Alright, so today I tackled this ‘atp 2 01’ thing. It’s the first step in the second big part of setting up our test system. Sounded simple enough on paper, but you know how these things go.
First thing I did was pull up the instructions we had. Pretty barebones, honestly. Just said to check the environment variables. Okay, easy peasy, right? Opened up the terminal on the test machine. Typed in the command to list the variables. `env` or something like that.
And bam. Half the stuff listed in the doc wasn’t there. Typical. So, step one turned into figuring out why they were missing. Had to dig back into the setup logs from the first phase, ‘atp 1’. Took me a good twenty minutes just scrolling through old logs. Found the problem eventually – the setup script for part 1 hadn’t finished cleanly. It died halfway through setting those environment vars.
Fixing the Mess
So, I couldn’t just jump into ‘atp 2 01’. Had to backtrack. Found the part of the script that set the variables. It wasn’t complicated stuff, just setting paths and maybe a license key placeholder.
I decided not to rerun the whole messy script from phase 1. Too risky, might break something else. Instead, I just manually set the missing variables needed for this ‘atp 2 01’ step. Here’s kinda what I had to set:
- The path to the main tools directory.
- The temp folder location.
- An ID for the test runner.
Checked them again using that `env` command. This time, everything looked okay. All the variables the ‘atp 2 01’ step needed were finally there.
With the variables sorted, the actual ‘atp 2 01’ step was… well, anticlimactic. It was just running a small verification script. It basically checks if it can reach the database and if the core tool responds. Ran the script. Watched the output. Green text. Success. Finally.
So yeah, ‘atp 2 01’ is done. Took longer than expected because of the prep work mess, but the step itself is now checked off. On to ‘atp 2 02’ tomorrow, I guess. Hopefully that one’s smoother.
