Frequently Asked Questions

Below you can find a number of Frequently Asked Questions regarding the labwork of TI1706 - Softwarequality and Testing.

How do I contact the Teaching Team?

We use Slack for all communication.

• If you have a problem with DevHub, use the channel #dev-the-hub
• If you have a general question about the assignment, use the channel #general
• If you have a specific question, ask in #general for help. A TA will reach out to you as soon as we can. Do not post (partial) solutions in a public channel. That is considered fraud.

Is attending the lab compulsory?

No, it is not. You do need to sign off your work with your partner though, in order to get feedback from the TAs, before you submit your final version of each part.

Is it necessary to send an email about the group you're in?

No, this will be automatically registered on DevHub.

SSH authentication doesn't work

Double check that you did not forget to add the ssh key to the authentication agent and thus are unable to authenticate with the server. Adding the key is done with:

 ssh-add ./path/token

One of the signs that you forgot this, is that git asks you for a password.

On windows in git bash:

eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Which Java Version do I need?

As specified in the pom.xml, the minimum requirement is Java 1.8

My Project is Full of Compile Errors

Did you import your project as a maven project?

If not, enable this via:

Window -> Configure -> Convert to Maven Project

Maven reports that it can't find Javadoc on my Mac

1. Add export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) to your ~/.bash_profile file.
2. Find the following line in jpacman-framework/pom.xml: <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> Add the following line after the line you just found: <javadocExecutable>${java.home}/../bin/javadoc</javadocExecutable>

I can't get SourceTree to work

If SourceTree complains that the git url is not a repository: make sure that the SSH-key is set up correctly. Furthermore the key should be referenced in Tools -> Options -> General -> SSH Client Configuration and the specified SSH client should be OpenSSH.

Eclipse is Complaining about missing a JDK

Double check you have a JDK installed.

Your Eclipse should know about this JDK. You can specifically set the location Eclipse via:

(Windows) -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs
