not sure about the steps but most likely like this: EXEC: Launch Application wizard and get back and forth with the pages EXEC: always provide the same name etc.and make it scalable EXEC: create an app ASSERT: Application creation times out EXEC: try again ASSERT: get told that the app already exists ASSERT the app that was created has an appType null when listed in the OpenShift Explorer (for Max the app is in man domain and called water , it is scalable) EXEC: open OpenShiftExplorer and list the domain with the faulty application Result: Refreshing does nothing, the gear-icons stays and no applications are listed.
