Hi guys,

I’m getting “Wait for condition has timed out” exceptions when calling LaunchNewBrowser. The strange thing is that this problem doesn't happen all the time (except in one case, see below).

Stacktrace:
   at ArtOfTest.Common.WaitSync.CheckResult(WaitSync wait, String extraExceptionInfo)
   at ArtOfTest.Common.WaitSync.For[T](Predicate`1 predicate, T target, Boolean invertCondition, Int32 timeout)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.WaitForBrowserToConnect(Int32 browserIndexToWaitFor)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect, ProcessWindowStyle windowStyle, String arguments)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect)

Things to note about our setup:

1.    We are using Telerik Testing Framework 2011.1 (2011.1.609). However, this problem also happened when we were running version 2010.1.

2.    On most of our servers (a mix of Server 2003, 2008, 32 bit, 64 bit, IE8, IE9) we’re getting this message regularly, but not all the time. Roughly, 80% of the time there is no problem, 20% is showing this exception (or similar problems). Usually, it helps to just retry calling .LaunchNewBrowser, but not always.

3.    When this happens, a new browser is started and visible without any delays, but Telerik Testing Framework is not able to connect to it (see below).

4.    As of today, we have one new Server 2003 which always displays this behavior. This server has never had an earlier version of Telerik Testing Framework, but when I install the version we used previously (2010.1), we’re seeing normal behavior (80% OK, 20% error).

5.    I’m including a snippet of our application’s trace log.

Uncategorized: Connector.InjectCode() : ------- Function End 'Connector.InjectCode' -------
<The exception occurs after this point>

6.    If I compare this with the log of regular (correct) cases, I'm missing this part:

Framework: BrowserProvisioner.ServiceThread() : A new client has connected to the provisioning pipe.
Framework: BrowserRemoted.AsyncListenerThreadEntry() : Not connected; this will now wait indefinitely for a pipe client connection...
Framework: BrowserRemoted.AsyncListenerThreadEntry() : A new client has connected to the pipe.

Framework: Manager.AddNewBrowser() : Added client ID "Client_81b0ef79-6ece-4f38-97e1-1332561eab77" (now there is/are 1 total).
Framework: Connector.InjectCode() : Returned from sending WM_COPYDATA (LRESULT=0, GetLastError()=DS_S_SUCCESS).
Uncategorized: Connector.InjectCode() : ------- Function End 'Connector.InjectCode' -------

7. Therefore, either the client is not connecting through the pipe, or BrowserProvisioner.ServiceThread() isn't running. I looked at the internal ArtOfTest.WebAii code using JustDecompile, in order to try and understand what is happening, but I haven't been able to figure out which code is calling BrowserProvisioner.ServiceThread.

8. I have tried disabling the Named Pipes restriction in Local Security Policies, but this doesn't seem to make any difference, and it wouldn't explain why the problem occurs *some* of the time.

9. Obviously, our servers and browsers are configured as per Telerik's documentation.


Apologies for this long message. We would really like to get some more control over this problem, as it would greatly improve the stability of our software. Please let us know if you need more information. Thanks very much in advance.

I need to iterate over the rows of a Silverlight RadGridView checking for duplicates and the total count.  I adapted the sample from http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/write-tests-in-code/code-samples/silverlight/radgridview/scrolling.aspx.  I test against the telerik sample page here: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/PagingLargeData.

I expect to get a row count on the first page of 100 and examine each row once.  Instead, I get a row count of ~120 (it changes between runs) and several rows seem to appear twice and/or out of order.  For example, the last row I print out is "83, Maxilaku, $45.60, 5/12/2008, ". How can I accomplish my goal of examining each and every row of the current RadGridView page in the order they appear in the grid and once and only once?

I am using Test Framework 2011.2.928.0 and Silverlight 4.0.60831.0.

My code follows.
Thanks,
Ken

I hope that this is possibly a simple question.  I am using 2011_2_9_28 and just trying to execute some tests that validate the selected text in the browser.  I was unable to get it working.

Here is a basic console app that does not display text in any of the browsers that I tried.  I would just launch it and then select various things on the page including text in the search box and GetSelectedText() is always empty.  Am I using it wrong?

Manager testManager = new Manager(false);
testManager.Start();
testManager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, true);
testManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://google.com");

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
	Console.WriteLine("Current: " + testManager.ActiveBrowser.GetSelectedText());
	Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Console.ReadLine();
testManager.Dispose();


 

Hi,

When I run performance testing of the our web application I get results which you can see at the attachment.
At functional testing I put 500 ms execution delay twice. But performance testing says first one's total time 1250ms and second one's 1796ms. 
How can we read performance testing result? 

Hi Telerik,

If I am recording a new test then everything including typing to text boxes is captured by recorder. I am recording Silverlight application.

However if I replay already recorder steps by Run->To Here by mouse right click within the test then:
- steps are repeated well based on recording
- then Test Studio with small bar is attached and I am ready to record next steps
- steps are recorder OK like mouse click etc.
- no typing inside text boxes or other controls is recorded.

Nothing helps what I tried. One and only workaround is to start with empty test and then copy and paste recorded steps to old test. It is quite tricky to do it especially within big test.

Any idea? I am using 2011.2.928.0.

Best regards,

Hi Telerik,

1. I have test 1 which opens a web page and types login name and password into my Silverlight application.
2. I have test2 which calls test 1 as a first step.
3. I have test3 which calls test 2 as a firts step.
4. I have a test4 which makes 5 times loop over test 3.

When I run test1 then it works.
When I run test2 (which calls test 1) then it works.
When I run test3 (which calls test 2 which calls test 1) then it works.
But when I run test4 which calls test 3 in loop then it fails.
Test 4 does
- loop
- calls of test3
- test 3 calls test2
- test2 calls test1. This opens a browser with my Silverlight application. Then second step (typing to login text box) fails with message Timeout trying to connect Silverlight application.

Any idea? I am using 2011.2.928.0.

Best regards,

Hello, 

I'm developing a WPF desktop application
How could I create an AlertDialog and add a special handling to it.
the problem is the AlertDialog needs a Browser , but I'm working on WPF desktop app!!
any help !!

Hello,

Do you plan to have this documentation back, Online or Offline?
For my part, I often refer to it to learn correctly the framework.

Thanks.

In the web app I am testing against I've got the element:

<form name="aspnetForm" id="aspnetForm" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" action="default.aspx" method="post" sizcache="10" sizset="0">

The following code:

Element element1 = Find.ById("aspnetForm");
Element element2 = Find.ByXPath("//form[@id='aspnetForm']");
Element element3 = Find.ByXPath("//form[@name='aspnetForm']");

returns element1 as correct found element, wheras element2 and element3 are nulls. What is the reason for that?

IE8, WinXP.

HI,

I have a WPF application I want to test with Test Studio, but I'm havieng some problems to handle an Alert Dialog. In the application, i click a button to save my changes and a popup window appears to inform that changes had been saved. It contains nothing but a label and an OK button. If I execute the test from the VS plugin, it works, but when i generate code form that test these lines are created to handle the alertdialog:
The problem is that I don't have any ActiveBrowser, Instead I do have an ActiveApplication, but GenericDialgon needs an 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Browser' variable while ActiveApplication is an 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Wpf.WpfApplication'.
I alos tried other posibilities like AlertDialog or ConfirmDialog, but I ended with the same problem. Can you help me please? Which is the correct class i should use for a WPF message box?
