FileUploadDialog error

[Garry]

I get the following errors when I try to use the below code. I am trying to Upload a file where the file name is Data Driven and the file path from the project. I have the recorded step still, but disabled in the test. If I can use the "fullPath" variable in the recorded step, that would work for me also.

Hello Garry,

You are missing

using ArtOfTest.WebAii.Win32.Dialogs;

That worked. Most of the examples that I have found in the Forum are not working for the FileUploadDialog. It almost seems like Telerik does not see the Dialog window appear.

The recorded "Handle 'FileUpload' dialog works without any issues, I just need to make it Data Driven from a Coded step.

Hi Garry,

I'm glad that worked for you. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I am still having some issues with the FileUploadDialog. It does not see the Dialog at first, but if I close the window and re-open it, Telerik will now see the window and work correctly. I have a Manual step right after this step so I am able to do this.

Additional info, this only happens on the first Iteration of the Dataset.

Another issue that I have noticed, the file path typed is not the data that should be there. I have confirmed this by writing to the logs the Path, then verifying the data which was uploaded.

string DocumentName = String.Concat("Submission_Documents\\", Data["SubmissionDocument"]);
string fullPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(this.ExecutionContext.DeploymentDirectory, DocumentName);

Log.WriteLine("fullPath: '" + fullPath + "'");

FileUploadDialog fileDialog = new FileUploadDialog(ActiveBrowser, fullPath, DialogButton.OPEN, "Choose File to Upload");

Manager.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(fileDialog);

Manager.DialogMonitor.Start();

I had the following lines before, but I have an issue with the Find.ByName throwing an exception. So I commented them out.

//HtmlInputFile fileUpload = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByName<HtmlInputFile>("fileinput");
//fileUpload.Click();

Thanks,
Garry

Hi Garry,

With the coded changes you have made (commenting out the button click and probably the WaitUntilHandled step as well) I am imagining this could be a C# garbage collection issue. The haard I see with a coded step like this:

Copy Code

[CodedStep(@"File Upload")]
public void Edit_Upload_Document_FileUpload()
{
    string DocumentName = String.Concat("Submission_Documents\\", Data["SubmissionDocument"]);
    string fullPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(this.ExecutionContext.DeploymentDirectory, DocumentName);

    Log.WriteLine("fullPath: '" + fullPath + "'");

    FileUploadDialog fDialog = new FileUploadDialog(ActiveBrowser, fullPath, DialogButton.OPEN);
    Manager.Current.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(fDialog);
    Manager.Current.DialogMonitor.Start();
}

As soon as the coded step is complete, your fDialog variable goes out of context and becomes a candidate for automatic garbage collection by C#. If it does get reclaimed that naturally it won't work. If this is the construct you're trying to take, put your fDialog into a global/class variable outside of any method.

Other than that, it appears your approach should work reliably. Can you send us a test that repro's this behavior? Can we run it to study this issue and try to determine what is causing this problem? I have implemented upload dialogs in code before and have had great success getting them to run reliably fully automated.
