E-Mail test - only 1 test per mailbox at one time

rc · Post by rc » Thu May 10, 2012 1:24 am

Hi Alex,

I have a Problem with my new E-Mail tests.

We check in several folders the same IBM Lotus Notes POP3 mailbox with different conditions.

A lot of tests have the error reply:

"171: -ERR The system was unable to log hostmonitor-mail-test in. Maildrop opened for exclusive access by another user."

I mark this results as "Normal" but this is only a workaround.

My wish: Is it possible to integrate an option: "only 1 test per mailbox at one time"

Thanks

Enrico

You may place all E-Mail tests for one e-mail into one folder and enable "Non-simultaneously test execution" option for that folder.

Quote from manual:
Non-simultaneously test execution. With this option enabled tests that located in the folder will not be executed at the same time. Test items located in different folders may be executed simultaneously even in case option is set for all of these folders. Option is useful when you need to call some non-reentrant application/script.

...Thank you for your answer.

I know this option but this is not a solution for me.

Our concept is to represent all tests for one server in one folder.

You may put all e-mail tests related to this mailbox in one folder, then use Links to show test representation in different folder(s)
