Can I run the system on the server by hitting the Run icon in the Corvid Editor?

It is possible to do this, but requires that several things be setup correctly. You must be connected to the server to have your browser display .html files and you must be able to write files to the server as if it were a disk drive.

  • In the Corvid editor, hit the Properties toolbar button and under "Development Tests Run Using" select "Specific Browser". Click the Browse button next to this option and select your browser program's .exe file, or type it in. It is probably something like:

    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe

  • Also on the Properties window, checkmark "Specific URL" and enter the URL for the .html file on the server (which must start with http://www.yourserver.com/...). Hit the Done button.

Now, when you hit Run in Corvid, it will start the specified browser with the URL address on the server. If your computer can directly write the .cvR file on the server, then you may also want to use the "Save CVR file in:" option.

If you are editing the CVD file directly on the server, remember that when you run the system, it will build a new standard .html file to use to run the system. This will overwrite your html file if they are the same name.
