Test location editor does not display correctly. When opening a test location in the test location editor the follow display problems exist: -Eclipse Workbench Properties and General Properties tabs are not displayed until the user selects the links in the Property Groups section. -After which, the Eclipse Workbench Properties section appears in the overview tab, but the General Properties section does not.
Reassign to Test.UI developer Jerome.
Eclipse Workbench Properties and General Properties tabs are not displayed until the user selects the links. This appears as designed. The fact that the user selects the links creates the tab. I guess that the text is maybe confusing: "Here are the available property groups defined for this object:" might be reworded as: "Here are the available property groups definable for this object:". The second point of this defect is working as designed as well. Indeed, the property group sections are displayed in the Overview tab only if there is some data saved. Tabs are created with default (dummy/empty) values. But if the user edits a tab and saves the location, the tab appears in the Overview.
This is still an usability problem despite working as designed. The user experience is different for properties tabs than other tabs (e.g. Test Assets in the Artifact editor). Also addressing point two in the defect description, in the Location editor, when assigning general properties and saving the location, the General Properties section appears in the overview tab, but the Eclipse Workbench Properties section does not. Wayne: Do you have any usability comments?
(In reply to comment #3) > Wayne: Do you have any usability comments? It is a bit unusual to only display the additional tabs/pages upon clicking on the hyperlink on the Overview page. In most Eclipse editors, most tabs are displayed by default and the hyperlinks on the Overview page are provided for additional navigation and to improve discoverability of the other pages. I've noticed the various tab/pages will also display in the order in which they are opened. So the tab ordering does change depending on how the user interacts with the editor, which may be a bit disorienting. Jerome, is there a particular reason for this design? I do notice that the "Eclipse Workbench Properties" tab/page is rather complex and seemingly . Was this design intended to hide some advanced tabs?
I was not the designer of the editor and I do not know the reason of this design. I just can imagine that this design avoid to load all extensions (tabs are contributed by tools) at start time. WRT the "Eclipse Workbench Properties" I think that there is a lot of information needed to properly setup the workbench location. I'm adding Julien in the CC list, maybe he can express his opinion on this topic.
This defect will be naturally resolved when fixing 147718, but we will have to wait 4.4, because we are already UI freeze.
Reassigning to the component leads to triage for 4.4.
Targeting to future since not containable in 4.4.
As discussed on this week's Test Project call (January 22, 2007), the Test Project will focus on existing P1 - P2/Blocker - Major and P1/Normal and test creation/automation defects (omitting defects dependant on outstanding features) in TPTP 4.4. All other Test Project defects have been targeted to future. If this defect has been targeted to future and you/originator feel it should be completed in 4.4, please provide the necessary reason as a reply to this comment or a post to the Test Project mailing list (tptp-test-tooling-dev@eclipse.org). We will collectively triage and assess our resources to determine a case-by-case decision.
Correction: The Test Project mailing list is tptp-testing-tools-dev@eclipse.org.
Changing the priority to P3 since TPTP only uses P1 - P3 priorities.
and additional problem related is that if a new artifact is created and user clicks on General Properties link under the Property Groups section, the General Properties tab appears but the editor becomes "dirty"
Test.Doc.Deployment.technical_review.Windows_IA32 is affected by this defect
*** Bug 273310 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
[From 273310]: 1:If user click on the "General Properties" option in the "Overview" tab, the "General Properties" tab is selected and the editor becomes "dirty", while there was no edition to the artifact. 2:If user tries to close the editor, and choose "yes" when prompted to save the changes. Reopening the same artifact and perform step #1 would not make the editor turn "dirty" (same applies for those artifacts that has "General Properties) entries. Caused by the artifact/location editor create the property group only after the editor is opened and the user selects the General Properties link on the Overview tab. Ideally, the property group should be added once the test asset is created or the test asset editor should add the property group to the test asset model (and thus change the dirty state - see org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui.internal.editor.extension.ConfigurableObjectEditorExtension.getCFGPropertyGroup(IConfigurationElement)) until properties are added to the property group. Nonetheless, this will be resolved under 125770.
