Sliverlight test as test step

[J Kabath]

I created a very simple sliverlight test and it run fine standalone.  Now I've made it a step in another test, and it fails every time.  The error message is...

InnerException:
System.TimeoutException: Timeout trying to connect to Silverlight App.
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.SilverlightApp.WaitUntilExtensionCreated(String extensionCall)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.SilverlightApp.Connect(Int32 timeout)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.SilverlightApp.GetApp(HtmlControl host, Int32 timeout, Boolean catchedOnly)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionUtils.GetHost(IAutomationHost topBrowser, ElementDescriptor element, Int32 appConnectTimeout, Boolean cachedSLAppOnly, String& error)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionUtils.GetHostEE(IAutomationHost topBrowser, ElementDescriptor element, String& error)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteStep()


It looks like it cannot find the sliverlight app.  Is this simply an issue of using nested test?

Hello Jay,

Thanks for the post and question, I was able to repro this in Dev Edition. The SilverlightEnabled property must be enabled on the outer, calling test.

In Visual Studio's Test View Window, if you right click on the outer WebAii test and select Properties, then you can enable the SilverlightEnabled property.

It's somewhat hidden, so I'll log a feature request to have this in a more opbious spot.

When I looked at that property it was already set to TRUE.  I tried to set it to FALSE so that I could set it back and it would not let me change it.  I recompiled the entire solutions and then it worked!

Thanks for the fast response, this testing tool really looks great!!!

I have upgraded to VS 2010 and now I am having a new problem with the same simple test.  The test fails and when I look at the warning it says that for the step test 'Deployment is currently disabled.'  How do I enable it?  I don't see it on the properties list of the solution, project of test file.  My old VS 2008 test still runs and I didn't knowing set any deployment property.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Jay,

Thanks for the post and question. Deployment Items are disabled by default in VS 2010. Please try the following in VS:

main menu->test->edit test run configurations->local test run->deployment->enable deployment

Here is the link from a Microsoft forum for reference.

All the best,
