[Solved] Design Canvas does not record RadWindow actions in Silverlight app

[Slavisa Radicevic]

Hello,
I am trying to use Design Canvas 2.0 to record actions done in my Silverlight application. Every action done before the moment when any new window gets opened is normally recorded and can be seen in test explorer (like logging and clicking menu item). When new window gets opened, by clicking at some menu item, It can not even get highlighted and, of course, actions are not recorded. And also when I look at DOM explorer there is no window in it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Slavisa,

Thank you for your interest in WebUI Test Studio.

Indeed, I can confirm about such a limitation currently in WebUI Test Studio for Silverlight. It concerns those popups that are not part of the visual tree (so you don't see it in the visual tree) thus those can't be accessed and automated. We're researching a possible way to work around that and will update the automation tool as soon as a stable solution is implemented.

I will make sure this thread gets updated as well. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any other feedback or questions popup.

Sincerely yours,
Konstantin Petkov

Hello Mukul,

Unfortunately, we do not have a solid timetable on when WebUI will support the Silverlight child windows.

Please check back with us as we update what has changed in each version of WebUI and will update when this particular feature will be added.

All the best,

Hi,

I have some problem when I make a test for an application made with ASP.NET. All operation passed the validation until the program open a RadWindow and write something in a textbox or other controls in the page.

Is it a bug like the way it did for Silverlight ?

Thanks for your help,
Sebastien

Hi Sebastien,

Thanks for the post and I'm sorry you ran into this problem. This is acutally another known issue that should be fixed in the next relase of WebUI.

When recording in a RadWindow, the elements will be contained within a frame.

A recorded page element within the RadWindow frame is highlighted with a yellow arrow in WebUI Elements Explorer Window when the corresponding test step is selected.

In the Elements Explorer for this test, the FrameAdvancedForm frame node corresponds to the RadWindow and is recorded with an Index, Name, and Src property which is recorded in error.

- The work around is: Right Click on the FrameAdvancedForm node -> Click Properties -> In Visual Studio's Properties Window FrameInfo node-> Clear out both Name and Src (only Index should remain)

This work around will work for any RadWindow, and please bare with us as we should have this fixed in the next release.

Hello Sebastien,

This is just a follow-up to my colleague's response. The latest release of WebUI Test Studio from February 24th (labeled 2009.3.1424) resolves the problem with the Html RadWindow recording. For all the updates in this product version, please review the list of changes here.
