any Python Elementary blocks.

GnuplotPath[Bearbeiten]

Specify which gnuplot interpreter to use for Plot/Graph Elementary blocks. By default, the gnuplot command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "gnuplot" on the command line). Of course, you have to have gnuplot installed on your machine. If unspecified, the value of the "GNUPLOT_SHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any Plot/Graph Elementary blocks.

'R' Path[Bearbeiten]

Specify which 'R' interpreter to use for RScript Elementary blocks. By default, the 'R' command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "R" on the command line). Of course, you have to have 'R' installed on your machine. Notice, that on OSX and Windows systems, the 'R' command is named 'r' (i.e. lowercase), whereas on Linux systems, it is called 'R' (upper case). If unspecified, the value of the "R_SHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any RScript Elementary blocks.

Powershell Path[Bearbeiten]

Specify which powershell interpreter to use for Powershell Elementary blocks. By default, the powershell command which is found along your PATH setting is used (i.e. the same as found when executing "powershell" on the command line). Of course, you have to have powershell installed on your machine. Notice, that on some systems, the powershell command is named 'pwsh'. If unspecified, the value of the "POWERSHELL" environment variable (in the shell environment) is used.

This setting is not needed if you do not use any Powershell Elementary blocks.

HTML Viewer[Bearbeiten]

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

PDF Viewer[Bearbeiten]

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


Wiki Folder[Bearbeiten]

Should point to this Wiki (and obviously, it does already, otherwise you would probably not read this document)

External Text Editor[Bearbeiten]

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

External CSV Editor[Bearbeiten]

Specify the program to edit CSV attachments. A useful Linux/Unix setting is "/opt/libreoffice/bin/office %1" or another excel-alike calculator which can read and write CSV files. By default, a built in text editor (FileBrowser) is used.
