Tricentis Tosca Version 16.0 Patch 1-9
This topic provides information on the installation, new features and resolved issues of the Tricentis Tosca patch.
Tosca 16.0 updates are cumulative. This means the latest Tosca versions contain all fixes and features from preceding versions.
However, you only need to install the latest version of Tosca 16.0 to benefit from the latest fixes and features.
|
If you use Tosca Server, you must also install Patch 9 or later for Tosca Server to ensure full functionality. |
Installation
You can download Tricentis Tosca 16.0 Patch 9 from the Tricentis Support Hub (opens in new tab). Please note that you need to be signed in with your Support Hub credentials to see this download.
|
If required, run the Tricentis_Tosca_16.0_Patch9.exe file with administrator rights. |
You can also perform an unattended installation of the patch.
To do so, enter Tricentis_Tosca_16.0_Patch9.exe /s /clone_wait /V"<MSI commands>" at the command prompt.
For information on installation parameters, see chapter "Install Tricentis Tosca in unattended mode". Note that the only applicable MSI commands for patches are /L*v and /qn.
When you patch Tricentis Tosca, the system installs new versions of configuration files, which might overwrite hidden settings that you applied to the previous version.
For information on how to avoid losing certain settings when upgrading, see this Tricentis Knowledge Base article.
New features
For this patch, we have added the following features:
XBrowser Engine 3.0: automate browsers with different users after the upgrade to Manifest V3 (since patch 9)
Here is what our upgrade to Manifest V3 from mid-April, 2024 means for you:
-
Improved performance and compatibility.
-
Adjustments when you want to automate browsers with different users. To do this, open a Tosca workspace as the user you want to automate and then close the workspace. You're now ready to start automating browsers with that user.
Alternatively, an admin user must first set up these registry entries on any local machine where you want to automate browsers with different users:CopyWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\tricentis.automation.htmlengineextensionhelper]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\TRICENTIS\\Tosca Testsuite\\TBox\\Tricentis.Automation.HtmlEngineExtensionHelper.manifest.json"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\tricentis.automation.htmlengineextensionhelper]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\TRICENTIS\\Tosca Testsuite\\TBox\\Tricentis.Automation.HtmlEngineExtensionHelper.Firefox.manifest.json"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge\NativeMessagingHosts\tricentis.automation.htmlengineextensionhelper]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\TRICENTIS\\Tosca Testsuite\\TBox\\Tricentis.Automation.HtmlEngineExtensionHelper.manifest.json"You only need to do this once, then it works with all browsers.
Note that the XBrowser Engine 3.0 only supports one active browser session per Windows user session. This means that, for example, you can't simultaneously run Chrome browser sessions for different users, such as User1 and User2, within the same test run and switch between them.
Also, by default, Edge always runs in the background. This means that if you run your tests with User1, you need to stop Edge before you can run tests with User2. For information on how to stop Edge, see the Microsoft documentation (opens in new tab).
For more information on our upgrade to Manifest V3, check out this Tricentis Knowledge Base article (opens in new tab).
Mobile Engine 3.0: set Desired Capabilities with JSON objects (since patch 8)
The Mobile Engine 3.0 now supports Desired Capabilities with JSON objects, helping you to manage your test environments more effectively. To add Desired Capabilities with JSON objects, follow these steps:
-
In the Value column of the Desired Capability, enter the value in this format:
{ "appiumVersion": "<your Appium version>", "username": "<user name of your cloud service provider account>", "accessKey" : "<your access key for the cloud service provider>" }
For example: { "appiumVersion": "2.0.0", "username": "MyTeam", "accessKey" : "12345" }.
-
From the context menu, select Escape value.
Tosca Commander / Test Management Platform: customize the remote server timeout (since patch 5)
Some XEngines server processes need to establish a connection with TBox. For example, the SAP Engine 3.0 components may use server processes such as Tricentis.Automation.ApiServer.exe. With this patch, we've added the new setting Remote server connection timeouts, which lets you customize the time that Tosca waits for XEngines server processes to establish a connection. The default wait time is 2000 milliseconds. You can find the new setting at Settings -> TBox -> Engines.
XBrowser Engine 3.0: enable and disable slot content handling (since patch 5)
Tosca 16.0 patch 5 includes the new setting Enable slot content handling, which solves compatibility issues due to HTML slot elements. You can find the new setting at Settings ->TBox ->Engines ->XBrowser.
By default, the setting is True. This means that Tosca displays controls as children of their assigned slots.
If you prefer to display controls as they are in the DOM structure, change the setting's value to False.
The new setting applies to all Modules that you create after you install this patch. To prevent compatibility issues in your existing tests, follow these steps:
-
In an existing TestCase, create the test configuration parameter EnableSlotContentHandling.
Alternatively, in an existing Module, create the steering parameter EnableSlotContentHandling.
-
Set it to False.
