Edit a Configuration

In any configuration other than the project configuration, you can add properties only if they exist in the project configuration.

A best practice is to use properties in the path names that are stored in the configuration. Properties such as LISA_HOME or LISA_PROJ_ROOT allow for portability of test cases.

A property value can contain multiple lines.

The extended view consists of a dialog for editing a property value. This view can be useful when the value is long or when the value contains multiple lines. To access the extended view, right-click the property value cell and select Launch Extended View.

Follow these steps:

1. Double-click the configuration in the Configs folder.

   The Properties Editor appears.

2. Add a property by clicking Add at the bottom of the Properties Editor.

   A new line is added to the property list.

3. Click the drop-down to select the chosen key.

   Common property names appear in the drop-down.

   Values:

   HOT_DEPLOY

   Indicates the location of the hot deploy directory.

   MORE_JARS

   Add more JAR files to your class path.

   NOTIFY_ON_FAIL

   Defines an email address to be notified when a test case fails.

   RESOURCE_GROUP

   Filters out the selection of coordinators and VSEs based on the resources that are defined in a resource group.
