TestCafe Studio - Stale External JS Files/Inaccurate Test Step Drag n' Drop/Save-Undo-Redo

created 5 years ago (modified 5 years ago)

Hello,

My organization recently purchased licensing for TestCafe Studio. I found a few bugs and issues with the IDE that I would love to see addressed.

Bugs

  1. External JS files that are used within scripted blocks of TestCafe Studio are not refreshed until you close and re-open TestCafe studio. This makes it very frustrating to debug/update code. It seems like maybe the file cache is not cleared every test run.
  2. Dragging and dropping test steps is not very accurate. Sometimes, when moving an test step to a specific location, it will jump four or five spaces up from it's intended location.

QOL

  1. It would be really nice to have a save/undo/redo feature within the IDE. It is very easy to accidentally delete a test step and there is no way to recover it unless using Git tools.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I've created a new ticket to discuss this issue. Please refer to it for further discussion.

We are improving the drag and drop right now and planning to include these enhancements with the next release. I hope you will like it.

Thank you for your feedback, it does matter. We keep the undo/redo feature in mind, but unfortunately it requires massive refactoring that we can't afford right now. We will probably implement it in one of future versions.
