View for items with an expression on "this test depends

[merce]

Hi!

I have a lot of tets with and expression on "This test depends on" like:

('%::Ping: %Folder%::SimpleStatus%'=="UP")

They're status is Unkown a lot of times, althoug the ping alert is OK, so I want to modify all of them to "This test depends on another test" and insert there the test of the ping directly.

I need a view to see quickly which tests I need to modify, but I'm trying to do something like this in the view properties and it doesn't work:

Select items using expresson
%MasterTest%=="('%::Ping: %Folder%::SimpleStatus%'=="UP")"

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You are using another variable instead of test name?
I don't think we ever officially supported such option

Why do you think "Unknown" status caused by Master expression?
What exactly error do you see in Reply field?
Test method?
HostMonitor version?

This should not work. %MasterTest% is name of the test item, even if you setup "depends on expression" option, this variable returns test name.

If you want to find such tests, probably the only "quick" option - export tests into text file (menu File->Export...)

Hello and thanks for you fast support!

I'm a bit new with this... i will try to answer you:

I have a hostname as a folder, and then, inside each folder, a lot of tests depending on this expression, that pretends to do a ping to the hostname.

Sorry... i mistake there. The status is waiting for master, althoug the machine does ping. If I change the master expresion to a "another test" and I put there a ping test to the machine, the status is never waiting for master if the machine does ping.

It happens in different test methods, count files, process, services...

My HM version is: 10.10

Thanks, i will try to.

If you have test named "Ping hostname.com" then you may use exression ('%::Ping hostname.com::SimpleStatus%'=="UP")
On the other hand, its better to use "This test depends on another test" option for such simple expressions.
