After the URL changed , the execution failed.

[Ibrahim Imam]

I create some web tests , after the URL changed , i modified it in my steps the and run my tests , the new url opened "that's ok" ,
but i face another problem : all primary target changed
ex:
in the login page i have username textbox:

the old primary target =  /NegPoint/FrameFrmNegPoint/CphContentPageTxtUsernameText

now the primary target = /NegPoint_3/FrameFrmNegPoint/CphContentPageTxtUsernameText

so the the first segment of the id that is different ,the execution failed.

Hi Ibrahim Imam,

In scenarios like this we recommend using the BaseURL feature. There are two parts to this feature:

1. Setting the BaseURL for recording
2. Setting the BaseURL to actually use during playback

The recording BaseURL modifies how NavigateTo steps and elements are recorded in Elements Explorer. The setting is controlled in the User Settings from the Project tab:

1. On the Project click Show Settings
2. Click the Recording Options tab
3. In the BaseURL enter the URL of the host you will be recording your test against (e.g. http://qa.testserver_01)
4. Click a different property just so that the above change is stored
5. Click OK to save your change

Now record your test.

During playback you want to create a test list, place your newly recorded test in it, and modify the BaseURL property for that test list.

1. On the Test Lists tab select the test list you want to change the setting for
2. Click Edit Settings in the ribbon bar
3. Scroll down to BaseURL
4. Enter the URL of the host you want the test list to actually use (e.g. http://stage.testserver_02)
5. Click OK to save the change

Now when you go to run that test list, it will use the modified BaseURL at runtime instead of the URL it was recorded with.

You can still take advantage of the BaseURL feature on already recorded test.  Modify the URL of the NavigateTo steps e.g. from http://myserver.com/default.aspx to ~/default.aspx. Then set the BaseURL of the test list and I previously described.

Hope that clarifies this feature and how to use it. Let me know if you have further questions on this.

Hi Ibrahim Imam,

It was nice to have the chance to talk to you this morning. I am sorry we were not able to solve your problem right away. Here are the steps we will take together to get this resolved:

1. Download our current version which is 2010.1.5.18.
2. Make a backup copy of your current solution.
3. Uninstall your current version (2010.1.4.12).
4. Install the new 2010.1.5.18 version.
5. Try your L1 test again to see if it fixes your BaseURL problem.
6. If it still does not work as expected then put your entire test project into a .ZIP file and attach it as a file to a new support ticket.

Thank you for your patience while we work together to get this resolved for you.
