TP-85450 PH50908 Previously, when you recorded tests for an HTML application, the recording window of the functional test script either did not capture test steps or slowed down if you selected Enable Simplified Scripting in the Preferences window for functional testing. To fix this problem, you can clear the Enable Simplified Scripting option in the Preferences window, and then select the Simplified Scripting option from the Select Mode list in the Record a DevOps Test UI window.
TP-87273 PH54177 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine and if a test step had an image verification point on a div control in the second window of the application, then the verification point failed. This problem is fixed.
TP-87880 PH54475 Previously, when you recorded additional steps by using the Insert Recording into Active Functional Test Script option in the running browser instance for a functional HTML test, the recording failed with an error. This problem is fixed.
TP-89305 Previously, when you ran a test for Windows 64-bit applications with the tree-view control, the playback failed with SubitemNotFoundException. This problem is fixed.
TP-91129 Previously, when you recorded tests for a Windows application, after the log-on action, the login window closed and with that the test recording stopped abruptly. As a result, the recording could not continue on the new window that appeared. This problem is fixed.
TP-91202 PH59019 Previously, when you configured the RQM adapter of Test UI to enable logging by using the configureadapter.bat file, the adapter failed to generate debug traces. To fix this problem, you must perform the following steps:
  1. Download the log4j2.xml file, and place the file in the DevOpsTest\FunctionalTester\RQMAdapter directory.
  2. Copy the following jar files from <Install_Directory>\IBMIMShared\plugins\com.ibm.rqm.integration.client_<version>\lib to the DevOpsTest\FunctionalTester\RQMAdapter directory:
    • commons-logging-1.2.jar
    • log4j-api-2.17.1.jar
    • log4j-core-2.17.1.jar
    • log4j-jcl-2.17.1.jar
  3. Replace start "" %RFT_ARG_JRE% -classpath %RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rational_ft.jar com.rational.test.ft.RQMAdapterConfigure %* in the configureadapter.bat file with the following command:

    start "" %RFT_ARG_JRE% -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=.\log4j2.xml -classpath .\log4j-api-2.17.1.jar;.\log4j-core-2.17.1.jar;.\log4j-jcl-2.17.1.jar;.\commons-logging-1.2.jar;%RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rational_ft.jar com.rational.test.ft.RQMAdapterConfigure %*

TP-91238 When you record or play back functional tests for Java applications that use Java 9 or later on Linux, the UI controls might not be recognized correctly. To work around this problem, you must perform the following steps:
  1. Set the path of the rational_ft_bootstrap.jar file in the executable file with the other jar files of the application for which you are running the test: DWCLASSPATH=/opt/IBM/IBMIMShared/plugins/com.rational.test.ft.enabler.wsw_10.1.0.v20240208_0142/rational_ft_bootstrap.jar
  2. Add the following java flags:

ID APAR Description
TP-78015 PH39626
Previously, on the Windows operating system, if you started an application under test (AUT) with a user credential that was different from the logged-in user by using the RunAs construct, then Rational Functional Tester was unable to record or play back tests against such an application. This issue is fixed.
Now, you can run tests for applications that use a different user credential when Rational Functional Tester is started as an administrator.
TP-79364 Previously, when you ran a compound test that had tests from different projects and the tests also included datasets, the test failed due to incorrect processing of datasets. This problem is fixed. 
TP-82239 PH45450 Previously, when you ran a functional test in the VS2019 IDE, the playback failed at the verification point if there were multiple lines separated by the Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) characters. This problem is fixed.
TP-82345 PH45644 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine for the web application that is enabled with Content Security Policy, Rational Functional Tester failed to identify the UI controls. This problem is fixed.
TP-82584 Previously, when you ran Web UI tests in Mozilla Firefox 97 or later, the close application action was marked as failed in the unified report. Similarly, when you ran functional HTML tests by using the Web UI engine in Firefox 97 or later, the browser_htmlBrowser().close() action was marked as failed in the unified report.
This problem is fixed.
TP-82758 Previously, if a step description in the unified report contained special characters such as symbols, then the export of the report to the PDF format failed as these special characters are not supported by the PDFBox framework. This problem is fixed.
Now, each special character gets replaced with a space character automatically before the export of the report.
TP-82770 Previously, when you tried to add additional steps to an existing Web UI test in Microsoft Edge by using the Steps from Recording (web) option, the browser name was not displayed in the Select Client Application list. This problem is fixed.
TP-82803 Previously, if you ran a test in Rational Functional Tester that is configured for the Japanese locale or if the test log name contained Japanese characters, then the export of the unified report to the PDF format failed. An error message in garbled Japanese characters was displayed. This problem is fixed.
TP-82812 Previously, when you installed Rational Functional Tester on a Linux operating system and set the environment variable, the UI Test Agent failed to start due to the missing Appium node module. This problem is fixed.
TP-82930 PH47071 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, Rational Functional Tester failed to start image comparison for the test step with an image verification point. The "Window is disabled" error was displayed. This problem is fixed.
Now, Rational Functional Tester finds the image object, activates the window that contains the object for comparison, and then compares the objects for image verification points.
TP-83126 PH47263 Previously, when you recorded a Web UI test, the test generation failed occasionally with NullPointerException. Also, the mobileApplications.json and mobileTestList.json files were not created in the C:\ProgramData\IBM\RFT\configuration folder. This problem is fixed.
TP-83150 PH47297 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, the test step that contained the Choose File action failed as the UI control was not correctly recognized. This problem is fixed.
Now, the default value of the "functional.tester.html.playback.async" variable is set to ‘true’ in the <Install_Directory>\FunctionalTester\bin\ivory.properties file.
TP-83164 Previously, when you removed or moved the arguments in the Custom Code (JavaScript) step of a Web UI test, the test steps were not updated correctly. This problem is fixed.
TP-83179 PH47368 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the simplified script, all the image verification points of a window were displayed with the same name in the unified report. As a result, it was difficult to identify the images of failed verification points. This problem is fixed.
Now, Rational Functional Tester displays image verification point names in the following format:
Verify Image <window_name> <verification_point_type> <property_name>
TP-83230 PH47465 Previously, the unified report opened an empty page when you clicked the data grid verification point step under the Details pane. This issue occurred for data fields in the table with multiple horizontal and vertical headers. This problem is fixed.
TP-83334 PH47616 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, the test failed if the application under test had multiple browser windows to be opened during the test run. This problem is fixed.
Now, the multiple browser windows are opened correctly by the ensureObjectIsVisible() method.
TP-83370 PH48572 Previously, when you ran a Web UI test in Google Chrome with the Allow recording after playback option enabled, the test failed with a fatal error. This problem is fixed.
Now, Rational Functional Tester activates the recording script to add test steps only after the playback is complete.
TP-84022 Previously, when you ran a Web UI test with an associated dataset, the test failed to read all the rows and stopped after completing a few iterations. This problem is fixed.

List of fixes

ID APAR Description
TP-80677 PH43492
Previously, if you ran a test that contained Japanese characters in the table data verification points and you switched between different verification points in the unified report, then the report added duplicate rows.
This problem is fixed.
TP-79119 PH41487 Previously, the shared but unassociated datapools from functional test projects, which were created in the older version of Rational Functional Tester, did not display in the workbench after you opened the projects in the newer version.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81455 PH42369
Previously, when you ran a functional HTML test by using the Web UI engine and if browser profiles for Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome were not selected in Preferences, then the default profile with specific settings was loaded. The home page that was set on the default profile was displayed before the actual Application Under Test (AUT) was loaded.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if the browser profiles are not selected in Preferences, the test is run on a temporary profile.
TP-81410 PH44313 Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine in the Edge browser, the selection of list items by using the click(atText("text")) event in the combo box or list box failed. This problem is fixed.
Now, you can use the following events to capture user actions in the combo box or list box:
  • .click(atText("anyText Which is in control"))
  • .select(index_val)
  • .select("anyText which is in control")
TP-81870 PH45019
Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine in the Edge browser, the browser driver continued to run in the background even after the test failed.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if the test fails, the browser and driver get closed.
TP-80893 PH43771
Previously, when you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine, text_area_control.getProperty("disabled") returned 'false' even when the attribute of the textarea element was set to "disabled" (true).
This problem is fixed.
Now, the function returns the correct value for any of the following attributes in the HTML tag:
  • disabled
  • disabled="disabled"
TP-68052 PH45287
Previously, when you ran a functional test using Web UI engine and clicked at a specific point in a control within a frame, the click action was performed somewhere on the frame and not at the specific point.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if co-coordinates for each of the specific points are given in the script, the click action is performed at that point in the control.
TP-82190 PH45379
Previously, when you ran a functional test, the data verification points captured the JavaScript code along with the data displayed for controls.
This problem is fixed.
Now, if you add the flag "ft.html.text.skipscripttag=true" in ivory.properties file, which is located in the Rational Functional Tester installation directory, the JavaScript code is filtered out from the result captured by the verification points.
TP-80839 PH43761
Previously, when you ran scripts that referenced data grid verification points with vertical headers, and clicked the test steps in the unified report, the unified report crashed.
This problem is fixed.
TP-78322 PH40408
Previously, when you record a functional test by using Java 9 or later, the controls were incorrectly identified that resulted in the verification points to be incorrectly captured.
This problem is fixed.
TP-82146 PH45405
Previously, when you started to record a Web UI test or run a Web UI test and if the browser driver was incompatible, Rational Functional Tester prompted you to download the compatible driver by using a link, which did not initiate the download when clicked.
This problem is fixed.
TP-81492 PH44388
Previously, when you tested whether the non-HTML application exists and if this application did not open at that time, then the functional test failed with the ObjectNotFoundException error. Additionally, Rational Functional Tester displayed the following error message in the report:
"TopLevelTestObject.exists fails with ObjectNotFoundException"

This problem is fixed.

TP-79157 PH41289
When you used the atDescendant API in test scripts to test newer versions of Eclipse, the Eclipse shell might not get recognized correctly. This is because the TableTree controls that were previously deprecated in Eclipse are no longer available in the latest Eclipse versions. Hence, the tool ran into a problem recognizing controls in Eclipse.
This problem is fixed.
Rational Functional Tester correctly handles the absence of the deprecated class and can recognize controls during the playback of such test scripts.
TP-78267 Previously, when you proceeded to run a Web UI test on a browser that had an incompatible driver on your computer, the test failed to run and you were not able to attempt another test run. Now, when you select a browser to run a Web UI test, you are warned if an incompatible driver is found for the browser and you can only proceed if you download and install the driver that is compatible with the selected browser.
TP-78345 Previously, on Windows, the node js process did not start automatically along with the UI Test Agent on the installation of the product or when you restarted your computer. This issue occurred when the environment variable WEBDRIVER_CHROME_DRIVER_MOBILE was added to the system. This environment variable is used to add the supported Chrome driver while you run a Web UI test on an Android mobile.
This problem is fixed.
TP-78810
Previously, when you attempted to install Rational Functional Tester by using Installation Manager on a shell that already had the Rational Performance Tester Agent installed, the Rational Functional Tester installation failed.
This problem is fixed.
