I am attempting to do a basic test against our implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. In this test I am creating a new prospect which is fired from clicking a button. This button opens a new popup window which, in turn, opens another popup window to perform a pre-search. I am attaching a screenshot of the Project Elements so you can see. The issue that I am having is that when the pre-search is completed the system will automatically close the popup. This is recorded in the test explorer with an id value http://capomleaddev01/sfa/opps/edit.aspx?id=f20a81bd-9f21-df11-bd0b-000bcd9ce841. I cannot leave this in the test because the id value will be different for each test. Once I save the new prospect record in 'CreateProspectLead' that window is closed. If I deselect this step everything seems to be OK except for the last portion of my test.... Once all the windows have been closed I am left with the original screen. Within the test I want/need to click a button on the original screen. In this instance I am trying to click the ProspectsNobrTag under FrameWorkspaceFrame. When the test is run I receive the following error when it attemps to access this element.

ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Exceptions.ExecutionException: Unhandled exception thrown during automation step execution ---> System.Exception: Unable to find the target host (Browser/SilverlightApp) to locate an element. Failure:
at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteStep()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I dont know if disabling the 'Close pop-up window:' actions is the root cause of this but I am not sure how to get around the id issue or how to identify why it cannot locate the button. Any ideas on how to debug/fix?

Hello Aaron,

Thanks for the post and I'm sorry you ran into this problem. It seems like a rather complex scenario, and I'll try to reply as best I can based on your description.

For the test steps that records the connect to the popup and closes the popup with the complete url and id/query string you posted, you can change the url for the popup in the test steps' properties.

Please right click on the test step and select properties. Then in the Visual Studio Poperties window, you can change the url to be partial so that it uses as much of the popup window's url as possible without using the id/query string.

This should help in that you can record the sequence as you normally would with the popups, and can avoid the error in the test step from the screenshot. The error looks to be that the test is not finding the element on the current page since it maybe on the wrong browser instance.

Please post back if this does not help, and perhaps we can setup a Live Meeting to resolve this more easily.

All the best,

Hi Aaron,

This is just to update you about this problem.

The latest release of WebUI Test Studio from February 24th (labeled 2009.3.1424) resolves the problem with the Html recording in an IFrame having dynamically generated source url Nelson mentioned. If you want to give it a try, for all the updates in this product version, please review the changes listed here.

Hello,

I downloaded the latest version and the good news is that I was able to get farther in my test. The system was able to find and click the button it was erroring on previously... However, it is now failing on the step after the clicking of the button where it inputs data into a textbox on that same screen. Below is the error message that I receive. Would it be possible to setup a LiveMeeting to walk someone through this.

Hi Aaron Gorsky,

Just to follow up on the email I sent directly to you. I found that there seems to be a difference between the behavior of your CRM applicaton when it was recorded and when it is being played back. During recording, WebUI saw the elements being contained inside an IFrame and so it recorded them that way. But during playback that IFrame is not there. As a result it's looking for the IFrame it saw during recording, not finding it, and therefore throwing the error you see.

Please investigate why this difference in behavior of your application. Or can you demonstrate/prove that WebUI is incorrectly recording the elements as being contained in an IFrame when no IFrame actually exists. I was not able to reproduce such a problem in the VPC image you sent me. It was recording and playing back just fine for me.

All the best,
