Use Microflow Call Hierarchy Extension in Studio Pro

Watch installation video!


Howto​

This document describes how to import and configure the Microflow Call Hierarchy extension , so you can use it in Mendix Studio Pro.

The Microflow Call Hierarchy extension can be used on a microflow in Mendix Studio Pro, to hierarchically view all submicroflows that are called from that microflow in a tree structure.

The Microflow Call Hierarchy extension can also be used to generate a microflow test in Menditect Test Automation (MTA), and view test cases where that microflow is executed.

Installation​

To use the Microflow Call Hierarchy extension, you must have installed Mendix Studio Pro 10.6.3 or higher.

To install the Microflow Call Hierarchy extension:

Microflow Call Hierarchy​

To view the Microflow Call Hierarchy:

  • Make sure the App Explorer tab is visible in Studio Pro.
  • Right-click on any Microflow in the App Explorer.
  • Select the "Menditect" sub menu.
  • Click on "Microflow Call Hierarchy".

Mendix will open the Microflow Call Hierarchy tab and show all submicroflows called from the selected microflow, hierarchically.

Double-click on any of the microflows in this tab, to open it in Studio Pro.

Known limitations​

  • Rules are not shown in the hierarchy view.
  • Viewing a very large microflow call hierarchy will crash the extension webviewer tab in Studio Pro.
  • Switching Apps in Studio Pro may crash the extension in Studio Pro.
  • Excluded microflows are not viewed differently than included microflows.
  • If the project contains errors, the call hierarchy is not reliable.
  • If the Test Configuration that was configured for saving created Test Cases is deleted, the extension will show "An unexpected error has occured".
  • It is not possible to view the call hierarchy of microflows in the System module.
  • Using SSO for the credentials that are used to login to MTA is not supported.
  • Incorrect configuration of the constants in the Deeplink module may lead to errors in the web viewer.
  • Clicking the Open in MTA to Edit button on the "Test runs" page currently results in an empty browser tab.
  • Using mouse back & forward buttons to navigate back and forward in the webviewer, results in unexpected behaviour of the extension.
  • A large number of user sessions can appear in MTA when using the extension intensively.
  • Using the extension in Studio Pro under MacOS is currently not supported.
