Hi Steffen, as Stephan Bergmann already mentioned, there exists a real new module testgraphical, which is not completely ready yet, but at least usable. Build the module 'qadevOOo' there you will find the 'OOoRunnerLight.jar'. And the Convwatch documentation is outdated, sorry. testgraphical: -------------- You need some other software to work with this graphical compare. I've create a checker for this so just do the follows. # cd testgraphical/prechecks # dmake verbose=1 SHOW=1 - Ghostscript is need - Imagemagick is need - Java 6 is need Now start a connectable office, you don't know how? # cd ../source # dmake This should hopefully fail with a java.lang.NullPointerException. But 2 lines before the error stack trace it told you, how to run a connectable office. Start your office with the given parameters but keep in mind, ';' has to be escaped like '\;' on unix. Now run dmake again. # dmake The connectable office should open a document, and after a short the test should be done. Problems? I hope not. Due to the fact I would like to test also if fails are right. Start again with # dmake failtest SHOW=1 The connectable office should open a document with the current time, close it and after a short time a new java window with 3 picture views should open, which shows the currently loaded document on the left. In the middle you see a reference and on the right you see the difference too the left and the middle. This 'failtest' is just for demonstration. How can you use it for your own: -------------------------------- The documents came from 'demo' pool: testgraphical/document-pool/<POOL> (here <POOL>:=demo) You can copy your test documents to testgraphical/document-pool/demo or create a new own <POOL>. (Limitations: Subdirs in <POOL> are not supported yet!) The reference document result(!) (how it should look like) (pdf or postscript) came from: testgraphical/references/unxlngi/<POOL> Here you have to copy your pdf export of your test documents with a office which you made as your 'reference'. IMPORTANT: Due to font differences there exists sub directories for unxlngi (linux x86), windows (wntmsci), Solaris Intel (unxsoli). If you use the 'demo' pool, you could use 'dmake demo' for test runs. If you like the extra java helper with 3 views you have to start with 'dmake demo SHOW=1'. Tips: * If you use your own pool, just create a new line in the makefile.mk like the 'demo:' line. * Use pdf export. Please report problems. This tool should also work within windows and solaris intel, but as I mentioned before, not completely ready yet.
