I'm getting the following error when I attempt to run tests against Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. It does still work with IE. These tests worked prior to upgrading to 2014.2.618.

Test Name: TelerikChromeTest
Test FullName: Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest
Test Source: C:\Files\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Telerik\Telerik\UnitTest1.vb : line 58
Test Outcome: Failed
Test Duration: 0:00:00.111429

Result Message:
Test method Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest threw exception: 
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

   at Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest() in C:\Files\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Telerik\Telerik\UnitTest1.vb:line 68

I was able to duplicate using this simple snippet of code:

<TestMethod()> Public Sub TelerikChromeTest()
        Dim Url As String = "http://msn.com"

        Dim s As New Settings
        s.Web.DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.Chrome

        Dim myManager = New Manager(s)

        myManager.Start()

        myManager.LaunchNewBrowser()

        myManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(Url)

        myManager.ActiveBrowser.Close()
        myManager.Dispose()
    End Sub

I appreciate any suggestions on resolving this issue.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I recently upgraded to version 2014.2.x of the test framework and since then receiving lots of catastrophic errors while testing a Silverlight application. Downgrading back to the last 2013 version made it all work again. But that version doesn't work under Windows 2012.


Any idea what I should do?

Here are two of the exception messages:

Exception 1:

When I try and FrameworkElement.Capture() on 2 different machines i get different results. On 1 of them there is a shift (see shifted1 image) where as on my dev machine it is correct (see Correct1 image).

Screen resolution is the same which is what I thought could be the cause but i have tried all different resolutions with same result.

Please help!

Chrome released version 35 over the weekend I believe. After doing so, it automatically disables the Telerik Testing Framework extension with no way to enable it.

Google says that in order to enable the extension, Telerik needs to migrate it to the Chrome Web store.

Just in case anyone else had the misfortune of updating Chrome.

Hi ,

I am trying to resize a chrome browser instance using Browser.ResizeContent() , but it doesn't seem to be working. Any idea why?

Thanks!

I am writing some auto test codes to my Silverlight application. I am testing the "save as file" function. Before prompts the save as dialog, Browser (I am using IE) will prompts a "File download - security warning" dialog due to security concern. After I click the "ok" button, the save as dialog present and I can choose the location to save the file. How can Testing Framework deal with this security warning dialog? I have tried the GenericDialog, but I cannot simulate the action of clicking "ok" button so that the save as dialog never appears. Could anyone give me some hints to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hi, I'm evaluating the Testing Framework, and am looking for a specific feature I'm hoping can be supported.
I think I see that to grab a bitmap of the page, I would use Browser.Window.GetBitmap(), which is awesome.
However, I would like to do the same thing, but from a page that is rendered with HTML source that is provided, not navigated to.  For example, I take some existing HTML source, do some manipulation, give it to the Browser to render somehow, then grab Bitmap.  Hopefully in some straightforward manner leveraging the Testing Framework.

Will Testing Framework allow me to do this?  Or is there a better way?

Thanks!

Hi,

the following code returns different results when running on IE11 and IE9:


IE11 (and FireFox):

IE9:

So assert on OuterMarkup fails when running on different machines.
Page itself has "<td scope="row">Education</td>" value - test is a modified one from the test suite that comes together with the framework.

You can download this sample project here.
Latest framework version is used (2014.1.410.0).

Can you please comment on this issue ?

Hello,

Is there any way to do automated test for a mobile website whose content is created dynamically, depending on if site is running on desktop or mobile device? There is a JSP code that recognize device type that is based on browsers User-Agent (code is available on http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/ ). 

So basically, If I run test on Test Studio Express it will only run desktop version of the site because User-Agent is desktops one.
Is there any way to manually inject User-Agent string from a mobile device into Teleriks test scenario?

Best regards,
Michael

When I try to install TestingFrameworkFree.2013.2.1327, it complains that there is a "shiny new installer" and points to TestingFrameworkFree.2014.1.410
The issue is that I do not want to install the newest version.

How can I get past the message?
