Installing iTest
- Do not uninstall previous versions of iTest by deleting iTest folders. Instead, follow the instructions in the iTest Installation Guide .
- Set the font. For example, use:
export FONTCONFIG_FILE=/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
- Install GTK 2.8 or higher (required for particular views in iTest)
- If you will use iTest's charting feature, then you must install lib cairo
- If you plan to use any of the following features, then you must install Tethereal. (See issue 9894.)
- the Agilent Traffic or Ixia Traffic show packet command
- Wireshark sessions (You can also install "tshark)
- Spirent TestCenter sessions
- Update environment variable settings as described on the last page of the installation wizard (the Install Complete page)
After installing iTest
- The Welcome page and the online help will not appear properly because they must appear in an external browser (that is, not the browser that is built in to iTest). You can work around the problem in either of the following two ways:
- Specify the location of the external web browser in eclipse preferences. (General->Web Browser). The help will now open in an external browser. The Welcome page, however, will have limited functionality.
- Set an environment variable 'MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME' and point it to the home folder where the web browser is installed. This option fixes both the Welcome pages and the help pages. A detailed explanation appears at: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux
- Start iTest from the installation directory or using the full path to the executable. See issue 9539.
- Set the Text Font to a monospace font as described in the guide in the chapter on installing Linux and Solaris.
Optional: Enabling the Working Sets menu item
Note: This option applies only if you use Working Sets and if you are updating from iTest 3.3 to iTest 3.4.
* Working Sets is an Eclipse option (Window > Working Sets) that was visible by default in Eclipse 3.3 and is hidden by default in Eclipse 3.4 (iTest 3.4 is based on Eclipse 3.4).
To make the menu visible, follow these steps:
1. In iTest, click Window > Customize Perspective.
2. Select the Commands tab.
3. In the Available command groups list, check the Window Working Set check box and then click OK.
The Window > Working Sets menu item now appears.
Be sure to see the Sun Solaris section on the 'Known Issues' page of the Release Notes
