Release Date: June 30th, 2020

Recommended Update: Squish 6.6.1

All Editions¶

• Squish IDE: At a breakpoint picking and Record Snippet in the menu and context menu may be disabled. (Can occur with Squish for Web, or when automatic AUT start is enabled.) (b7d9801)

  Solution: Please contact Squish technical support to obtain a Squish package with a fix for this. (Fixed on 2020-07-07.)

• Squish IDE: Opening files (test scripts, test data, verification points) in the Squish IDE may be slow. (SQUISH-13079, SQUISH-13075)

  Solution: Please contact Squish technical support to obtain a Squish package with a fix for this. (Fixed on 2020-07-10.)

• Squish IDE: Starting the IDE on macOS 11 Big Sur shows an empty Mainwindow or a lot of error dialogs related to "at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control.internal_new_GC(Control.java:2176)"

  Workaround: We advise customers to either use remote testing and run the IDE on a supported macOS version or contact us via a new support request, created at 'Support Center' at https://account.qt.io/ .

• Drag & Drop on Windows: Drag & Drop on Windows may fail. (SQUISH-13078)

  Solution: Please contact Squish technical support to obtain a Squish package with a fix for this. (Fixed on 2020-07-12.)

• squishserver: Upon closing (for example via squishserver --stop), squishserver/_squishserver may crash. (a3bd5ff)

  Solution: Please contact Squish technical support to obtain a Squish package with a fix for this. (Fixed on 2020-07-02.)

• Installer: The HP Sure Sense utility incorrectly detects the Squish IDE (squishide.exe) as a malicious program and quarantines it. This is indicated by warning messages shown during Squish installation. Also, the Squish IDE does not start up.

  A bug report has been opened to discuss solutions to the issue.

  Solution: At the time of this writing, the only known remedy is to temporarily disable HP Sure Sense before running the Squish installation program.

• Release Notes: The Squish 6.6 release notes specify an incorrect minimum Perl version required for building the Perl 5 support when compiling Squish source packages. Perl 5.18 is required, Perl 5.14 (as mentioned in the release notes) is not recent enough.

• Squish IDE: Creating image based interaction results in error Failed saving the image file, Error writing image to file [...]

  Solution: Despite the error dialog showing this message the respective script commands will be recorded and the search image be stored properly. Just ignore this error message. (Fixed on 202-09-17.)
