When creating a new project or loading a new project, the CTT is checking if certificates are available in that project, if not a dialog pops up asking whether scripts should be created or not.
In a CI System we usually expect that the CTT project to be loaded and being created beforehand and then copied where needed to be loaded and run. Are you using the CTT in this manner in your CI system or are you using a different approach?

Also whenever upgrading to a new CTT release I do highly recommend to create a new project and import the settings from the old project to make sure all the latest updates are picked up in the system.

I hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

We were using the CTT tool a little bit differently in a CI scenario. The tool was running previously in a docker container, where, before the tests were run, we would install the tool, generate the certificates, and then open the project file. Example:

RUN dpkg -i /tmp/uactt_1.2.336.273_i386.deb
&& chmod 777 -R /opt/opcfoundation/uactt/ServerProjects/PKI
RUN sed -i 's/CERTNO/CERTO/g' /opt/opcfoundation/uactt/certificate_generator/create_ctt_pki.sh

And then, the test would be started in the normal way like this:
xvfb-run /bin/sh /opt/opcfoundation/uactt/uacompliancetest.sh --result log.result.xml --settings UaServer_ExampleProject.ctt.xml --close 2> stderr_logs.txt

But that does not function anymore with the AppImage file, and we need to save all certificates files and javascript tests (which are normally generated on the fly).
It is not a problem at all, it will work like that, I just wanted to ask if there is a way out of saving them, if I am maybe missing something.

Thank you and many regards.

Hello epetrevska,

may I ask you something?

I tried to run the AppImage in a Jenkins slave, but alothough the parameters are given like -h -c -s <project> -r <result>
The test won't start because there is no X-server, the DISPLAY environment is missing, because the VM has no monitor.

How do you overcome this obstacle?

Thanks
Bernd.

Hi Bernd,

I had to install "xvfb" and then run it with "xvfb-run" (also visible in the previous comment). But, I have only tested this with the previous version of the UA CTT Tool, when the tool was still a Debian file. But, it is exactly solving the problem you described - the display environment problem.
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/xvfb-run.1.html

I hope that helps you further,
Many greetings,
Elena

Hi Elena,

thanks a lot, that solved my problem.
BTW, regarding your problem, did you know that app image can also be started with the
option --appimage-mount ?
This mounts only a read-only file system with everything in it, and prints the path name.
From there you could in theory copy everything to a different path, do your mods and run
the usr/bin/uacompliancetest directly.

Thanks
Bernd.

Hi Bernd,

Anytime, I am glad it helped.
Thank you so much for the info, I will try it out.

Thank you and have a great day,
Elena

After the discussion with Bernd I assumed the describe approach would be sufficient. Please let me know, if there is still a change to the CTT deliverables needed.

would we want to copy some of the notes in this issue into the help file?
