Coded step errors in AJAX setting

[Alex Rak]

Hi,

I'm testing an AJAXified RadGrid on a web page. I want to make sure that sorting works properly. So I've created a coded step that would iterate each row, pool the values from a given column, and compare the list to a sorted sample.

The step passes if I run it right after the initial page load, but when I start clicking grid headers before running my step, that's when it hits the fan.

All my steps that simulate clicking different column headers, do pass. The grid's content is getting updated via AJAX on each click, though. When it's time for my coded step to be executed I have two issues:

(1) the test fails as it seems to be using the initial loaded page content (not the version updated via AJAX), and

(2) I can't debug the code using breakpoints as the debugger gives me the following error: "Unable to apply this change while debugging. File '(snip)\Pages.g.vb' was reloaded. You must revert the change or stop the debugging session."

So it seem like the Pages.g.vb file is regenerated with each AJAX call, but the coded step is bound to the inital version.

How would I fix this scenario?

Regards.

Hi Alex Rak,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this. After each click on a column header element, you need to wait for the AJAX Postback to complete as seen in this article. Once it's completed, your coded step should act against the updated grid content.

The Pages.g.vb file is dynamically generated on each run, so it's not allowed to have that file open during debugging, otherwise you'll receive the "Unable to apply this change while debugging.." error.

If you continue to have difficulty, would it be possible to provide us with the means to reproduce the issue locally(either in your app or on a public site)? If not, a Jing video demonstrating and the issue may also help us to better understand what is happening.

Hi Plamen, thanks for getting back on this.

I do have delays in my test to make sure AJAX response is processed. I'm attaching the test VS2010 project.

If you run the test in debug mode, you will see that the it fails as the test column data is stale.

Now, try to set a breakpoint inside the coded step, and navigate it with "Step Forward (F10)". The compiler will never get there.

So what exactly am I missing here?

Regards.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for providing the project. I was able to reproduce the issue and logged it as a bug here: Public URL. This turned out to be a complex issue however, and our developers will need more time to fix it. I'll update this thread once we have a fix for this.

I have also updated your Telerik points for discovering the issue.

All the best,
