Using Git Commands

SimplifyQA Code Editor provides built-in scripts to help you compile your custom code and push it to your Git repository for use in test automation.

Publishing Custom Jar to Git/BitBucket

After writing and building your custom method, you can publish it directly to your Git repository by using the publish.bat command.

Example: Publishing the code to GitLab

• Open the terminal in your Code Editor project directory

• One-Time Setup-

  • Once the custom methods are written and are error free, run the command:

    publish.bat

  • A one-time pop-up will appear prompting you to log in:

    • Git URL: Your GitLab repository URL will bce auto-populated

    • Username: Your GitLab username

    • Token: Your GitLab Personal Access Token

• After successful authentication, run the command again:

  publish.bat

• This will publish the custom jar to your GitLab repository and automatically generate a new tag. You can verify it by visiting your GitLab project and navigating to: Repository → Tags This tag contains your updated [Project_Name].jar with the custom method, allowing version tracking and easy reuse.

Other Commands (Windows)

• build.bat: Use this command before publishing to compile your code and generate the JAR file containing the new custom methods.

• push.bat (optional): If you want to only push your code (without publishing), use this command after building.

• sync.bat: Use this command after building the jar to sync the actions directly into the tool.

Mac Equivalent Commands

• macbuild.sh – for compiling the code (like build.bat)

• macpublish.sh – for publishing the compiled code to Git (like publish.bat)

• macsync.sh: for syncing the actions directly into the tool (like sync.bat)

In addition to these specific commands, users can also utilize standard Git commands such as clone, push, and pull, as well as common Maven commands as needed.
