Unit Test repos - Upgrade to SqlDev 3.0.04 from SqlDev 2.1.1.64

Question

Hi all,
I just installed the new SQL Developer 3.0 (3.0.04).
I have a Unit Test Repository that I created under SQL Developer 2.1.1.64 and when I get the new version 3 SQL Developer to connect to it I get a error stating that "No Repository was found on the selected connection. Would you like to create one now?"
There is certainly a repos there so I say no.
I tried the Tools|Unit Test|Create\Update repository menu option assuming it does an upgrade and I get prompted for sys credentials.
I do not want to loose my existing tests and they still work fine from SQL Deveoper 2.1 so my repos is not corrupted.
I have looked all over the doco for SQL Dev 3 but I am unable to find any detail about how to deal with upgrading the repos. Infact I cannot find any info about installing the repos from scratch??
Hope someone can help.
Cheers

Hi Chris,
I spent many hours with UT in SQL Developer and I think, that I know, where is your problem.
UT repository is only a group of tables, views, user rights and so on. When you go to c:\Program Files\sqldeveloper-3.0\sqldeveloper\extensions\, you can find file oracle.sqldeveloper.unit_test.jar.
Rename this file to zip and unpack.
Then go to oracle.sqldeveloper.unit_test.zip\oracle\dbtools\unit_test\repository\20\ and here you have some useful scripts.
If you want update your repository, just run update20.sql.
Then you must grant rights:
create role UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR;
create role UT_REPO_USER;
grant create public synonym,drop public synonym to UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR;
grant select on dba_role_privs to UT_REPO_USER;
grant select on dba_role_privs to UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR;
grant select on dba_roles to UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR;
grant select on dba_roles to UT_REPO_USER;
grant ut_repo_user to UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR with admin option;
grant UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR to "YOUR_UT_ADMIN_USER" with admin option;
Thats all, hope this helps...
