RadToolBar FindItemByText() getting exception after navigating to second page

I am still relatively new to using the Telerik Testing Framework and am still figuring some things out, but this one has puzzled me for almost a day now. I am running a scenario, using MSTest as the unit test framework and IE 8, to log a user in and then log out. Simple, right? Well, I can get the user logged in without issue, but after the browser navigates to the page after successful log in I will get an error trying to call the RadToolBar FindItemByText() method. I can access the "Log Off" button I am looking for if I use a more direct approach as displayed in my code example, but I really like the features that the RadControl wrappers provide. What I find the most confusing about this, is if I find the RadToolBar element (common control on the Master page for the project) and perform a FindItemByText() method prior to logging in it works without getting the error.

Thanks for any help!

The following is my code and then the details of the error captured by VS2012 debugger.

string userName = TestContext.DataRow["Username"].ToString();

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("~/User/LogInPage.aspx");

HtmlFindExpression untbExpr = new HtmlFindExpression("id=?RadTextBoxUserName_wrapper");

ActiveBrowser.WaitForElement(untbExpr, 30000, false);

RadTextBox usernameTb = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression<RadTextBox>(untbExpr);

usernameTb.Clear();

usernameTb.TypeText(userName);

HtmlFindExpression lbExpr = new HtmlFindExpression("id=?RadButtonLogin_input");

ActiveBrowser.WaitForElement(lbExpr, 30000, false);

RadButton loginButton = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression<RadButton>(lbExpr);

loginButton.MouseClick(); //Navigates to ~/Default.aspx but authenticated.

//Throws error

HtmlFindExpression expr = new HtmlFindExpression("id=?RadToolBarMain");

ActiveBrowser.WaitForElement(expr, 30000, false);

RadToolBar tb = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression<RadToolBar>(expr);

RadToolBarItem lob = tb.FindItemByText("Log Off");

//WORKS!!!

//HtmlFindExpression loButton = new HtmlFindExpression("title=^Log Off", "class=rtbWrap");

//ActiveBrowser.WaitForElement(loButton, 30000, false);

//HtmlAnchor lob = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression<HtmlAnchor>(loButton);

//lob.MouseHover();

Firefox: Actions.InvokeScript<T> error, works fine in IE/Chrome

Consider the following tests:

const string JS =

"( function() { var ls = []; for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) ls.push({ Key: \"key_\" + i, Value: \"value_\" + i }); return ls; } )();"

;

[TestMethod]

public void testJavascriptReturnsDictionaryIe() {

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.telerik.com/products/free-testing-framework/overview.aspx");

var result = Actions.InvokeScript<Dictionary<string, string>>(JS);

}

[TestMethod]

public void testJavascriptReturnsDictionaryFirefox() {

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.FireFox);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.telerik.com/products/free-testing-framework/overview.aspx");

var result = Actions.InvokeScript<Dictionary<string, string>>(JS);

}

[TestMethod]

public void testJavascriptReturnsDictionaryChrome() {

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.Chrome);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.telerik.com/products/free-testing-framework/overview.aspx");

var result = Actions.InvokeScript<Dictionary<string, string>>(JS);

}

Chrome and IE return a Dictionary<string,string> properly. Firefox (I have version 21, with Firefox Http Client 2012.2.1205.0) throws an exception during InvokeScript:

Any help or resolution is appreciated. I'm trying not to need separate Javascript for each browser, because Testing Framework should abstract that for me. Thank you.

Manager.Browsers.Count not Adding/Refreshing

Manager.Browsers.Count is not adding up even though the second browser instance opened up.

In automation on button click one more browser is opening up but the Browser count is still showing up as 1 instead of 2

Tried approaches as below

Manager.SetNewBrowserTracking(true

);

Manager.Wait.For(browsers => Manager.Browsers.Count == 2, Manager.Browsers.Count, 100000);

Also tried with WaitUntilReady() , but still Browser count shows up as 1..

Any inputs??

Automated Testing for Batch Update Telerik Grid

We need help in writing automated test scripts for testing Telerik Batch Update Grid. Our automation script fails while trying to enter values into text boxes on edit of the grid. Clicking on the cell of the grid does not open the text box when we use our automated script.

Would appreciate any help on this...

Our script looks like something like this...

driver.Click("/html/body/div[8]/div/form/table/tbody/tr/td[5]/span");

driver.Click("//form[@id='POLinesform']/table/tbody/tr/td[@id='LineNumber' and text()='1']/../td[@id='Warehouse']");

driver.ClearSendKeysWithName("Warehouse", testPo.warehouse);

Let me know if more information is needed.

Thanks

How to Find Elements in Wpf Application?

Hi,

How to find elements in a wpf application?

I referred to the link below:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/write-tests-in-code/silverlight-test-automation/wpf-test-automation.aspx

I don't have the source code of the application or the element Properties, how can i find the elements in the application?

I was able to launch the application from visual studio using the coded step.

WpfApplication wpf = Manager.LaunchNewApplication(@"Application.APPREF-MS");

Application is launching but i'm not able to Find the elements In it.

Attached below the screenshot from Telerik Website.

Firefox not waiting on submit?

I am playing with the Telerik Testing Framework to compare it to Selenium, so we can decide if we will use it or Selenium moving forward. So far it seems to work well, and I have my first simple test case working great with IE. However when I run it with Firefox it fails, because when I submit the form on a page it returns immediately to my test code, while Firefox is still processing the submit in the background. With IE it does not do this, and waits until the submit has finished, and the site has rendered the resulting next page (which is the result of a redirect; it is testing our login page).

The code for the simple test is as follows:

// Browse to the login page

Browser.NavigateTo("https://test.somedomain.com/Account/LogOn");

// Enter the user name and password

Find.ById<HtmlInputText>("UserName").Text = "UserName";

Find.ById<HtmlInputPassword>("Password").Text = _strongPassword;

// Now submit the form

Find.ByAttributes<HtmlInputSubmit>("value=Confirm").Click();

// Make sure we ended up on the categories page and the login succeeded

Assert.IsTrue(Browser.ContainsText("Categories / Products"));

The problem crops up with the Assert at the end. With IE, the test framework waits when the .Click() is done on the confirm button, and does not return until the resulting page has rendered. So then I can test for the content and it woks. With Firefox it returns immediately and the content in the browser is not correct since it has not yet changed, but the submit is being processed in the background.

I was trying to find out if there is a way to force it to wait after the submit to make it work with Firefox, but can't figure that out yet. But either way I think the test framework should be waiting on submit until the browser has settled and rendered the next page?

RadComboBox SelectItem fails with long lists

I am attempting to select an item from a RadComboBox using the WebAii testing framework. The combo box contains a list of state names where the drop down list is big enough to show 7 states at a time. The following code is attempting to select "Wisconsin" from the combo box (radComboBox is an instance of RadComboBox in Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml).

radComboBox.SelectItem("Wisconsin");

And is generating the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: Point (2220, 1624) outside bounds of browser window: (1797, 194, 1073, 717)

With the following stack trace:

ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UserInteraction.ValidateMouseLocationIfNeeded(Point point)
ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UserInteraction.Click(MouseClickType clickType, Point offsetPoint, OffsetReference reference)
Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.RadComboBox.SelectItem(String itemText, Boolean openDropDown)
Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.RadComboBox.SelectItem(String itemText)
<my call to SelectItem>

This same call will work for other combo boxes where the list contains 7 items or less. Any clues for getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Better Firefox support in Telerik Testing Framework

To avoid issues with any plugins like RoboForm or others that might cause problems, and to ensure you have a clean slate when doing UI testing, it would be worth considering doing what Selenium does when it spawns Firefox. It uses the -profile command line option to spawn the Firefox used for testing with a completely fresh profile (and you can force a specific one if you wish with a config option). That way you know it won't get messed up by any other features or plugins. It would be really good if the Telerik tools could do the same thing:

firefox.exe -profile "E:\myprofile"

I also believe if you do this, it will spawn a brand new Firefox instance, so it won't interfere with an existing one that you might have running at the same time.

Not sure if this is at all possible with IE, but if it is possible with IE that would be a welcome addition there as well.
