Response reception/handling difference between Windows vs Linux iTest?

I'd been developing our test cases using Windows iTest 4.1.3. Now I am validating them, executing them from a central Linux server (Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit) with the Linux version of iTest 4.1.3. It seems that the response(s) come back differently - OR are received/handled differently under Linux? There are a few response maps that are not behaving the same way; and some of the Responses come chopped off (i.e. initial few lines are missing - see ipconfig response in attachment below - the response STARTS with the "IPv4 Address" line - my Response Map is looking for the first line of that "group" of lines that defines the interface i.e. "Wireless Network Connection" or "Local Area Network"). Even some of the analysis is not working (even though my debugging "write" statements show that the strings are equal, iTest analysis thinks they are not the same... at least most of the time). Any thoughts on how to make iTest's Response reception/handling be more similar to the Windows iTest? Any suggested Linux OR iTest configuration settings I should be aware of in tweaking how responses come back? Note: I'm using the same setup and same project files - only difference is the platform that iTest is running from.

Hi Takahito,


To get the proper response please check the following options for a step as shown in the attached scrren shot .


Select the Step Properties->Command Prompt command Properties->Completion , Here make sure tha Completion

Criteria option is set to -> "Prompt matches AND device has not sent data during the Idle channel interval" and below to

that option Increase the Completion time as shown in the attached screen shot . hope this works .


If still the problem is there then try the command " ipconfig/all " instead of ipconfig .


The command ipconfig shows the response in different views for various operating systems . If you are unable to get the solutionfrom above ways then please send the tets case, response map used by you on 4.1.3 . Please attach the screen shots of the responses occurred in windows as well as Linux .


Thanks,

saicharan
