itestcli does not show the telnet session commands/responses, when no Web session is accompanied
We have a script which opens/works-with couple of telnet sessions. When I run the script using itestcli with -g option specified, I could see iTest applications gets opened, but I do not see any telnet sessions getting opened to show the console command/response.
However, if we have a Web session opened in the same script along with the telnet sessions and run it, I could see the telnet sessions as well as the Web sessions. My requirement is to see the all the sessions and their command/response in the iTest->Execution window.
I do not see this issue with iTest 3.3
Thanks,

See other post by Joey on the forums regarding similar topic.
In iTest 3.4, we decided to not show session windows for telnet and other applications which can execute without any UI. This was done for several reasons:
1. Since there are no windows opening up for these sessions, iTest uses less memory and CPU to run steps for these sessions.
2. Some users like to use iTest for developing testcases while at the same time running tests through itestcli. When this used to happen in 3.3, user could not use iTest GUI because session windows constantly keep appearing, disappearing and stealing focus.
In your second paragraph, you state that a web testcase with telnet steps in it shows telnet session window. This should not happen with iTest 3.4 - you should never see any telnet window when script is executed from itestcli.
We have already filed a feature request for people to show session windows when tests are executed through itestcli. We will consider it for a future release.
