"Run" from studio without clearing task data
Is it possible to configure the studio to prevent it from clearing task info (and other process state info) when you click "run".
Example: it would be nice to be able to make a minor change to connector script, or form layout, and see the change reflected in the existing tasks without having to re-rerun a test procedure to get there.
Yes: I know things MAY be inconsistent, but I am happy to take that risk on some occasions.
Thanks
After some considerable investigation I now have this working.
The trick is to use a groovy or java script to save the contents of a subset of "instance" tables in the journal.db before clicking on "run", and then run a second script to compare the saved tables with the current ones and merge them. This involves restoring the old tables and then updating the process, task and actor IDs to match the changed values in new definition tables.
As a developer; I know that undisciplined use could break things, but with care and discipline it CAN be done. :)
BonitaSoft: I would ask that this kind of feature be made available, albeit with a raft of disclaimers.
My answer as a developer would be absolutely not...
Yes it is painful sometimes but we learnt and acquired a Automation Scripting tool to run the process for us. We do the deploy, then the script takes over:
Login, Fill fields, Capture Screens, Click submit etc.
then we can analyse the results after...
