Importing Existing Custom Actions into Qualitia

You can generate the source code files for the custom actions easily using these commands.

1. Launch command prompt.
2. Navigate to the %localappdata%\QualitiaWDClient\app-7.1.0\Dist
3. Enter the following command:

   “java -jar jd-cli.jar "<CLASS_FILE_SOURCE_PATH>" -od "<DESTINATION_FOLDER_TO_SAVE_SOURCE_CODE>"
   
   

   C:\Users\<HOSTNAME>\AppData\Local\QualitiaWDClient\app-7.1.0\Dist>java -jar jd-cli.jar "D:\ClassFiles" -od "D:\JavaFiles"
   21:21:06.078 INFO  jd.cli.Main - Decompiling D:\ClassFiles
   21:21:06.095 INFO  jd.core.output.DirOutput - Directory output will be initialized for path D:\JavaFiles
   21:21:06.412 INFO  jd.core.output.DirOutput - Finished with 2 class file(s) and 1 resource file(s) 

   Post executing this command, source code files will be added at the destination folder. You can use them now to build and compile Eclipse project.

To create and compile custom action project:

1. Launch Eclipse and create a new java project using an execution environment as JRE 1.8.
2. Set the bin folder as an output folder.
3. Add new folder and name it as lib.
   The complete folder hierarchy will look something like this in the project directory.
   
   
   
   
4. Add all the existing custom action files in this directory.
   1. Add all the dependency files in the lib folder. 
   2. Add all the compiled class files in the bin folder.
   3. Add all the java source files in the src folder. 
5. Compile and build the Eclipse project.
   Actions are now ready to be imported.

You can import the project existing set of custom actions in Qualitia to share with the other project members easily.

2. Navigate to the project in which you want to import the custom action code.
   You will see the notification about importing custom actions on the top.
3. Click Import.
4. Provide path to the the Eclipse project which we have created and compiled earlier.
5. After importing all the custom action files successfully, click Close.

   The Custom Action Repository Path under Configuration Settings will be set automatically to this new directory created under Qualitia Project Path.
6. In case there are any issues while importing the actions, these will be listed which can be exported in the HTML report.
