Good Morning,

I am evaluating several versions of the Test Studio automation tool, QA Edition, TS Express and also using the testing framework directly from Visual Studio.

Currently I am receiving an exception error when calling the Manager.LaunchNewBrowser() command from my sample program.

This only occurs when I launch IE9 as Firefox works fine.

Here is the log from Visual Studio:

Uncategorized: DialogMonitor.Start() : Using: ArtOfTest.WebAii, Version=2011.1.712.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4fd5f65be123776c

Error: RegistryConstants.GetRegistryRoot() : Unable to open key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Telerik
A first chance exception of type 'System.ApplicationException' occurred in ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll
I've tried many variations of this setup including various options in settings and changing how the browser is called.

Please help!!

Thank you
Craig

I have a test which clicks a RadRibbonButton on a RadRibbonView:


It only works if I uncomment the Thread.Sleep and that only works if its more than 2000.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I have a console app that uses the latest WebAii (2011_1_609) to start IE9 and navigate to a URL. At the same time, I'm using FiddlerCore (Fiddler's class library) to act as a HTTP proxy so I can monitor the traffic. This works quite well.

However, for some URLs (not all), I’m seeing a delay after the entire page has loaded, i.e. it takes the .NavigateTo method about 5-10 extra seconds after the last HTTP request in the page to observe that the browser has finished loading. During this delay, nothing is happening on the network, and the browser is not loading any other requests. ProcMon shows no activity during this time either (either in IE or my app). On my test server (Win Server 2008 R2) I can reproduce this behavior 100% for certain URLs, when the browser's cache is empty.

When I disable my FiddlerCore functionality, these delays are not observed. In order to figure out what is actually causing the delay, I'd like to understand more about what WebAii is using in the .NavigateTo method to determine that the browser is "finished". I appreciate any insight in this matter. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,
JP

Hello,

I'm using vs2010 
Webaii 2011.1.502.0
Windows 7

situation:
In my testscenario I launch an WPF app and then Login
after the login the app is minimized to the system tray as an Icon.

Question:

How can I get access to the menu of our app in the system tray? 
And how can I activate a menu item?

Thanks,

Werner

I'm using the latest Telerik WebAii Testing Framework (2011_2_712). Our automation code uses ActiveBrowser.Capture to capture an
image of the browser if the test fails. Our automation uses multiple windowless clients VMs (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard).
If I remote desktop into these VMs to view the browser window while tests are running, ActiveBrowser.Capture works fine and produces the correct image. However, if I do not remote desktop into the machine and ensure that the browser running the tests is visible, or minimize the remote desktop window, then a black image is always produced.  I even tried doing multiple calls to ActiveBrowser.Capture  with a 1 sec delay between them as recommended by some posts and saving the image into different formats (jpeg, gif, bmp, png) but they all produced black image.

I saw many posts regarding this problem and it is due to older versions of WebAii framework using the Windows screenshot to capture an image and that requires the browser to be visible. I thought that the latest release fixed that, but apparently not.

Here is the code I'm using:

                ActiveBrowser.Window.SetActive();
                ActiveBrowser.Window.SetFocus();
                System.Drawing.Bitmap browserImage = ActiveBrowser.Capture();
                if (browserImage != null)
                {
                    var fileName = TestCaseName + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("MM_dd_yyyy_HH_mm_ss_ffff");
                    fileName = Path.ChangeExtension(Path.Combine(directory.FullName, fileName), ".png");
                    browserImage.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png);
                }

Is there any other suggestions I can do to make this work? Keeping active Remote Desktop Connections to each client VM is not an option. I've attached a sample image of the black capture of browser.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello,

I am getting stuck while trying to get handle a Download Dialog in IE 8.

My scenario is:
. Lauching a web app1.
. From that, clicking on an Anchor, it will launch another browser with a Download Dialog displayed there.

I found out that most the examples and cases around this forum just mentions the Anchor to fire the Download Dialog inside the web app1 only, but my case is pretty difficult since it was automatically launched from another browser (I had 2 browsers after clicking on the Anchor on the web app1)

Does anyone have any idea to help me out?

Regards,
San

What I've tried:

Hi,

I've installed the Telerik testing framework and opened one of the test projects "XamlSampleTests" in VS2010. It compiles successfully. When i run it all the tests fail. The first one it runs is the WindowStateTest it fails on this line.

It throws an exception that the assert failed. I can't figure out how it failed. I'm able to see the IE open and access the test website. I've also tried to run VS2010 under administrator account. That doesn't work either. Are there any prerequisites for running the test program?

Also i had to remove the ArtOfTest.Common dll from the references in order to compile the program successfully. I was not able to find the dll in the framework installer package.

Thanks. Regards,
Arooj

I'm trying to use WebAii to automate tests with Silverlight. I've installed the framework, but can't find this dll. Where is it?

Also, is there any documentation on how to use the wrappers?

Thanks

to reproduce use this code:

In IE and FF3: object[3] { 1, 2, 3}
In FF4: empty array object[0]
