Test Management 2.0 - line breaks are not considered while writing tests

[Daisy Huang]

Hi Community, 
We are using PPM test management 2.0 to maintain our test cases. 

And we got compliances from quite some colleagues, as while they are writing a test for story, the line breaks are not considered, they need to type in a notebook and then copy/paste to a test, which is not conveniences for daily work. 

Can you let us know is there a customization we could do to make the test steps in a Test consider the line break. 

Thanks.
Daisy

Hi,

Yes this can be done. But does require a customisation which could break. So needs to be done with the risk accepted by the business.

Create a new UI script within the 'Test Management' scope called 'handle_enter_key' and the following script.

This script will look for the key-combo shift+enter and allow it to be used to create new lines

$j(document).ready(function() {

    document.body.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
        const target = event.target;

        if (
            target &&
            (target.matches('textarea.add_step_textbox') ||
                (
                    target.matches('textarea') &&
                    target.closest('.step_content')
                )) &&
            event.key === 'Enter' &&
            event.shiftKey
        ) {
            console.log("Shift+Enter intercepted")
            event.stopPropagation();
        }
    }, true)
});

Open the sys_ui_macro 'test_version_step_list' and add the following line

//<g2:requires name="scripts/angular_includes_1.5.11.js" includes="true" /> add the following, below this line
<g:requires name="sn_test_management.handle_enter_key.jsdbx" params="cache=$[jvar_stamp]" />

Hard reload the test step page and you can now use shift+enter to insert a new line. The enter key will continue to act as is OOB

Hi @Kieran Anson  
Thank you so much for you quick and helpful response!
My colleague did the implementation in a copied instance and it's working!  😎 Cooool~~~

I will align internally about the real implementation.

Thanks,
