Velocity: How to resolve Error Failed to decode packet when using showPacket command in test asset with Spirent TestCenter session?

Environment/Versions
Velocity
Spirent Test Center Application
Wireshark
Procedure
Since showPacket command will use Wireshark to decode the captured packets, the error ‘Failed to decode packet’ can be seen if:
  • Wireshark is not installed on the agent host
     or
  • Unsupported version of Wireshark is installed on the agent host
Check iTest compatibility matrix with Wireshark (iTest Installation guide)
The agent host needs to be configured with the correct path to Wireshark: the PATH system’s environment variable should contain the path to the Wireshark installation folder (C:\Program Files\Wireshark)
