BrowserType is obsolete

[Stuart]

I'm confused. I've just downloaded Telerik Testing Framework 2013 Q1, I create a test project in VS 2012, add a VsUnit test item to the project, and set up the code as per the VS Test documentation:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/getting-started/using-visual-studio-team-test.aspx

However, I then see a warning message telling me that BrowserType is obsolete. Indeed ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.BrowserType has the following attribute:
[Obsolete("Use Telerik.TestStudio.Shared.Communication.Enums.BrowserType instead. Use this enum only for deserializing legacy results.")]
   
What am I doing wrong in that the docs tell me I might do the following, but I'd be using an obsolete enum.

Settings settings = GetSettings();

settings.DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.FireFox;

Initialize(settings, new TestContextWriteLine(this.TestContext.WriteLine));

I am not using the full Test Studio, I just want to use the Testing Framework to automate the browser for a few tests.

Thanks.

Hi Stuart,

Unfortunately Telerik.TestStudio.Shared.dll is not distributed in the GAC. You should add it manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Test Studio\Bin for every project.

If it is not acceptable for you keep using the deprecated enum. We will do something better in a future release, such as adding Telerik.TestStudio.Shared.dll to the GAC.

Please check out also this article.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hi Boyan,

Also unfortunate is the fact that Telerik.TestStudio.Shared.dll is not distributed in the test framework.... will it be in future relases of the framework?

I vote to NOT put it in the GAC - just reference it like you reference all the other stuff in Visual Studio.
