Release Notes: Disable API Redirects, Template Files, Comment Printing
 |
Comment Printing Options for Reports
This update improves the experience when generating reports from the Run page, as users can now view comments directly within the generated report. In the Advanced > Reporting settings, new options allow users to control how comments are printed in the reports. They can choose to not print comments, which is the default option, print all comments, or print only priority comments that start with a specific symbol. These options help limit the number of comments displayed and keep reports clear and focused. The same functionality is also available when generating Word reports, ensuring consistent comment handling across all formats.
Disable Redirects for API Calls
This update introduces a new API parameter called with no redirects, designed to control redirect behavior during API calls. When this parameter is enabled, the request will not follow redirects. Without it, for example, the API call shown below may fail because it expects a final response with a 200 return code after the redirect chain completes.
call api "https://httpbin.io/status/302" with no redirects and save header "Set-Cookie" as "cookieJar" and save it as "redirectResult" and then check that http code is 302
By using the with no redirects parameter, the call succeeds when a 302 response is received before any redirection occurs, allowing for more precise control of response handling.
OCR-Based Text Extraction for Downloaded Files
This improvement enhances the PDF extraction process by adding support for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when downloading files. When a user downloads a PDF, the system can now use OCR to extract and save text content, even when the file does not originally contain selectable or searchable text. The extracted text is displayed in the Details section and can be used for validation during automation or testing processes. This validation passes once the text is successfully read and matched. The same functionality also applies to PNG files, allowing users to verify that a downloaded file contains specific text using OCR-based detection.
Optional Labels in Reusable Rules
This update introduces flexibility in how labels are handled within reusable rules. Previously, assigning a label to each rule was mandatory, requiring the rule name or another identifying label before saving. With this change, users can now create and save reusable rules without labels if they prefer. When adding these rules to a test case, customers can apply only the labels they need, making it easier to organize and distinguish different rules within the same test case.
Template Variable Replacement Command
This update introduces a new command called Select Template File, which enables automatic variable replacement inside a chosen file’s contents. When a variable (for example, name or lastName) is defined before uploading, the system automatically replaces it with its corresponding value within the file. This feature simplifies template management by allowing dynamic content generation without manual editing of file contents. The command has the following syntax:
select template file "URL" using file selection dialog
