Hello experts,
I'm trying my first sample test for google.com. I was able to record and playback tests from Test Sturio. However, we wanted to build our own framework. So started looking at the telrik API. I was completely struck with the below issue and was not able to proceed further
{
Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);
ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com"); //Was able to open the browser
Console.WriteLine("Title of the page :" + ActiveBrowser.PageTitle); // Able to get the title of the browser
// HtmlInputText textBox = ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<HtmlInputText>("gbqfq");
Find.ByExpression<HtmlInputText>("id=?_gbqfq"); //This is where I'm getting the System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of object
}
I'm struck at this point. Need your urgent help as I need to give a POC demo.
Regards,
Kiran

Hey Kiran,
Are you trying to grab the input control of google search and type? After taking a quick look it seems the @id you are using is incorrect. I haven't run the code myself though.
Hope this helps!

Hi ,
I had created the test by Creating a separte class for TextBox so that I can use the textbox object across the run. The problem here is it throws the null reference exception when i make a reference to Textbox class which is outside the actual Test Class. Seems the Reference for Find is getting null if called out site the BaseTestclass. However if I user the Find.ByName in BaseTestClass, it works fine
Can you please help me with this issue. I'm attaching the source code.
BaseTestClass
[Test]
public void testGoogleSearch()
{
Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);
ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com");
//System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
Console.WriteLine(ActiveBrowser.ViewSourceString);
TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
textBox.type("name=q", "Hello World");
}
TexBox Class
class TextBox : BaseTest
{
HtmlInputText searchTextBox = null;
private HtmlInputText GetTextBox(String objectLocator) {
//objectlator shall be like id=login will be passed from external resouce like xml
String[] values = objectLocator.Split('=');
Console.WriteLine(values[0]);
//Initialize(false, new TestContextWriteLine(Console.Out.WriteLine));
// Find.ByName<HtmlInputText>("q").Text = "Hello World";
switch (values[0])
{
case "id":
searchTextBox = Find.ById<HtmlInputText>(objectLocator);
break;
case "name":
searchTextBox = Find.ByName<HtmlInputText>("q");
break;
case "tagindex":
searchTextBox = Find.ByXPath<HtmlInputText>(values[0]);
break;
case "xpath":
break;
default:
searchTextBox = Find.ByName<HtmlInputText>(values[0]);
break;
}
return searchTextBox;
}
public void type(String ObjectLocator,String input)
{
GetTextBox(ObjectLocator).Text = input;
}

Hello Kiran,
The project you included won't compile. It relies on "BaseTest" which was not included. I need to know what this is/does.

Hello Cody,
In the project I wanted to open a google.com and simply type some text in seacrch box.
In the code I have created 2 classes . one is SampleGoogleTest.cs which extends BaseTest Class. From this class , I was trying to launch browser, and was making a call to another Class TextBox.cs which would return me an instance of TextBox. I had created this TextBox class to make it reusable in many other TestClasses. I'm able to launch the google.com, fetch the page source and I'm getting the Null reference exception when I make a call to the TextBox class. I rechecked the project that I had attached previously, It got compiled and the Null reference exception is thrown at run time
Please let me know if you need more information.

Kiran

Hello Kiran,
As you can see in this short video there is no BaseTest class in the project I received. I cannot continue until I receive a copy of it.

Hi ,
'm trying my first sample test for google.com. I was able to record and playback tests from Test Studio. However, we wanted to build our own framework. So started looking at the telrik API. I've installed Telerik testing framework software and creted the new project and new Nunit webtest (.cs) I was completely struck with the below issue and was not able to proceed further
{
Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.Chrome);
ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com"); //Was able to open the browser and navigated to google page
Find.ById<HtmlInputText>("s").Text = "telerik"; //This is where I'm getting the System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of object
}
I'm struck at this point. but I found that to initialise the test case object is missing but I did'nt understand where to initialise the object and how. Can you please be specific in solving my problem. Thanks alot in advance

I would try this :
var mybtn = Manager.Current.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("Sign in");
// Or : var btn2 = Manager.Current.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<HtmlAnchor>("gb_70");
mybtn.Click();

Hi,
BadLuck the issue still persists , actually I'm trying to implement the tests with Telerik testing framework in Visual studio community 2013 but when ever Im trying to locate the element it returns null value
but I'm successfully executing the above mentioned sample tests when I'm working on trial version of VS2012 with telerik testing framework on Virtual machine
Is Telerik testing framework completely supports Visual studios community 2013(FREE Edition) because the sample tests working fine on Trial version of vs12 (the same installation I followed for telerik testing framwork and jcode in both environments except the Visual studios)
Thanks in advance , eagerly waiting for reply

I've also observed this (Note: Test Studio supports Visual Studio 2013 starting with version 2014.1.410 )in Telerik documentation (http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/getting-started/installation/system-requirements) where I'm using community VS13 with version 12.0.31101 (Is this reason for why I'm not able to run the test successful in TTF) Please let me know.
