Bug fixes
| ID | MTA-731 |
|---|---|
| Problem | When entering the Mendix username and API key on the My Account page sometimes the username was not saved correctly, due to Chromium browsers autofilling the field. This resulted in the MTA user not being able to download any Mendix models but also not being alerted about the fact that the username was not saved. |
| Solution | Alert the user when the username is not correctly filled in upon entering Mendix username and API key. |
| Release actions | Some MTA nodes currently have Mendix users where the username is unknown. A migration script will be executed on these MTA nodes where the username will be set to "user unknown". Please check the My Account page when not being able to download any Mendix models in MTA. |
| ID | MTA-726 |
|---|---|
| Problem | When enabling "Trim value" for assert on a String attribute the result would always be Passed if the attribute is of type "String unlimited". |
| Solution | "Trim value" for assert on a String attribute now works as expected. |
| Release actions | None. |
| ID | MTA-715 |
|---|---|
| Problem | When using a list of objects that is returned from a microflow teststep, an error would occur if the microflow returned 'empty' (instead of a list with 0 objects). |
| Solution | Using a list returned from a microflow no longer results in an error. |
| Release actions | None. |
