How to invoke script on checkbox selection from pop-up menu?

[Dipali]

Hi,

The scenario I am trying to automate is:

1. Click on menu. It opens up a pop-up menu having different options listed along with the checkbox for each option.
2. Select the checkbox for an option.
3. Selection of check box adds one more option to the same menu called as ‘Apply’. Click the ‘Apply’ option.

Now I am trying to record this scenario using Telerik Test studio. When I am executing the recorded steps, I could successfully select the checkbox from pop-up menu. But after that ‘Apply’ option is not getting added to the same pop-up menu.

Could someone please advise me on how can I deal with the above scenario?

Hi Dipali,

This sound like a javascript event issue. Probably the underlying "onclick" javascript is not being triggered for the checkbox. Ensure the "InvokeOnClick" property is set to True for the "Check" step (see screenshot).
  
If it is and the javascript isn't triggering, you might try disabling that step and recording a Desktop Left Mouse click step on the checkbox instead from the Mouse Actions option on the Elements Menu.

Hi Plamen,

As you have shown in the image ‘InvokeOnClick.png’, InvokeOnClick propert is set to True in my case.

The second approach of adding a mouse click even through Elements menu: While trying to add mouse event I am facing a issue. When I select the Blue bubble icon to add mouse event, my pop-up menu options gets disappear from the screen and then I cannot perform any action through Elements menu for the expected checkbox UI control.

Could you please let me know how to handle such controls?

Hi Dipali,

To record the Mouse Click step you need to use our Freeze Mode feature. This feature freezes the page's DOM and allows you to record actions and verifications on a drop down by freezing the DOM at the moment it's expanded. 

Please give it a try and let me know if it works.

Hi Plamen,

Thanks for quick response.

I tried using ‘Freeze Mode’ feature and I could successfully add one of the option from the pop-up menu. But, it took me a hell lot of time to  do so. The second cursor which appears is very troublesome to move it to the designated place.

For the pop-up menu I am using, the menu items depends on the user inputs. In the application under test, user creates some settings and these settings are my menu items. So I was trying to add the pop-up menu as an object to the elements library. But I could not do so as the second cursor is not moving swiftly. Also how can I go about selecting the items from this pop-up menu as the menu items are dynamically generated?

Hi Dipali,

Would it be possible for us to get direct access to your application? This would be the fastest and easiest way for us to help you with the problem you are experiencing. If it is not possible, we suggest you take a Fiddler trace and attach it to the ticket. If you are unfamiliar with how to do that please refer to this short video. You can download the Fiddler application here. If you deem that information too sensitive for this forum, you can create a support ticket and attach it there.

Also, I'm not completely sure but there might be a jQuery event attached to the CheckBox. Test Studio is checking the box through the UI during execution, but it won't automatically process the jQuery event. If that's the case, here is an article explaining how to overcome the problem with a coded step.

All the best,

Hello Plamen

I have a serious problem

Win7, 64bits, Telerik Test Studio 2012.2.920.0

The Freeze mode is not recording any action.
Example:
I Start recording, get into my website, go to a menu and mouseover it, activate the Freeze mode ( Scroll lock key ) and got the new mouse pointer with the lock so then move over an option from the displayed submenu and got the blue nub, then click on the blue nub and nothing happens

This is getting me crazy since i read that other people is working fine with this

The website use aspx and ajax to handle the controls of those mouseover actions

Hope you can guide me on this
Thanks
