2019-03-06

General

Fixes:

• fix email notification when email address isn’t specified
• force email notification to be sent as HTML
• nexial-variable-update: slight improvement on logging
• internal tracking of system variables and respective default value.
• fix to allow shutting down of winium driver with session as required (useful in the case of clickByLocator like commands)
• move nexial-3rdparty.log under execution-specific log directory

Improvements:

• minor improvement on logging to help troubleshoot test step errors.
• nexial-variable-update script now supports macro and HTML files. Also reduced excessive logging.
• nexial-project-inspector: NEW batch file to generate project level information and insight. Current version supports macro and data variable inspection. More enhancement forthcoming.
  • scan data variable across test scripts, batch files, project.properties, datasheets and #default.
