Hi,

What are the changes in the WebAii Testing Framework 2010.1 412 compared to the last ArtOfTest version? The What's New in this version page is empty.

Thanks,

We had a Silverlight 3/VS 2008 application that we were testing with WebAii that is being upgraded to Silverlight 4 and VS 2010. I upgraded the WebAii to 2010.1 412 as well.
After all the upgrades I cannot run the tests anymore. The test throws a timeout exception when calling the manager.LaunchNewBrowser method. Were there any changes in the behavior of the method that might be causing the exception? The browser does get launched to the default page and it just stands there. I'm using the AspDevelopmentServer local web server type on fixed port.

Since the first post, I tried without the WebAii upgrade as well and got the following error when running the test;
 

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi again Claudio,

There should not have been any breaking changes for the Manager.LaunchBrowser() method for SL 4. I just tested this out on the Telerik SL demos that are SL4 also and it seemed to work for me.

Did you uninstall the previous WebAii version before installing the latest version? And did your SL app load time increase with the upgrade? If so, please try increasing the Settings.SilverlightConnectTimeout to a larger interval.

Also, please see the attached SL connect document to see if anything mentioned in it applies to your app after the SL 4 upgrade.

All the best,
Nelson

Thanks Nelson.

My problem seems to be related to the version of Cassini (Visual Studio Development Server) that webAii is using to run my Silverlight app.
I have VS 2008 and VS 2010 installed on my machine.
WebAii uses the DevServer 9.0 that came with VS 2008. It should use the ASP.Net 4.0 server that cames with VS 2010 instead in order to run the SL4 app. Is there any way to setup the DevServer version that I want WebAii to use?

I uninstalled VS 2008 to see if that would fix the problem. I get the following error now when I try to run a test:
Failed SearchPerformance UIAcceptanceTests Initialization method AutomatedUITests.WebAiiTests.MyTestInitialize threw exception. System.ApplicationException: System.ApplicationException: Unable to launch the ASP.NET Dev Server. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided.. 
This used to work before.

Thanks for your help,
Claudio

I think I found the problem. I looked again at the SL connect document and saw the cache cleanup instruction. I tried it again and that seemed to clear the problem. I was using a specified port and there was something in the cache for that port that was pointing to the old Development Server from VS 2008.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Claudio Mesyngier,

We are glad to hear you found a solution to the problem on you own. Thanks also for letting us know how you solved it.

We're going to go back and recheck that the Casinni server works properly in both VS2008 and VS2010 in a mixed environment such as you have.

I took a second look at the problem and the fix only worked because I replaced the Cassini executables from VS 2008 with the ones on VS 2010. So still is a problem (with a workaround now).

Hello Claudio Mesyngier,

Yes, we discovered the same thing in our testing yesterday. Sorry about that! Apparently we failed to test this when we released VS2010 support. We filed a bug report on this and will get it fixed as soon as possible.

I am very glad to hear you do have a temporary workaround.

All the best,

Hi Claudio Mesyngier,

Yes it has. The fix for this bug (63991) was first included in our public 2010.1.5.18 release.
