Hi I would like to see what is the expression to use so the caption does not carry the version number.

Thanks!

I want to start a test by opening up Windows File Explorer, navigating to my desktop folder, navigating to another folder and then launch an HTML form in IE. I'm not sure how to do that. I've searched the documentation but I'm not finding much. Thanks!

I just updated to Test Studio 2016.1 version and I was not able to compile my projects.

I got the "Missing Assembily" Errors for all TestofArt classes.

After resetting the Assembilies in the setting tab, I was able to run the project.

But do I need to reset and re-import Assembilies for all of my exisiting projects after the update?

This may have been covered in an old thread but search turned up nothing.

Has anyone integrated TS with Mantis?   I am helping a startup that just bought TS and has been using Mantis for a long time so they don't want to switch to another BT product.  

Thanks,

In my software application we have drop down menus that only show on mouseover.  These items navigate to other pages.  I am having difficulty getting the test to see the drop down menus to execute the click function when I rerun the test.  How can I go about forcing the test to display the drop down menu to allow for the program to execute properly?

Suddenly I have encountered a compile failed error on remote execution. I got the following error under results:

 

Compile failed: c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\Projects\172eb586-88ca-49d8-ba54-77c7a827f982\Trunk\Pages.g.cs(8826,39) : error CS1519: Invalid token '' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

 

Local execution is working OK. What could be the reason for such behaviour?

 

 

When building a verification step using Step Builder for a WPF test, the TextBox targets are incorrect for some TextBox elements, even though the Find Expression on each different TextBox is similar. As you can see in the attached images, the targets of the Verification Step in Step Builder are different even when both have XamlTag = TextBox as part of the Find Expression. These images also only show part of the issue, since sometimes no element-specific verification targets (e.g. TextBox, TextBlock) show up at all when selecting a TextBox element. We have tried a number of changes to see if we can alter the inconsistent behavior, such as relocating the element and altering the Find Expression afterward, restarting Test Studio, and manually changing XamlTag to see if the Verification Step targets change, however, the inconsistency persists. This makes it impossible to create a verification step to ensure the TextBox has the correct text value.

How can we work around this problem?

 

 

Greetings -

I've reviewed the help document "Merge Page Nodes" in order to merge elements in our WPF tests. After reproducing the behavior therein for Web tests, I'm at a loss as to how to apply this to WPF tests, since "Compare Mode" doesn't exist for WPF pages.

What I want to do is to merge all the elements which have the same Find Expression across all our WPF tests in the same project. How is this possible?

I need to test how long it takes for a page to render in the different browsers.  The challenge is that its password protected.  Now I recorded the scripts and it plays back just fine but when I do the performance test it lists the steps of the login and authentication but does not show me when the page I intended to go to start loading.  SO I'eas?m guessing here because it looks to lump the authentication and loading of the page I intended to go to together.  Any ideas?

I have a Test Studio Standalone project with a database Data Source. I've written a coded step that inserts test data directly into the database, since this particular data cannot be created directly from the UI with a recorded step. Currently, the DB ConnectionString is hard-coded in this step's code, but I would like it to be dynamic by using the same ConnectionString as the existing Data Source. Is this possible?

I've tried binding the Data Source to the coded step then using Reflection to find the connection strings in the current configuration, but the ConnectionString from the Data Source was not in there. Probably because it only works from an explicit app.config file (in Visual Studio project), which I do not have.

Is there a way to programmatically retrieve the connection string, or do I need to take another approach?

Perhaps my best option is to have a utility class to store connection strings globally accessible to all coded steps? If I do this, is there a way to programmatically retrieve the BaseURL setting for it to determine which connection string is appropriate based on which machine/environment the tests are running in?

Thanks for any input and suggestions.
