<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_test_control_panel_xterm">Test Control Panel - xterm</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>From the dashboard click on a test PASS/FAIL button. This brings up a test control panel. Aproximately near the center left of the
window there is a button "Start Xterm". Push this to get an xterm with the full context and environment loaded for that test. You can run
scripts or ezsteps by copying from the testconfig (hint, load up the testconfig in a separate gvim or emacs window). This is the easiest way
to debug your tests.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_during_config_file_processing">During Config File Processing</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It is often helpful to know the content of variables in various
contexts as Megatest does the actions needed to run your tests. A handy technique is to force the startup of an xterm in the context being examined.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For example, if an item list is not being generated as expected you
can inject the startup of an xterm as if it were an item:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">Original items table</div>
<div class="content monospaced">
<pre>[items]
CELLNAME [system getcellname.sh]</pre>
</div></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">Items table modified for debug</div>
<div class="content monospaced">
<pre>[items]
DEBUG [system xterm]
CELLNAME [system getcellnames.sh]</pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When this test is run an xterm will pop up. In that xterm the
environment is exactly that in which the script "getcellnames.sh"
would run. You can now debug the script to find out why it isn’t
working as expected.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_organising_your_tests_and_tasks">Organising Your Tests and Tasks</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The default location "tests" for storing tests can be extended by
adding to your tests-paths section.</p></div>

<div class="content monospaced">
<pre>[misc]
parent #{shell dirname $(readlink -f .)}
[tests-paths]
1 #{get misc parent}/simplerun/tests</pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The above example shows how you can use addition sections in your
config file to do complex processing. By putting results of relatively
slow operations into variables the processing of your configs can be
kept fast.</p></div>
