Specify actorTags and session label when creating sessions by command line

[TripleG]

Hi,

Could you please consider of adding the possibility to specify actorTags and session label when creating a session from the command line?

Right now if I want to specify these options, I am forced to use the WebAPI, but when I use the WebAPI I lose the feature of command line's --wait which is very useful when using Jenkins. The only workaround I am thinking of is to keep polling the session status using the WebAPI until it is finished, which is not very efficient and unnecessarily complicates the process.

The point is to make command line and WebAPI have the same possibilities regarding creating a session, so they can be used interchangeably

The --actorTags CLI option is something I was looking to add for some time now but kept getting postponed since nobody needed it (or at least nobody was asking for this). It's not a big effort so I think I should be able to add it before the end of next week.

Thank you! Are you planning to include --sessionLabel option as well?

Btw, when should we expect the new 1.3 release?

OpenTest version 1.3.4 was just published with the beta tag. The new version adds support for two new CLI options: --actor-tags and --session-label. Please let me know if it works as intended and sorry it took a bit longer than expected.

Usage example:

opentest session create -t Template1 --session-label "My custom label" --actor-tags tag1,tag2

You can install the new version with npm i opentest@beta -g. If you can confirm this works as intended I should be able to promote this to "latest" pretty soon.

Hi @adrianth ,

I am having issues with the --wait option on version 1.3.4. When I try to use it, this error is thrown

C:\test_automation\opentest-server\server>opentest session create -t "_regression_us" --session-label "_regression_us[us-dev, windows, chrome]" --actor-tags "windows-chrome" --wait 30000

This was a bug that slipped into the 1.3.4 build, sorry for that. I have just published version 1.3.6 with the fix. Please run the npm i opentest@beta -g command again to get the new build.

[TripleG]

Version 1.3.6 seems fine, thank you!
