Hi,

I am recording a scenario for an intranet application which uses the windows authentication and doesn't have login page. When I record for the regular user role scenario and then separately record for his/her supervisor role, the tests record and execute as expected.
But if I try to record complete scenario into one test of opening the browser with regular user and performing certain actions and then closing the browser to login as supervisor, doesn't work, as TS understands the close of browser as end of test and doesn't take recordings for Supervisor role.
So, I recorded them separately and then copy+pasted them to one single test. Now, executing would not close the browser after first login and fails while trying to key in the credentials of the supervisor.
Hand coding to add  ActiveBrowser.Close(); helped in closing the browser forcibly, but not able to manage how to open the browser for next login.

Any straight settings or work-arounds?

Thanks,
Ravi

How could I return some parameter from 1 method and use it as input parameter in another method?

I have 2 methods and need to communicate between them

I am following the instructions from this thread to validate a hyperlink exists on a web page of search results, however the object being returned is null.  I do not need to click on the link, just verify that there is one link on the page that contains the string from 'WorkItem'.

Am I using the code correctly or is it not designed to find the string among characters (like Substr or Mid)... :|

Any other tips would be great.  Thanks much!

Hi,

I have an issue with Test Lists. I am running Test Studio version 2011.2.1413.0

I have a script that iterates through 7 rows of data in a data file. When I run the script directly from the Record tab everything works perfectly. When I run the script from a Test List the script fails at the first iteration. There is no error reported from the Test List.

The faiure happens at the first IF...ELSE statement in the script. The IF statement test is:
IF (Verify 'InnerText' 'StartsWith' 'Showing 0' on 'TableUsersInfoDiv') THEN

On the first pass the IF clause should report TRUE, and it does do that when the script is run from the Record window. Below is an extract from the (verbose) log generated by the Test List execution (and please note that all conditions prior to execution through the Reporting screen and the Test List are identical in every instance):

Trace] : Wait for 'InnerText' 'StartsWith' 'User List' on 'HtmlTag'
[Trace] : Click 'AllRadio'
[Trace] : Click:([Element: 'input:3' (id=all)])
[Trace] : Enter text 'test' in 'Text' - DataDriven: [$(UserName)]
[Trace] : SetText:([Element: 'input:1']) - Text:
[Trace] : ScrollToVisible:([Element: 'input:1']) - ElementTopAtWindowTop
[Trace] : MouseClick:LeftDown (1108,454)
[Trace] : MouseClick:LeftUp (1108,454)
[Trace] : MouseClick:LeftClick (1108,454)
[Trace] : IF (Verify 'InnerText' 'StartsWith' 'Showing 0' on 'TableUsersInfoDiv') THEN
[Trace] : Comment: User ID already exists so just logout
[Trace] : Execute test 'g_Logout'
[Trace] : Comment: Script: g_GenericLogout; Author: Nigel Edwards; date: 02/03/12
[Trace] : Execute test 'g_LogoutWaitForButton'
[Trace] : Comment: Script: g_WaitForLogoutButton; Author: Nigel Edwards; date: 02/03/12

The COMMENT line reported above is actually within the ELSE clause. This shows that a swathe of code (over 30 lines) within the IF statement is not being executed when run from the Test List. In fact the 'InnerText' does start with 'Showing 0'. I've attached the full test script to this posting, but in brief, what should happen after the IF test is a further verification line immediately followed by a button-click. Instead the Test List version skips to the ELSE clause, which is a Logout command.
As I say, the script functions 100% correctly when run directly from the Record window.

A little bit more information for you, here is the .aiilist file from the last time I tried to execute my script through a Test List:

...also, I have created a stripped down script that also fails in exactly the same way, so it is not just one script. Here's the Test List execution log:

Hi,

Yesterday I posted "Test List 'skips over' execution code" to the forum.  The link is:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/community/forums/test-studio/general-discussions/test-list-skips-over-execution-code.aspx

If I search for 'nigel edwards' all my posts except the above are found.  Why not this one?

I can click on the link and find the post, but searching for the post doesn't locate it.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

I have following object on my page:
http://screencast.com/t/z66xIoROx
If I run test with step "click" this object and "Toggle Annotation" is on - test performs successfully.
If "Toggle Annotation" is off - click on this object works incorrectly - adjacent button is clicked and test failed.

I want to extract some coded steps from my test to use it by different tests. These coded steps work with variables defined in test and these variables are different in different test.
I want to extract CodedStep to separate test, but how I could pass variable 'accountEmailDomain' from current running test?
I only guess to do it like
but I need to pass testname to this separate test.

Please suggest.

I have following data grid with many rows in it which are like following
To handle it I should click on cell with title "Cell2"(but this ID have all rows in table).
Rows differ each other by value in Cell_3.

Please suggest how I could define row with proper 'Cell_3' value and click call with Cell_2 value?

Hi

I have a datagrid/table where for each row (except the header) there are some hidden values, some showng info and a button.

What I'm wanting to do is loop through the rows and find in the first column the values in 2 hidden fields.  If hidden1 and hidden2 match datavalue1 and datavalue2 then I can find the correct rowindex and therefore find the correct button to click.

I can successfully loop through the rows of the table, but i'm not sure how to find the value of the hidden fields for EACH row as I loop through.

I can find it on the page using

Dim cpolicy As HtmlInputHidden = Pages.TravelInsuranceSalesSystem1.Get(Of HtmlInputHidden)("id=ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_TestGrid_ctl02_cpolicy")

but not for each cell as I'm unsure how to refer to a partial ID for a hidden field.

This is what I have so far, the htmlinputhidden is incorrect:

Hi, 

Is it possible that I single step through my coded step?

thx
