Hi Clytie,

1. Which Linux build belongs to a machine running SuSe and using rpm packages? Is it Linux Intel or Linux x86? How do we distinguish between the two different Linux systems based on users' descriptions?

From the TestTools' point of view it is just Linux

2. How do I manually check testtool errors? For example, the Linux results:

You have to load the .res file with errors and/or warnings in the TestTool application (testtool.exe for win32/ testtool.bin for other systems / testtool on mac).

The workflow for one test could be:
start TestTool,
open the .bas file of the test in the testtool e.g b_updt.bas (File -> Open),
start the test (Program -> Run),
directly stop the test (Program-> Cancel),
resultfile was automatically loaded,
You may try to reproduce the error manually, if there are enough comments,
If you doublecklick on the coloured message, the sourcefile is loaded and points on the line, where the error occurred.

Only reproduceable errors/warnings are 'worth' to think about:
Now you have 2 choices to try to reproduce the error/warnings:
1. just run the test case with the error
2. if you yet don't know how to do this, run the whole test completely

If it isn't reproduceable, means it doesn't show up anymore, forget about it.

If it is reproduceable, it depends ....
some messages already have an issue id - known errors - don't need to think about it.

...

I would be curious about your warnings during initialization.

show quite a few errors for some scripts. How do I trace those errors to the actions creating them?

3. What do we do for warnings about filter names?

If there are currently no reference files for the language you are using, generate them.
If the strings differ to the reference, think about which one is right.


4. What do errors citing "Invisible Window/Control" mean?

I currently don't have an example...
Depending on the context...
A complete resultfile as attachment would help (directly to me)

cheers
Thorsten
