Test writing pauses unexpectedly
The combination of a Windows terminal and a mouse event problem can occasionally cause test writing to be paused, until the Enter key is pressed. This is a problem with Windows, but Diffblue can suggest the following workarounds:
- Use the
Enter
key as required. - Disable
QuickEdit Mode
in the Windows terminal. To do this, right click on the Title bar, choose Properties, select the Options tab, uncheck QuickEdit Mode, and click OK. - Redirect the tests to be written to a file instead, by using the command
dcover create > output.txt
(whereoutput.txt
is the file to which you would like the tests to be written). Using--batch
is recommended so that the output is readable. Please note: Pressing theEnter
key will always ensure that your test writing continues.
