Using CommandLineAdapters

Hi,

I have been playing with the sample CommandLineAdapter that comes with RQM, and have to say I'm not that impressed.

As it uses Runtime.exec(), which isn't a shell, so we can't do any variable replacement and command concatenation (using ; or && for instance).
Runtime.exec() also has many well publicised faults, mainly with it's handling of quotes etc.

I have managed to get around these first stumbling blocks by modifying the java to write out the command line to a temporary file, and execute that with a shell, leaving the Runtime.exec() method to only have "sh script.sh" in it's argument.


How are others using the commandLineAdapter ? Have you created your own version based on the sample one, or does that one suffice for everybody else?

Has anyone else created a SSH adapter (on the server side), so that a java adpater is not required on the client machine, or is this integral to the way that RQM can automate the running of tests, and hence a non-starter from the outset?

I would be interested to hear how others have solved the problem of working this way when there are a lot of automated jobs to run through RQM

thanks in advance,
