I prefer to study WebAii with snippets and examples ( documentation is really far from comprehensive, but framework is great btw)
Today I found some strange behaviour - I serialized FindParam to file, cause i cant figure what exactly i should write in my Find filters in one special case. I used this code to do serialization

And this code created following text

But this isnt exactly correct 
onclick should be with screened \'

<iAttribute Name="onclick" Value="document.getElementById(\'cancel_return\').value = \'1\';" />

Otherwise Find.ByParam wont find any element with this filter loaded from file.

I dont sure where exactly this bug belongs to - serialization or regex attribute matching, but this is a wrong behaviour. Save and Load should behave consistently.

UPDATE:
I found exact difference between in-memory creation of FindParam and deserialized from file:

In-memory FindParam have type of partial iAttribute.AttributeType = Event,
and deserialized one have iAttribute.AttributeType = Other.

And BeginQuote\EndQuote different either (None and DoubleQuote).


Any tips how to deserialize param with AttributeType = Event, and quotes set to None?
Direct xml didn't work =(

Hey all,

After much wrestling, we're making good headway in making WebAii work for us, and not the other way 'round.  :-)  (We're trying to abstract away WebAii for various long term maintainability reasons, so this obviously presents itself as fighting the original design and intent of WebAii, causing a lot of initial frustration, and rightly so).

We're noticing that when the framework is installed in the typical fashion, when adding a reference to the assembly from a different folder to the solution, the reference is redirected to the install base.

Is there a way to circumvent this besides uninstalling the framework after grabbing the necessary binaries?  What controls this behavior?  Since we're basing our solution on a very specific version for consistency reasons, we really only want to reference the tools from our source controlled location.  However, referencing the copied assemblies from any other folder still causes it to point to the /Program Files/ location.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the help and patience provided so far.

Hi,

I am using WebAii. 2010.1 version for silverlight 3 automation.

I have to get all the ComboBoxItmes from a combobox. But i am getting empty list.

 

 

 

ComboBox cmbBox = app.Find.ByType<ComboBox>();

 

 

IList<TextBlock> blocks = cmbBox.Find.AllByType<TextBlock>();

 

 

IList<ComboBoxItem> items= cmbBox.Items;

 

 

IList<ComboBoxItem> cmbItems = cmbBox.Find.AllByType<ComboBoxItem>();

 

 

IList<FrameworkElement> cmbFrameworkItems = cmbBox.Find.AllByType("ComboBoxItem");

Hi,

I am using WebAii 2.0 for silverlight 3 automation.

I need to click the Plus(+) sign in the RadGridView. Please see the attached image for reference.
Actually what is that Plus(+) sign control. Is it an image or anything else?

Is it possible through Translator? Any way i want the other way.

Thanks

Hey all,

I'm currently experiencing an issue where when attempting to get the SilverlightApp, the automation experiences a Timeout.  I've tried changing security settings as per instructions for setting up for WebAii, I've tried running as admin, impersonation, the works.

I can access HTML elements without issue, however, when attempting to get the app, it finds the element (as reflected by debugging) for the Silverlight object, but the app reference fails return.  Increasing the timeout only results in the exception coming later and does not improve the situation.

The code here:

            this.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, true, System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized);
            this.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("https://ourwebsite/OurAppLocation/");

            SilverlightAppsList appsList = this.ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps();
            SilverlightApp app = appsList[0];

results in the exception on the last line.

I've tried other .NavigateTo()+ overloads as well, without success.  Interestingly, this happens on my machine, by not my coworkers'.  Another coworker is continually having issues getting an initial action from the navigation process to work, even after modifying the security settings for IE.  We have yet to find a common problem here, other than WebAii is having a very difficult time getting the application handles, be it browser, or the SilverlightApp.

Perhaps we're missing something vital?

My machine configuration:

- Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
- Server 2003
- IE 7
- Default Template (VSUnit)

At this rate, we've invested so much time, with little yield, we're becoming somewhat disenchanted.  Any help to get us on track ASAP would be most beneficial.  I'm trying this on another machine and will report back if the same results are observed there.

I have a test that worked with an older version of WebAii (Beta). I just downloaded the latest version and the tests that run with IE all fail but work with Firefox.

The test fails when I call LaunchNewBrowser(). IE starts up and goes to "about:blank" and is functional (I can use it directly) but the method fails with exception

 John.

Another issue appeared: FileUploadDialog  cannot be handled if test executed in non-interactive environment.
We have console app test scenario, which pop-up FileUpload dialog. During debug and interactive checks this dialog was handled successfully by this code:

But when we deployed it on our monitoring server (win2003EE SP2 \ IE8) - this code no longer works. Console app periodicaly started by special monitoring software - its run in interactive but always LOCKED session (Its like you scheduled program to run with custom app and locked your PC). After few runs I logged in and saw all instances of IE, not closed and with FileUploadDialog popped (and not handled properly).
I tried to figure this bug origin with Sysinternals procmon but was unable to deal with all that calls ( saved dump btw).
Any ideas or help how to track and fix that misbehaviour.

UPDATE: I read anwer on this topic
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/community/forums/webui-test-studio-developer-edition/webaii-automation-framework/simulated-clicks-not-running-if-machine-is-in-locked-state.aspx
but i still wonder why then all other my tests run fine, except with FileUploadDialog.
I suspect this is because FileUploadDialog is win32 window, not browser one, but then can you point me to working example of FileUpload scenario without this dialog monitoring ( one in docs doesn't work, afaik).
