Description Yifan Jiang 2011-05-13 01:00:30 UTC
Platform: SLED 11 sp1 i586
build info: Libreoffice 3.4 beta5

[Steps]

    1. Install LibO 3.4 beta5 as well as testtool package

    2. Run f_basic_first.bas using:

        /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis-link/program/testtool.bin -run $TESTAUTOMATION/framework/optional/f_basic_first.bas

[Problem]
    
    When the testtool step through the ResetApplication in master.inc, it
    complains an error

        : Unknown command ''

[Extra Information]

    - I reproduced the problem in 2 platforms, so pretty sure it was something
      wrong there.

Hi Noel, since this is constantly reproducible in a clean environment. I opened the bug for your review.  Thanks!

P.S It might also influence other 'internal command' of testautomation thus make the automation test not runnable.

Hmmm, I just left a comment on the dev mailing list about the smoketests failing during make check when building from master ? Something to do with failed assertions in officeconnection.cxx - linked ?

patch for 3.4

fixes ( or appears to ) fix the testtool problems on 3.4
I tested with f_topten.bas ( because it is a short test ) Note: I started running the one mentioned above but after some time it was clear this test was going to take too long so I tried f_topten.bas instead.
The root cause of the problems was cws changehid which replaced numerical hid's by strings. Additionally the class smarthid was removed.

The patch imo is not ideal, . It appears that there are still hid(s) that are stringified numbers ( or at least that's what the testtool code expects ) and now the testtool code goes to extra trouble to convert between strings/numbers. I would guess this makes the testtool slower. This should be changed on master, for 3.4 I think a "just get it working" approach might be the best
