Silverlight Login Page issues

[Sue Loomis]

Hello,
  I am working on automating tests for a silverlight application, and am having issues with the login page.  While manually entering log-in information, before a password is entered the login button is not active/selectable, but as soon as the first character is typed in the apssword box, the "login" button becomes active/selectable.  During playback, the login button will not change to being selectable, like the silverlight app doesn't recognize that a password has been typed in the password textbox.  I have tried recording it a couple different ways, clicking between the text boxes, tabbing between the text boxes...  inserting waits... but no change.  I have attached a screenshot below.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank You.

Hello Sue Loomis,

This could be a couple things, so I will list the suggestions in ease of implementation order:

1. Is Simulate Real User turned on for both of the text input steps?

This setting should be on by default for the step, but if it is not enable it (Silverlight will need it on to have a chance of validating the input). This setting is listed in the properties for the step. Due to how Silverlight works, I would like you to test toggling this setting and re-running your test (if it was enabled, disable it for both steps and re-test and vice versa). Depending on what the login button is waiting for, toggling this setting may impact the results.

2. If the above does not help, we will need to review the project and the login page.

In this scenario, we would need to ask for the following:

• A "truncated" version of the silverlight app (with just the login page)

This is since you will most likely not be able to provide the whole project/access to it so that we can test the login issue locally to reproduce this issue

• A copy of the project itself so we can review the test steps as well

I'll standby for the results from the above.
