Hi everyone.

We are testing a web-application with framed main window, so our tests look lite that:

Settings mySettings = new Settings(BrowserType.FireFox, @"d:\");
mySettings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;
 
Manager myManager = new Manager(mySettings);
 
myManager.Start();
myManager.LaunchNewBrowser();
 
myManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("file:///d:/test.html");
Element mybtn = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Frames[0].Find.ByName("press_me");
HtmlControl htmlControl = new HtmlControl(mybtn);
 
//fine in IE and FF
htmlControl.Click();
 
//error in FF only
htmlControl.MouseClick(MouseClickType.LeftClick);
 
//error in FF only
myManager.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, mybtn.GetRectangle());
 
//error in IE and FF
myManager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.Click(mybtn);
 
//error in FF and IE
myManager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.InvokeEvent(mybtn, ScriptEventType.OnClick);
 
myManager.Dispose();

Here you can see finding a button in the first frame and then clicking it in five different ways.

The html code is like that:

<html>
<head></head>
<frameset cols="25%,*,25%">
  <frame src="frame_a.html" />
  <frame src="frame_b.html" />
  <frame src="frame_c.html" />
</frameset>
</html>

and the frame_a.html is
<html>
<body>
<input type="button" name="press_me" value="press_me" onclick="alert('Hello world!')"/>
</body></html>


But after I tested the code, I discovered that FF fails to click on it almost in every case, and IE fails in the last two.
Though the code and HTML page seem valid, could somebody, please, tell what is wrong?
Using IE 7, FF 3.6.7 and 3.5.1, WebAii 2.0 the lates build.

The error produced is like
Unhandled Exception: ArtOfTest.WebAii.Exceptions.ExecuteCommandException: Execut
eCommand failed!
InError set by the client. Client Error:
System.ArgumentException: Tag collection is either empty or has less elements th

Hi Yaroslav,

Thanks for the post, I was able to reproduce some of the problems you are encountering and will investigate further.

In the mean time, please try using the htmlControl.Click(); method as much as possible as most html controls do respond to this and do not require a simulated mouse click.

Best wishes,

Hi Nelson,

and thanks for the reply.
In fact, we try to use HtmlControl.Click() method all the time, but some controls in our application do not respond to it.
Thus we'll be unable running tests in FF until mouse click emulation works.

So I'm looking forward hearing some news on this issue.

Best regards,
Yaroslav

Hi again Yaroslav,

So it looks like the following still works in the sample page you sent:

HtmlControl htmlControl = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames[0].Find.ByName<HtmlControl>("press_me");
htmlControl.InvokeEvent(ScriptEventType.OnClick);

Hope that helps.

Hi Nelson,

and thanks for your help.

I don't know why, but the last piece of code doesn't work inf Firefox producing the following error:

InError set by the client. Client Error:
mozCommandProcessor: FindElement(): Tag collection is either empty or has less elements than the element occurrence requested.TagName: a, Occurrence Requested: 0, All Tags Collection length: 0
BrowserCommand

By the way, on this test page I'm unable to use the method Element.GetRectangle() — it produces similar errors.

Is it possible I have something wrong in my FF settings?

All the best,
Yaroslav

Hello again Yaroslav,

I re-checked the code, and it seemed to work for me again. Here is link to configuring Firefox if you have not seen it already and I'm testing in the latest 3.6.8 Firefox version.

Hi Nelson,

I really cannot figure out what is happening, but even after reconfiguring Firefox the code didn't work.
Sad but fact. Thanks for your help.

All the best,
Yaroslav

Hi again Yaroslav,

Sorry about that, I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I checked the bug I logged for this, and it's in the works. I gave your account 500 points for reporting this, thanks again.

All the best,
Nelson

Hi Nelson,

sorry for consuming your time for so long.

I've re-checked the code you gave me and now HtmlControl.InvokeEvent works fine in FF on my test page, but fails in our application.
Anyway, this means that the problem is in our code, too.

Thanks a lot for your help, now we know at least where to look for bugs.

Best regards,
Yaroslav.

Hello kovyar,

Do you still get the FF error running the latest 2010.2.806 build of the framework? It seems one of our recent fixes resolves this FF error for other customers so your confirmation that also worked for you could help as well.

Hi Konstantin,

I've just tested that build and it worked fine with our tests.

Thanks,
Yaroslav
