QMTest allows you to set up a per-user configuration file that contains your personal preferences, defaults, and settings.
The configuration file is named
$HOME/.qmrc. On Windows, you may have to set
the HOME environment variable manually.
The QMTest configuration file is a plain text
file, with a format similar to that used in Microsoft Windows
.INI files. It is divided into sections by headings in
square brackets. Three sections are supported: [common] contains
configuration variables common to all the QM tools, while
[test] contains
configuration variables specific to QMTest. Within
each section, configuration variables are set using the syntax
variable=value
Here is a sample QM configuration file:
>cat ~/.qmrc[common] browser=/usr/local/bin/mozilla
These configuration variables are used in all QM tools. You
should define them in the [common] section of your
QM configuration file.
The path to your preferred web browser. If omitted, QM
attempts to run mozilla. The QM GUI does
not correctly with Netscape 4 due to limitations in the support
for JavaScript and DOM in that browser.
The shell program to run a single shell command. The value of this property is the path to the shell executable, optionally followed by command-line options to pass to the shell, separated by spaces. The shell command to run is appended to the command.
On GNU/Linux systems, the default is /bin/bash -norc -noprofile -c. On other UNIX-like systems, the default is /bin/sh -c.
If this option is not present, or has the value
0, menus in the
GUI are activated by moving the mouse over the menu name.
If this option has the value 1, the
menus are activated by clicking on the menu name.
The program used for running commands on remote computers.
The program must accept the same syntax as the standard
rsh command, and should be configured to run
the command remotely without any additional interaction (such as
requesting a password from the TTY). The default value is
/usr/bin/ssh.
The shell program to run a shell script. The value of this property is the path to the shell executable, optionally followed by command-line options to pass to the shell, separated by spaces. The filename of the shell command is appended to the command.
On GNU/Linux systems, the default is
/bin/bash -norc -noprofile. On
other UNIX-like systems, the default is
/bin/sh.
