Hi folks,

Is there a restriction on the use of Excel .xlsm files as data sources?  Test Studio reports that my BaseData.xlsm, created with Office 2010,  file is "...not a valid 'Excel' source file".

Thanks,

Hi all,

I think I have found a logic issue with content validation, but it maybe that I'm just not understanding something, or not applying the test correctly.  Would somebody clarify this for me, please?
I have a field called 'roleCreatedOn' that contains a plain text date-time.  The HTML is:

<td id="roleCreatedOn">

19/03/2012 11:29:54

</td>

I want a test that checks that the field is not empty, so I set the Build Verification as:
    Content Verify TextContent NotContain (empty)
But when I then check that the validation is correct, Test Studio displays this:

Content.TextContent of elementdoes not match!

   Match Type: 'NotContain'
   Expected Result: ''
   Value at time of failure: '19/03/2012 11:29:54'

Parameters:
-----------
TagSegmentType  = 'TextContent'
CompareType     = 'NotContain'
ExpectedString  = Expected:[] , Actual:[19/03/2012 11:29:54]

Since the field is not empty, surely the test value returned should be true?  Why does Test Studio think the Expected Result should be ''?
Am I testing for an empty or null field correctly?

Thanks,
Nigel Edwards, Transition Computing. 

Hi.
Is that possible to run the tests in the list randomly everytime without modify the order manually?
Thanks in advance

Ran into this message on an automated test I ran today using FireFox.  Looks like it failed at the start of execution.  Any insights as to the cause?  The other odd thing is that while I was watching the screen during execution, opening and closing browser windows during navigation test steps, one of the FireFox windows appeared completely blank/white with the text "Preparing the browser for automation".  From this point on, each subsequent browser window opened in FireFox looked the same and none of them closed -- they simply stacked up one after another.  ???

In my test run today, when my test step failed, I found this in the test log entry.  

'3/15/2012 4:21:27 PM' - Detected a failure. Step is marked 'ContinueOnFailure=False' aborting test execution.

I looked in the settings at the Test Step, Test, Project, and Test List levels but I don't know where this setting is configured.  I simply want my test list to continue running through the remaining steps if this one (or similar) fails.  At this point in the test, I'm simply validating URL links to external websites and then navigating back to our page.  It appears that the external page simply didn't finish loading within the specified time.  

Thanks,

Hello,

when I click the Test as Step button to add an exisiting test part as a step to an empty web test Test Studio hangs and crashes.
Version is 2011.2.1413.

Are there any known limitations because we already have quite many test parts.

Kind regards

Edit: The test project is hosted in TFS but we are using VS to manage it ( through pending changes window ).

I'd like to insert a step into my tests to refresh the browser before navigating to the target web page.  I thought I could easily do this by using the Simulate User or Simulate Typing functions, but I'm having difficulty doing so.  Anyone have any direction for me?

If i want to find  <div class="zipChange"> under <iframe id="incentives-iframe" class="active" frameborder="0" src="https://lincoln-incentives.fdv3.com//Page/?zipcode=48152&year=2012&make=Lincoln&model=MKS&site=NG&app_context=ngbs_sploffr">

how can do it??

Hello,

Is there a way to force an exit out of a loop using the UI or should this be handled in code?

Here is my scenario: I am searching for a customer immediately after creating it.  Rather than specifying an execution delay, I'd rather have Telerik repeat this search until it is found, however if unsuccessful after 10 tries, then give up.  I could use the 'Loop' and specify 10 times, but if the customer is found on the second attempt, I don't want to execute the loop 8 more times.  I could use the 'While...Loop', but if the customer is never found, the search will continue infinitely.

Any thoughts?  Thanks!

My test recently started displaying the Windows Internet Explorer dialog with the message below and see attached... How can I handle this in a coded step if it appears... keep in mind sometimes it doesn't appear.... geez...

Also, the webpage I am refreshing has nothing to do with purchases or buying anything... it's not a shopping site at all....


Message is:

To display the webpage again, the web browser needs to resend the information you've previously submitted.

If you were making a purchase, you should click Cancel to avoid duplicate transaction. Otherwise, click Retry to display the webpage again.
