 directory. The properties contain the name of the shortcut

When the dynamicVersion property is set to true, the version property is ignored, and the version of the project to be used is looked up by comparing the version of the Container type: AQ_Dashboard_ProjectWidget or Service call type: AQ_StartProject to the version of the project of the current session. If so, that version will be used, otherwise the version set with the version property will be used.

Info

When a feature is done and the corresponding branch is merged, the Test Path is not automatically deleted. As a maintainer of the shortcuts, you should remove Test Paths for these versions manually.
This way, the list of Test Paths to choose from will remain restricted to features that are still under development.

Info

It is possible to use a testPath when calling a Blueriq REST-service. To do this, add a header with key X-Blueriq-Test-Path and for value the name of your testPath.

Tip

When working with shortcuts for the AQ_StartProject service, you need to think of security. On a production server you set the runtime to blueriq.production.shortcuts-only=true so that end users can not start any flows directly themselves. As you need to create a shortcut for the application to be started, you do not want that end users could guess the shortcut name and start the flow themselves. For this reason, you should set the property blueriq.shortcut.[name].privateAccess=true for the shortcuts that are only used for the AQ_StartProject service, and which are not directly started by end users.
