Browser recycling.

Hi Guys,

Lets say you have a bunch of tests in a test suite but you want

only 2 to run while the browser recycle is enabled.

How do you actually do it? I understand you need to override the recycleBrowser to be true but should

that declaration resides in both tests ? Only in the first one ?

Ta,

SD.

Clicking a link using Find methods.

Hi Guys,

Pls refer to the attached image.

Since the value of the txt is currently '7', the following will work with no issues:

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("7").Click();

The thing is, the value ("7") may change but I still want to click the same link.

As the id of an element may change from time to time, it's not a good practice to use Elements IDs...

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<HtmlAnchor>("dashboardForm:appAll").Click();

I've tried several other methods under Find and was not successful...

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByAttributes<HtmlAnchor>("value=all").Click();

Could you pls indicate what is is the preferred Find method to use if I wanted to find & click that link by it's Value (value= 'All') ?

Ta,

SD.

Clicking a hidden menu button.

Hi Guys,

I've got a menu button which will only 'revel' itself once you hover about the text ('Search').
Hovering above search will show 'General Search' that can be clicked to move to the relevant page.

I'm already using declarations like Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByName<HtmlInputSubmit>("submit").Click();
and was wondering what is the appropriate element to use in my case.

Ta,

SD.

                    <div id="menuForm:searchMenu"  class="dr-menu-label rich-ddmenu-label dr-menu-label-unselect rich-ddmenu-label-unselect" >

Force test to run in a specific browser

I am running my test suite against IE, but one test has a bug that surfaces in IE only. I don't expect it to be fixed soon, so I want to force that one test to run against Firefox. Is there a clean way to do that? I tried adding a coded step that does the following:

Manager.Settings.DefaultBrowser =

BrowserType.FireFox;

But the browser is launched before the first step is executed, so I need to intervene earlier. This is not a unit test, so I don't have a test setup method at my disposal. I see that BaseWebAiiTest has a CleanUp() virtual method, but there is no corresponding SetUp().

My other thought was using a separate test list for that one test, along with a special testrunconfig file that specifies Firefox as the default browser. But I'm uncertain how to easily make that work in a TFS build - because there can be only one testrunconfig in a build, I believe I'd have to create a separate build definition for each browser.

Anyone know an easier way?

Frame index error when HtmlControl.Click()

We're developing a test framework around WebAii and we're consistently getting the following error when doing HtmlControl.Click(false). I've seen a couple other posts related to this error but neither cure our problem. Unfortunately it's going to be a bit tricky to produce a concise repro as it's all embedded within a larger framework.

Anyone seen this before and have a solution?

Thanks,

Matt

Quick Execute button not launching browser

Hi,

With any test I create, whenever I try to run using the Quick Execute button I get the following error

--------------------------------------------------
'17/05/2010 16:26:18' - Error encountered during execution.
--------------------------------------------------
'17/05/2010 16:26:18' - Error attempting to ping runner. Error: System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a closed pipe.
   at System.IO.__Error.PipeNotOpen()

   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.RunnerController.Ping()

This happens when trying to launch using IE, Firefox or safari. I can run test fine using Test view -> run

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Matt

Silverlight - Scrolling

When WebAii decides it needs to scroll the window to interact with a silverlight element, it doesn't refresh the silverlight element locations. I've tried calling Refresh on the DOM VisualTree and the SilverlightApp VisualTree. The only thing that seems to work is calling SilverlightApps() again (after refreshing the DOM). Any other ways to solve this problem?

    
            Manager.ActiveBrowser.RefreshDomTree();
SilverlightApp testGame = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames.ById(WebAiiPageElements.GAME_FRAMEID).SilverlightApps()[0];

Calling helper method from another CS. file. (Nunit tempate)

Hi Guys,

Apologies for asking the same question again but I think I was not clear enough in the previous time:

Using the WebAii Nunit template, I've got 2 separate CS. files. One file contains tests that call helper methods from the other.

The file that contains the tests:

namespace MyTests

{

[TestFixture]

public class TestCase_Login : BaseTest

{

Paths Path = new Paths ();

[Test]

public void LoginBase()

{

Path.baseLogin();

}

The other file that contains the helper methods:

namespace Helpers

{

class Paths : BaseTest

{

public void baseLogin()

{

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.FireFox);

Manager.SetNewBrowserTracking(true);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(Manager.Settings.BaseUrl);

Manager.ActiveBrowser.WaitUntilReady();

}

Trying to run the test will result:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I understand that there is no testsetup run for the Paths class so the inherited BaseTest Manager objectis not instantiated and is not settable to the outer class' Manager referencesince the BaseTest Manager reference is read only.

As I want to keep the helper methods in a separate cs. file, could please advice how should I create a private manager property for

the Paths class (And similar classes) and how to pass the outer class manager in the constructor in order to be able to use a single instantiated Manager object to be used in the different helper classes.

Thanks in advance,

SD.
