Questions on Test Studio Forum

I have an issue where a parent test is extracting a value from its dataset and which is used in the first iteration through the subtest, but when it comes back to reuse it an error re the extracted variable not being in the store occurs.

What I've got is:

0 – Login - extracts value A from login dataset

1 – Do scenarios - for each record in "scenario" dataset and create NEW dataset based on information extracted from "scenario" dataset AND "extracted value A"

2 – run tests based on created dataset

Now as each test/subtest has its own dataset, it can’t inherit from its parent BUT the first run through test #1 it uses "extracted value A" with no problem. When it attempts to run through it again the "extracted value A" appears to have been lost as it throws an error when I'm recreating the dataset.

Each subtest is set as a test fragment, and they both reuse the app window. Only the initial "0 - Login" test is set to use a new window - but that it isn't getting that far.

Hopefully I haven't confused you.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Cheryl

Error on wait on Ajax

Hello,

From time to time I get strange tests failture reports on wait for ajax.
I'm using a code from this forum:

[CodedStep("Wait for AJAX")]

public void AjaxWait()

{

Wait.For<int>(c => ActiveAjaxConnections() == 0, 0, 120000);

}

public int ActiveAjaxConnections()

{

return Actions.InvokeScript<int>("jQuery.active");

}

It works great but from time to time exception is thrown and I get false alerts on application status:
Here is stack trace for the exception:

System.ApplicationException: Exception thrown during the wait for a condition. Error: Unexpected error while waiting on condition. Error: ArtOfTest.WebAii.Exceptions.ExecuteCommandException: ExecuteCommand failed!

at ArtOfTest.WebAii.BrowserSpecialized.InternetExplorer.InternetExplorerActions.InvokeScript[T](String script)

Any idea how to prevent it?

I could use try / catch block but I don't like this solution because I would'n get info when something really wrong happens to my application.

I'm using Telerik Test Studio version 2011.2.928.0

Unable to locate element in Safari

Using the latest trial version and Safari 5.1.

I have a click event on a tree node which loads a document in an iframe. Using debug mode I open the Find Element dialog and click Troubleshoot then Select a New Element.

This is all I see in the element:
<html><head><script src="safari-extension://com.telerik.webui-KHL9D64Z9H/44544ee7/windowMessageHandler.js"></script></head><body></body></html>

In the browser the iframe has loaded normally.

The same test works fine in IE, Chrome and Firefox.

I've ensured all the browser settings are ok for Safari.

Is there a quick fix for this?

Cheers,
Steve

Getting error while identifying a Frame

Hi Telerik Team,

I am trying to read data from a HTMLTable type control. The frame in which this control is placed is using a dynamic query. IFrmae src property is displayed as: <partial url>?mode=<static string>&ID=<dynamic number>

Due to this I am not able to identify the frame and getting error as:

Waiting for frame '[Frame:src=~<partial url>?mode=<static string>&ID=<dynamic number>,UseQuery:True]' timed out. Error: Wait for condition has timed out

I tried to executing the code by setting ‘UseQuery’ attribute to ‘False’ in element explorer. But it was causing problems as there is similar frame being used on different page of my application. In that case the src=<partial url> property is same for both the frames so I cannot set ‘UseQuery’ attribute to ‘False’.

Is there a way I can handle the dynamic id generated for the Frames Query string?

This does work with Firefox and Chrome.

Can you suggest any solution or workaround?

WebBrowser for Silverligth OOB application

Hello,

It appears the checks for Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser does not work with Test Studio. After disabling the check in a couple of places to bypass it, I finally hit a wall with a login page that uses the webBrowser control. I'm unable to record my OOB application. See image attached.

TestStudio Standalone - DialogMonitor issue

I just spent the last several hours trying to figure out why my coded step to handle a file upload dialog absolutely would not work when used in a data-driven test, and I feel that I should pass this bit of info along in case anybody else is running into similar issues.

My situation is as follows:

I'm using the TestStudio Standalone version to test an ASP.NET Web Application.
I'm testing a set of actions wherein a file input html control is used at some point.
I wanted to extract the exact bits where the file input is handled so that I could reuse it in my similar tests.
I made a small data-driven test to do this that inherits its data-source from its parent.
That test would run properly on its first iteration but on any of the following iterations, nothing would happen once the file upload dialog popped up.

To make a long story short, I was following examples that I found online (mostly from these forums) where people were trying to programatically handle dialogs, and in most of those threads, "Manager.DialogMonitor.Start();" and "Manager.DialogMonitor.Stop();" were being called before and after (respectively) the dialog was handled in the code. As it turns out, though, once "DialogMonitor.Stop();" is called, the DialogMonitor cannot be started again, which is why only the first iteration of my test was working.

Now that I think about it, most of those threads were probably posted by people using the TestStudio VS Plugin as opposed to the Standalone version. Regardless, I never saw any mention of the fact that explicitely stopping the DialogMonitor in the Standalone version would render it unable to be started again. As I also found out, it doesn't need to be explicitely started in the Standalone version either, but that's besides the point.

I did notice that in the TestStudio Standalone Documentation, the Start/Stop methods aren't included in the examples, but at the time, I presumed that was for the sake of brevity and merely glanced over it. Perhaps I'm just blind, but in my humble opinion, it should be more obvious that these two methods should not be used when working with the Standalone version (presuming that the issue I ran into isn't a bug). It may be a small issue, but it killed much of my productivity for a day.
