Hello,
We have been using the test framework in Chrome for a while now but when Chrome upgraded itself we needed the latest version of the extensions in order for our test suite to work.  However, in that we lost something... Hard to say what...

what happens is when we do a find.byhtmlexpression then successive calls are not made and this exception is thrown:
if we switch browser type then the functions work, but we are required to test in chrome.  Seems to be something with refresh dom tree

Hello,

I used your tool found in this thread to convert my project from VB to C#.  When attempting to execute, I receive the error "The type or namespace name 'Pages' could not be found."  Is this easily solved by including an assembly reference?  I attempted to find the "System.Windows.Forms" assembly but I do not have the Profile/Client subfolders that are indicated further down in the thread.  

Thanks!

We conduct server maintenance on Wednesday nights (applying Windows updates etc.) and I run a series of tests (some as Test Lists and some not) to verify everything is back up. 

For several week now, I have encountered a strange thing happening with my Test Studio.  I try to kick off my test lists and they merely open one blank browser page after another.  When this situation occurs, I cannot run a single test alone (just get a blank page) and I cannot create a new test (click actions won't record).  Closing and reopening Test Studio does nothing to remedy the situation.

I have found that the only way to fix it is completely close everything down and reboot my machine.  Once back up the tests run normally.  Rebooting is very inconvenient especially if I'm remote.

Anyone have an idea of what is causing this and a fix?  I cannot seem to make it do it, it just this on occasion (about 6 or 7 times in as many weeks).

I have installed test studio and recorded opening a browser and navigate dating to google.com.  
It when rnning the test it runs fine when i use Firefox but in IE9 it sets about:blank in the link and of course fails.  The log Contains the error that follows.  

How does one correct this error?

Thanks

Hi,

This is hari. i have a question to ask.
some time back, i have used this telerik test studio trail for automating our client application(6 months back). We did this as a POC to our client (my client is already using telerik controls in our application,hence there are customer/client to you also).
But at that time, you supported only record and replay for automating the applications.

from that time, we are looking for any tools in the market which automate our silverlight application with out concept of record and replay. ( reason for not going to record and replay procedure is if any change in the application will need to re-record again).

Recently we found a tool called TestComplete 8(smartbear.com), which supports record n replay and J#/VB Script/Delphi/C++/C# scripting method, which really suits to our requirement and started working on this scripting way to automate our application.

This tool is 80% successful in completing our requirement(20% lags becos its in emerging state, need to be fix the issues what customers raises) please find below C# scripting to login in to my application for reference using testcomplete 8:
*************************************************************************************************************************

function Login()

{

var iexplore, URL,app,bi,us,pwd,lb;

 

iexplore =

 

TestedApps["iexplore"]["Run"]();

 

URL = "http://xxxxxxxxx/xxx/";

if (!iexplore.WaitPage("*", 10000)["Exists"])

 

 

Sys["Keys"]("[Esc]");

 

iexplore["WaitPage"]("*", 2000)["ToURL"](URL);

iexplore.WaitChild("form1",5000);

app = iexplore["Page"]("http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxx/")["Form"]("form1")["Panel"]("silverlightControlHost")["Object"]("XXXSLApp");

 

bi = app["SlObject"]("RadBusyIndicator","");

us = bi["SlObject"]("PART_ExtendedTextbox");

us.Keys("username");

pwd = bi["SlObject"]("Password");

pwd.Keys("password");

lb = bi["SlObject"]("LoginButton");

lb.Click();

}

*************************************************************************************************************************

We went with POC of this to our customer using testcomplete 8(they are customer to you also bcos using telerik controls in our silverlight application). They are happy with the approch of us, but they were asking us to check whether this scripting procedure of automating the application is available with telerik also.

Please let me know if this kind of approach is available to automate our application in telerik or not. Your response is going to be big help for us.

Thanks.,
Hari/wish

   

I'm user of Telerik Test Studio 2011.2.1117.0. My license will be expired 24.11.2012.
What is last version of Telerik Test Studio? How could I upgrade to this version?
I'm asking about it because there are several Telerik's bugs that stop my testing.

our product is using in different project with different configuration.
but the basic function is the same.
i just want to record one project with all the basic functions, then i can reuse it in different project.

what i did is that after i finish recording one project(the replay is ok),i save all the project with the steps in the name of other project's name.

then in the new project,i just change the first navigate which change the url to the new one.
but the replay didn't work like what i expected.

after that i found, the url of frame is still the same with the first one.
so,do i need to change all the url of the frame by myself one by one?
or there is a simple way to solve it?

thank you

i found many function like command buttons in our system was almost the same.
so in order to save the time,
can i copy the element from the exsiting elements list?

for example
i have the add button which is recorded in the elements list.
and other buttons like modify, delete
i can copy the new one only to edit them by changing the finding logic,
other than record them again.

is that possible?

Hi Guys,

I have a situation where a textblock is created whose name is either 'TrueTextBlock' or 'FalseTextBlock'. Ignoring the fact it's quite a poor idea to change the name of a textblock based on the text content is there a way I can do something like this:

if(Pages.HardCatNextGen.SilverlightApp.FalseTextblock.Wait.ForExists(1000))

Where ForExists returns 'true' if FalseTextBlock exists and 'false' if FalseTextBlock does not exist.

ForExists works to check if a control exists (correct me if I'm wrong), however it doesn't return a true or false value if the control in question exists or doesn't.

Is there such a function I could leverage to do what I want?

Cheers
