Simulated Manual Typing throws exception when converted to code

[dan]

Hi ,

I have an input that require simulated manual entry in order to trigger the validation. I selected ;'simulate manual typing' for my recorded step and everything worked fine.

Now, when I convert the recorded step to a coded step, the step fails.

Here's the coded step..

[CodedStep(@"Enter Comment Text 'Automation Test'")]
        public void enter_Address_data_CodedStep3()
        {
            // Enter text 'Automation Test' in 'NewAddressdescriptionTextArea'
            Actions.SetText(Pages.MicrosoftDynamicsCRM.FrameContentIFrame.NewAddressdescriptionTextArea, "");
            Pages.MicrosoftDynamicsCRM.FrameContentIFrame.NewAddressdescriptionTextArea.ScrollToVisible(ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.ScrollToVisibleType.ElementTopAtWindowTop);
            ActiveBrowser.Window.SetFocus();
            Pages.MicrosoftDynamicsCRM.FrameContentIFrame.NewAddressdescriptionTextArea.Focus();
            Pages.MicrosoftDynamicsCRM.FrameContentIFrame.NewAddressdescriptionTextArea.MouseClick();
            Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("Automation Test",50,100,true);
            
        }

 

and the exception...

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

Could you please refresh the frame's DOM tree before typing in the input control. Please put this into the coded step as the very first row.

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames.RefreshAllDomTrees();

Let me know if that helps.
