31 WINDOWS ONLY, no other platforms
36 This test checks if the cli assemblies and their policy files are installed in the
37 GAC and if the policy files are correct. The office must be installed with complete
38 system integration. That is, one does not use setup /a for starting the
41 In OOo 3.0 there was a breanking change so that the test created for previous
42 version do not work anymore. To use these old tests one needs to install a
43 version of OOo less than v 3.0. Then one needs to check out the cli_ure module
44 for that version. The tests are contained in cli_ure/qa/versioning.
46 In the sub directory version_libs are libraries which are linked with (referencing)
53 They are named version_3_0_0 etc, where the name indicates the version of the
54 office for which they were initially build. If there are only the assemblies
55 for example OOo2.0.2 installed and a client was build with the assemblies from
56 OOo2 then the policy assemblies must make the correct redirection.
58 When calling dmake then the executable runtest.exe and version_current.dll are
59 build. When runtest runs then it loads all dlls, which names start with
60 "version", from the same directory and tries to run a particular test code
61 which is only available in the version_xxx.dll s. The code in the
62 version_xxx.dlls uses the cli default bootstrap mechanism to find the office
63 installation and start the office. When running runtest in a build environment
64 then it may use the wrong libraries for bootstrapping in which case the test
65 fails. Then one has to set PATH which must point to the program directory of
66 the office installation. For example:
68 set PATH=d:\office\program
70 runtest stops when a test failed to run. It writes error information to the
71 console which shows which version_xxx.dll failed to run and if this was due to
72 a referenced assembly that could not be loaded. This would be the case if such
73 an assembly or the policy assembly is not properly installed or the redirection
74 in the policy assembly is wrong.
76 The version_current.dll references the assemblies in the current build
77 environment. version_current.dll is also executed when runtest is started.
79 To run the whole test one can either
80 1. start testools/wntmsci11.pro/bin/runtests.exe in a console where no
82 2. Call dmake run in testools/qa/cliversions
84 For a limited test one can call in this directory
85 dmake run office=d:\office
86 There must not be an office installed in the system (the assemblies from the GAC
87 would then be used). Only the test with the version_current.dll will succeed
88 because there are no policy files installed. This test requires that all
89 assemblies are copied next to runtests.exe - the makefile will do that.
91 The parameter office must be a system path to the office installation
92 directory. The java code calls runtest and also sets PATH so that the test
93 works in the build environment. It also sets UNO_PATH so that the office will be
94 found. If the test says that it failed, then one should run runtest directly
95 because it puts out more information.
99 Creating a new version_xxx.dll
100 ==============================
101 When a version of our assemblies changes then one should provide a new version dll which test exactly the assemblies with the changed version. This is easily done:
102 1. set the build environment in which the new versions are effectiv.
103 2 call: dmake name=version_xxx.dll
104 3. copy the new version dll from the output tree into qa/versioning/version_libs
105 4. commit the new version.dll using the -kb switch (only when creating the new file : cvs new -kb version_3_1_0.dll)
