Description UbikLoadPack support 2013-06-09 12:22:23 UTC
Hello,
We implemented a new Menu Option called "New from Templates"
The idea is the following (similar to first step described in Bug 55028):
- User can select from a set of configurable templates one that fits his use case
- When he select create, the template is copied to the user.dir folder and opened in JMeter, user can modify it.


For now there is no GUI to create new template but it can be done through edition of templates.xml file.

Thanks applied.
Comment 6 Milamber 2013-06-30 17:34:57 UTC

If you run a ant distribution task, the "bin/templates" directory aren't include in archive (tar.gz). 
And you have this error message on GUI :
Sorry, this feature (create_from_template) not yet implemented

I think, this (great) feature needs some documentation in user manual.

The Menu item "New from Templates" does not check if the test plan has been saved before replacing it, so it is possible to lose edits.

Comment 11 Milamber 2013-07-09 08:55:35 UTC

If the Template dialog box has a landscape orientation, I think that would be better to read the description.


I think too, the first template in combo box must be the Recording template. (perhaps rename "01-Recording")

Renaming won't work as they are stored in a HashMap.
Perhaps use LinkedHashMap? Or a List?
Also the method getTemplateNames needs to return a List or Array

Sorry, had overlooked the sort in SelectTemplateDialog.

However, I think it would be better to allow the template provider to specify the ordering within the xml files; i.e. the correct order should be returned by getTemplateNames.
