Hints and tips for troubleshooting with Diffblue Cover using Windows

This topic provides general troubleshooting information - please refer to the Output Codes topic for more specific details.
Test writing pauses unexpectedly
The combination of a Windows terminal and a mouse event problem can occasionally cause test writing to be paused, until the Enter key is pressed. This is a problem with Windows, but Diffblue can suggest the following workarounds:
Use the Enter key as required.
Disable QuickEdit Mode in the Windows terminal. To do this, right click on the Title bar, choose Properties, select the Options tab, uncheck QuickEdit Mode, and click OK.
Redirect the tests to be written to a file instead, by using the command dcover create > output.txt (where output.txt is the file to which you would like the tests to be written). Using --batch is recommended so that the output is readable. Note that pressing the Enter key will always ensure that your test writing continues.
