Hi,

I'm having an issue running automated tests driving a silverlight app. I've gone through all the browser configuration and checked I can run sample tests without an issue, so it's likely to be something wrong in my code.

The Manager settings are initialised as:

 var settings = new Settings
                               {
                                   EnableSilverlight = true,
                                   ExecutionDelay = 50,
                                   EnableUILessRequestViewing = false,
                                   QueryEventLogErrorsOnExit = false,
                                   EnableScriptLogging = false,
                                   AnnotateExecution = true,
                                   AnnotationMode = AnnotationMode.All,
                                   RecycleBrowser = true,
                                   DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.InternetExplorer,
                               };

The browser is connecting via https with navigation and automation on htmlinput elements working OK, but whenever it tries to connect to the silverlight app I get the stack trace below - tested on two seperate machines (one server 2003 x86, one windows 7 x64):

ArtOfTest.WebAii.Exceptions.ExecuteCommandException : ExecuteCommand failed!

Can't Combine shift key down with other keys

I'm trying to press Shift+Home on my control, I've tried a few things, but the control always interprets the key presses as if the shift key wasn't pushed (i.e. it still acts on the Home key, but not as if shift was pushed). The control works fine in manual testing.

The weird thing is, if at any point I stop the code between the shift key down and the shift key up, then the shift key is definitely pushed as every program in Windows acts like it is, even the program I'm trying to test.
Here's what I've tried:
1)*
myFrameworkElement.User.KeyDown(Keys.ShiftKey);
myFrameworkElement.User.KeyPress(Keys.Home);
myFrameworkElement.User.KeyUp(Keys.ShiftKey);
2)
myFrameworkElement.User.KeyPress(Keys.ShiftKey | Keys.Home);
3)**
silverlightApp.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyDown(Keys.ShiftKey);
silverlightApp.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Home);
silverlightApp.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyUp(Keys.ShiftKey);
4)
silverlightApp.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.ShiftKey | Keys.Home);
5)
var keys = Keyboard.KeysFromString("Shift+Home");
silverlightApp.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(keys);

Any help on how to accomplish this would be great.

* myFrameworkElement is ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silervlight.FrameworkElement
**silverlightApp is ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silervlight.SilverlightApp

How to retrieve RadComboBoxItems when using VirutalizingStackPanel?

Hi,

I'm using WebAii to write automated tests for a Silverlight application. Recently, some the RadComboBoxes in the app have been changed to use the VirtualizingStackPanel. The following test code now fails with the following error:

Code Sample - int saveCount = radComboBox.Items.Count;
Error Generated - System.TimeoutException: Wait for condition has timed out.

This will happen on any statement that attempts to reference the Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.RadComboBox Items property,

How do I get this to work (or what's the work around) when the VirtualizingStackPanel is used with the RadComboBox control?

Thanks.

Joel

IE 6 WebAii Problems.

Hi Guys,

I am currently running IE6, with the latest WebAii, and when I set the browser to InternetExplorer I get the following:

SetUp : System.ApplicationException : Exception thrown attempting to launch Internet Explorer. Please make sure Internet Explorer is properly installed and you are able to launch it.

----> System.TimeoutException : Wait for condition has timed out

at ArtOfTest.WebAii.BrowserSpecialized.InternetExplorer.InternetExplorerActions.LaunchNewBrowserInstance(Int32 timeout, ProcessWindowStyle windowStyle, String pipename)

The browswer opens but sits on about:blank.

Note that I am only using the WebAii, and not the testing suite.

The same test works fine in Firefox, and I do not have access to chrome to test it.

I have all the settings set according to:

http://www.artoftest.com/support/webaii/topicsindex.aspx?topic=configureie6

But still no help.

Unfortunately upgrading to IE7+ is not an option. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also just incase it helps:

namespace WebAiiTestClass

{

[TestFixture]

public abstract class TestBase : BaseTest

{

protected internal SilverlightApp App { get; private set; }

[SetUp]

public void TestBaseSetUp()

{

var settings = GetSettings();

settings.EnableSilverlight = true;

settings.LogLocation = @"C:\Documents and Settings\alicross\My Documents\Dev\UI\Testing\WebAiiTestClass";

Initialize(settings, NUnit.Core.TestContext.Out.WriteLine);

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://localhost:4882/TestPage.aspx");

App = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

}

[TearDown]

public void TestBaseTearDown()

{

CleanUp();

}

[TestFixtureTearDown]

public void TestBaseFixtureTearDown()

{

ShutDown();

}

Thanks for your help guys

findbycontent how to use variable

How can I use a variable in the code "searchLnk = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent(contentvalue);"

Where conentvalue was previously defined by contentvalue = “btnG”;

Rather than searchLnk = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent(”btnG”);

is there a way NOT to have to use a LITERAL value?

thanks joe

[Solved] Finding elements by content containing  

Hi all.

As we have to support multi-browser automated tests, the tests must run in both IE and Firefox.
After installing the latest build of WebAii we finally can work fine with both of them.
Still I suspect a funny problem with these browsers because they render non-breakable space ( ) in different manner.
Just have a look at this piece of HTML code:

<a href="http://google.com">mega link</a>

Looks usual.

But now, if I want to find this link by the text it contains, troubles appear.

Settings settings = new Settings(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, "d:\\log\\");

Manager manager = new Manager(settings);

manager.Start();

manager.LaunchNewBrowser();

manager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://aspspider.ws/kovyar/find_bycontent_test.htm");

manager.ActiveBrowser.WaitUntilReady();

Element element = manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent("mega link"); //null in both browsers, the desired way to find the element

Element element1 = manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent("mega link".Replace(' ', (char)160)); //null in IE

Element element2 = manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent("mega link".Replace(" ", " ")); //null in FF

Assert.IsNotNull(element1); //here fails IE

Assert.IsNotNull(element2); //here fails FF

manager.Dispose();

You can switch the browser type right in the first line of the code.
The general trouble is that I cannot process this link in the same way in FF and IE.
The second problem is that the types of spaces in the text can change (so the appearance of the text would be the same, but spaces would be different).

So we need a way of finding elements on the page which will not depend on:
1) browser type
2) type of spaces used by developers.

It would be really good if there is such a way, because our tests use Find.ByContent very often.

Thanks,
Yaroslav

Silverlight with Frameset is not working for Web UI Test Studio Developer version??

Hi, I downloaded Web UI Test Studio Developer version to automate Silverlight Application. I can't automate it because Web UI test Studio doesn't record anything. Finally I find our developer uses frameset .

When I automate the same Silverlight Application without frameset , I can automate it.

Does it support frameset ? Do you have any way to automate the Silverlight application with Frameset?

Thanks,

Amy

DOM root element in iframe is null

I have a website with several frame in an frameset:

...

<frameset rows="100%,0,0,0" onload="gotoUrl('/here_is_the_url',null)">

<frame frameborder="0" name="frame1" src="about:blank">

<html>

<head>...</head>

<body>

<div id="divID">...</div>

</body>

</html>

</frame>

<frame scrolling="no" noresize="" frameborder="0" name="frame2" src="about:blank">...</frame>

<frame scrolling="no" noresize="" frameborder="0" name="frame3" src="about:blank">...</frame>

<frame scrolling="no" noresize="" frameborder="0" name="frame4" src="about:blank">...</frame>

<noframes>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<p>your browser does not handle frames</p>

</body>

</noframes>

</frameset>

...

In my case, I want to find the div element byID. I tried:

Browser frame = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames["frame1"];

Element divEle = frame.Find.byId("divID");

but I get a FindException. I debugged and I noticed that the DOM root element of the frame1 is null. Any DOM refresh had no effect. I tried to refresh root browser an all frames containing.

I used Firefox 3.5.16 and WebAii 2010.3.1213.0

How can I get the div element?

[Solved] IsActiveElement not working properly

I tried using HTMLInputText.IsActiveElement but it doesn't seem to work properly.
When running my test:

[Test]

public void GoogleTest()

{

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser();

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com");

HtmlInputText queryBox = Find.ByName<HtmlInputText>("q");

Log.WriteLine(queryBox.IsActiveElement.ToString());

Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, queryBox.GetRectangle());

Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("sample", 1000);

Actions.Click(Find.ById("btnG"));

}

I can see that focus is in the url address box and not the search input box. queryBox.IsActiveElement is true so it's incorrect.
I also noticed that ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo works differently than launching the page manually.
In the first case focus is in the url address box in the latter its in search box.

1. Why IsActiveElement wrong?
2. Why NavigatTo works differently than manually?
