Unable to Re Enable Disabled Test (Hobbit 4.1.2p1)

Hi Dave,

I may know why your external command is not executed.

Could you tell me where is located bbexternals.cmd file ?

The current path for BBWin when it is running is the bin directory so,
if bbexternals.cmd is not in the bbwin bin directory or in one of the
environment paths, then, it will fail.

If bbexternals.cmd is in ext directory, you should try this :

<load value='cmd.exe /C "D:\Program Files\BBWin\ext\bbexternals.cmd"'
timer="300" />

Let me know if it worked.

Regards,

Eteinen.

BBWin is not executing the script for the tests, but I can not figure out
why!  I call all of my scripts, three on this box, using one CMD file.  All
scripts are in the ext directory, and I edited the registry so that the BB
client externals path is set to the BBWIN\tmp directory.  If I execute the
CMD file manually, it all works fine.

Here is my script, which is saved as a CMD file

cd D:\Program Files\BBWin\ext
cscript //b bbsav.vbs
cscript //b iis-check.vbs
cscript //b exchange.vbs

Here is my BBWIN config file

I recently disabled a couple of tests when I had some

client, and re enabled the tests, I am still getting a BLUE status
icon, and it has been like that for days.  Any suggestions?

After enabling it, you will see the status remain blue until
an update is sent by the client. So if your server is down
(or the WinBB client is not running), the status will remain
blue even though it has been re-enabled.

If you go look at the detailed status, does it say "disabled
until ...."
at the top of the status page ? If it does, then Hobbit still
considers it disabled. If not, then it is just waiting for an update.
