Hi! Thank you for your video. I found and issue when in DB part. I'm getting this error #0 database->exec_query() called at [/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testlink/install/sqlParser.class.php:98] #1 SqlParser->process() called at [/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testlink/install/installNewDB.php:469] Any ideia of what it could be?

[@SuperSQA]

It looks like it is having hard time running sql or connecting to the database. Is that the only error? Can you also check the logs. Also open the files that are failing and see that what they are doing then see if you can do what it was supposed to do manually. I hope this helps.

[@OruamAF]

@@SuperSQA Thanks for the fast feedback. I check the logs and the problem was the same that @jannismeyer216 have. I update the file testlink_create_tables.sql and change the line "end_exec_ts timestamp NOT NULL," to "end_exec_ts timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP," . Once again thank you for the tutorial, is perfect :D

[@SuperSQA]

You are very welcome.

Thank you for this video

[@SuperSQA]

My pleasure

[@ApoProphet]

Hi, thank you for your video. I was almost done, when i also ran into the issue with the default value from "end_exec_ts". Unfortunately the query didn't worked for me. It said sql modes should be used with strict mode. Do you know what this means and why this appears? I am not that deep into sql yet, I experimented a little bit with the script and changed the command to " end_exec_ts timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,". It worked, but I don't really know what I now did set for this. Thank you for your help :D

[@OruamAF]

Had the same problem. Nice catch. Thanks ;)

[@jeetcool5541]

Thank you for this. I am having trouble opening "my settings" inside testlink, want to create users. Please suggest

[@crissatrapi3933]

I don't understand why I don't have the Requirement Specification menu at the left, I tried adding something on the config file, I searched on the internet but I still don'"'t have it. :(

[@samkiddsamkiddot5973]

Hello can you drop the query to run? You said it’ll be in the description

[@SuperSQA]

Hi Samkidd, I am sorry for missing that. I am adding it to the description now. But here is the query `set sql_mode = "ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION" `

[@25PavanKumar-j6d]

while i click on Settings icon it was displaying Blank page can you look into that and hope respond back with the solution.

[@SuperSQA]

Hi, it sounds like a very platform specific issue. If MAMP it self is giving you blank screen then something is wrong with MAMP. First try to uninstall MAMP and install it again. If the problem persists then use XAMPP instead of MAMP. They do the same thing just different application (different brands).

[@SuperSQA]

Actually XAMPP uses MariaDB and MAMP uses MySQL so not exactly the same and I have not tried it but it should work.

[@kinithhettiarachchi5841]

Can we use TestLink to manage gherkin scenarios?

[@SuperSQA]

I dont see why not. It is just a repository of test cases so you can add your gerhkin scenarios. You will use the test case name and then in the description you would put the steps.

[@apratimtripathi3403]

Hi sir, at time 08.29 when I am clicking continue after agreeing to the terms and condition I am getting this error "This page isn’t workinglocalhost is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500". Please help.

[@SuperSQA]

I did not experience a 500 error so I can not say what is wrong. Have you checked the log file? You should be able to see an error in the log file that will tell you what went wrong. The example log file "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testlink1/logs/userlog1.log". So look for a file like this on your machine. This path should give you an idea of where your log files are located.

[@shirleyugwa8016]

How I fixed this was to open the log file, checked the last logged error ("C:\MAMP\logs\php_error.log"), opened it on my terminal and saw this error "PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in C:\MAMP\htdocs\testlink\third_party\kint\inc\kintParser.class.php on line 463". Went back to my MAMP root folder and searched for "kintParser", opened it again on my terminal and went to the indicated line. Then corrected the curly braces {} to to square brackets []. Hope this helps.

[@samkiddsamkiddot5973]

The query isn’t in your description I’m experiencing that issue

[@SuperSQA]

Sorry I missed that. It is added now. You should be able to use it if you have not resolved it already.

[@manel1188]

Please i need help! i followed all the step and everything is ok but i want to run the testcases i receive this error: DB Access Error - debug_print_backtrace() OUTPUT START ATTENTION: Enabling more debug info will produce path disclosure weakness (CWE-200) Having this additional Information could be useful for reporting issue to development TEAM. ============================================================================== #0 database->exec_query() called at [/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Testlink/lib/functions/exec.inc.php:160] #1 write_execution() called at [/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Testlink/lib/execute/execSetResults.php:163]

[@SuperSQA]

Look at the logs to see what the error is. The logs are in /var/testlink/log folder most likely. I've discussed the problem in the video as well. It is most likely to do with one of the queries in the create tables script. The error I was getting is "errormsg:Invalid default value for 'end_exec_ts'" To solve this either modify the sql script so that the 'end_exec_ts' field has a default value, or connect to the database and execute this query. "SET @@GLOBAL.sql_mode = ''; But good idea to get the current value and and set it back since you are changing the mysql server mode. Get the current value with "SELECT @@sql_mode;" save it and then set it again. I hope this helps.

[@MrDobe1234]

Hi manel, I'm having the same issue. Were you able fix it?

[@Adammasterek]

7:22 - I'm lost here :D

[@sirinehadhri-ly7nx]

like you

[@SuperSQA]

At this part I am simply connecting to the database using MySQLWorkbench. If you have not used MySQLWorkbench do a quick search on it an you will be able to use it. It is fairly simple.
