Importing files to silverlight webapp

[Adam]

I have been trying to automate a full regression test of our silverlight based website, however there are some areas that I can't seem to automate.

One of the main areas has been when I need to import a file to the site (xml, csv) and need to select from a MS 'Open' window.  WebUI doesn't seem to like recording actions when I use this area.

Can anyone help...point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Adam

Hello Adam,

I need some clarification. This post was filed in the Testing Framework forum. The Framework is a .NET library you can use for programming your own coded tests. It has no recording capabilities as you make mention of in your post.

So are you actually referring to our QA or Developer edition of WebUI Test Studio and it's recorder? If you are, are you asking about recording of a Windows popup dialog? Can you get a screenshot of this dialog? We do support recording of a small set of Windows dialogs, but not just any dialog. It has to be one that we recognize (File download, File upload, Javascript alert, Logon).

All the best,
Cody

Hi Cody,

While looking for a similar issue I came across this thread. I am using the telerik webUI studio (Dev)and its recorder. In my case, Its a popup windows dialog for file upload. However I am not able to see recording capabilities on the popup window. Could you let me know if its possible to record on the pop up window and if yes, how do I go about achieving it.

Thanks,
Adi

Hello Adi,

During recording of a WebAii test we try to automatically handle recording a "Handle FileUpload Dialog" test step. We don't record the individual actions you perform in the dialog, but rather add this one step automatically when you click the Open/Save/Cancel button. This means when you click one of the buttons we'll automatically read the file & path entered and which button you clicked. We'll populate the properties of the test step with these values.

If the recording doesn't work this way, you can always manually add a "Handle FileUpload Dialog". See the attached screenshot for how to do this. Once you add this test step you can adjust the properties as you need.

Best wishes,

Sorry my bad its not a pop-up but it is a windows dialog box and there is no way to connect to dialog box. So in this case, how would I need to go about doing it?

Hello Adi,

Does your windows dialog resemble the attached screenshot? This is the standard File Upload dialog that IE uses and we automatically handle and extract information out of it when we see you click the Open button.

If your dialog looks different than this, please attach a screenshot of it. Then I'll be able to better help how to handle it.
