Known Issues

Here is a list of known issues on the current version of Twist.

We recommend that users work with one single Twist project at a time in Twist.

Scenario editor

  1. Whenever an update is done from SVN, the problem markers and editor will not refresh. Need to do a "clean build" of the project to update problem markers and reopen the scenario to refresh the painting.
  2. Pressing Ctrl + F11 when the focus is outside the scenario editor or trying to launch the scenario execution using the run/debug toolbar buttons will give error.
  3. When rephrasing a workflow step, having the character "\" inside parameter results in an error.

Selenium

  1. If any invalid Selenium configurations are present in the twist.properties file then execution may hang.

Frankenstein

  1. Need to use explicit waits(Thread.sleep) when new swing windows are opened.

Name conflicts with existing classes

  1. Twist uses the simple name of classes to resolve Contexts and Fixtures. This increases the possibility of name conflicts with existing classes.

Business Rules Table

  1. Copy/paste on table rows is not yet supported. We would advise avoiding pasting row data into the tables. (This issue will be addressed in the next release)
  2. When more than one row fails in a Scenario, HTML report doesn't show all the exceptions. It shows the last exception alone.
  3. Creation of a column with name having "_" will strip off "_". If column name in the previous releases (Beta) have "_" then rename of the column fails.

For Mac Users

  1. After installation, Twist is available as Eclipse.app
