dummy@example.com (Neha Auchar) — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:09:43 +0000

Hi All,

I want to wait till the alert /message box/till the

_span("Finalizing: Preparing and logging process summary"

appears in the screen.

Approximate time taken for alert to popup is around 15 min .

i tired using,
_wait(105600, _isVisible(_span("Finalizing: Preparing and logging process summary")));
or
_wait(10000, _lastAlert());

SAHI does not wait till then .

basically my requriement is :
1. Wait for Alert.
2. If appears , then print lastAert and say it is successful.
3. if fails , then print unsuccessful.

Could you please help me with this.

Need help to resolve SAHI-SmartGWT problems

dummy@example.com (narayan) — Mon, 28 May 2012 11:36:01 +0000

Hi,

We have a SmartGWT based Client for which I'm trying SAHI to automate its testing.
Currently I'm facing many issues where SAHI controller is unable to detect GUI portions.

OS Name: MS XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3
Browser Name & Version: Firefox 12.0
Sahi Build: Sahi Open Source ( sahi-v35 2011-07-19 )

I would require your help to resolve them. I've listed 4 problems and would like you to analyze them & if possible help me to resolve them.

I've provided html code (as seen by firebug) for portions which SAHI is not able to detect.

Let me know if you require anything else.

1. Checkbox Problem: SAHI is not able to detect any checkboxes of our SmartGWT Client

Below is the code example of one such checkbox as captured by firebug.

Synchronize language with service profile

2. Dynamic DOM IDs Problem:

This problem needs some explanation.
There are some portions (radio button, images, divs) in our Client which is being recognized by SAHI controller by certain name.

For eg: We have a radio button in our client. We record it using SAHI controller (in java mode) & it gives us below code

browser.radio("isc_I8").click();

Now when we logout from our client & re-login & browse to same radio button, this time SAHI controller recognizes it with different ID....let say

browser.radio("isc_K1").click();

This might be happening this way due to the fact that our SmartGWT Client does not have any Static IDs for that particular radio button, hence the Client probably generates random dynamic IDs.

One way of dealing with this problem is to contact our DEV team & ask them to use Static IDs (which does not change upon re-logins/close) for such GUI portions so that SAHI always recognizes them with unique ID.

Other way is that if SAHI has any mechanism to handle these dynamic kind of scenario automatically? Can SAHI handle such things?

3. Drop Down Problem

We have a drop down portion with below HTML code as seen by firebug:

All Directories

Now, the drop down shows "All Directories" initially and our goal is to click this drop down and choose below option from this drop down (in this case its "personal").

When we record this portion using SAHI controller, it sees it as

browser.div("All Directories")

So, I formulated below script where it clicks initial DIV & tries to choose another option...But when we run below code, it throws an exception:

browser.cell("SEARCH").click();
browser.div("All Directories").click();
browser.div("Personal[1]").click(); ==> This is inside Drop down, what we are trying to choose

EXCEPTION
=========

Exception in thread "main" error:_click(_div("All Directories"))
Error: The parameter passed to _click was not found on the browser
    at net.sf.sahi.client.Browser.executeStep(Browser.java:205)
    at net.sf.sahi.client.Browser.execute(Browser.java:172)
    at net.sf.sahi.client.Browser.click(Browser.java:308)
    at net.sf.sahi.client.ElementStub.click(ElementStub.java:66)
    at SahiDriverDemo.main(SahiDriverDemo.java:59)

Kindly NOTE: We get similar exception & problem is observed for all drop down portions in our application.

4. GUI which loads upon Clicking

We have a GUI which is recognized by SAHI controller (in java mode) as

browser.cell("DIRECTORIES").click();

HTML code for this portion as seen by firebug is

 DIRECTORIES
 
Enterprise

Now when we click this portion, new GUI portion gets added under it at runtime. Its html code is very big, thus not highlighting it here.

The problem is that SAHI controller does not record any thing for this newly added GUI portion. Hence we are not able to test its functionality.

accessing definition list

dummy@example.com (rdo) — Sat, 26 May 2012 13:51:00 +0000

Hello,

Is there api for accessing definition list and its elements - the html tags dl, dt, dd?
It looks the _list() function works only with ol and ul tags.

I'm using the free version (Build: 2011-07-19).

Anyone using page objects in Sahi

dummy@example.com (dasspunk) — Sat, 26 May 2012 13:50:33 +0000

I'm interested in introducing a page object pattern to my sahi scripts and wanted to see if anyone here in the forum is doing this too... The pages themselves seem pretty straight forward but I'm interested in HOW you incorporate them into your tests. How you call them from your scripts and how you manage them in general. Any examples you could give would also be great.

Thanks a bunch,
Brian

150s timeout on my scripts , Dont know why its occurs only remotely

dummy@example.com (sham) — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:18:18 +0000

Hi all,

To begin with I must say that there is another post about this timeout issue (but that seems a bit different).

Here is my problem.
Locally I have setup jenkins and I"m running sahi tests VIA jenkins easily.. All my tests succeed without any problems..

Now when i put those same script up on my work servers and try to run there are some weird issues i'm facing.
(Here is my remote setup)
1.) Machine used for Jenkins is a different VM
2.) The machine used as sahi host (ubuntu 11.04) is a different VM
3.) The machine on which my sahi tests should be executed are on a different VM

NOW,
when i run testrunner.sh with all necessary parameters directly from the ubuntu machine (SAHI HOST) , I get the usual log of the setup and it waits and waits and waits..
after about 150scecs it closes down saying the "script could not start under 150s".

(These same scripts are working without a hitch on my local machines).
So what i did was to RDP into the ubuntu machine (SAHI HOST)
b.) launched firefox and manually changed proxy settings
c.) started sahi.sh
d.) ctrl+alt+dbl click and played back my script on that machine (VIA RDP).

"It all worked fine."

But when i connect to this ubuntu machine (VIA VPN) and ssh into it and run testrunner.sh only then the script fails to open up the browser..
What could be the reason?
Please advice

SAHI XML Test Report and other things that can make it better

dummy@example.com (globalworming) — Thu, 24 May 2012 21:33:29 +0000

HI,
I have been using SAHI open source for quite some time now.
I have found it very helpfull .But, it lacks some basic things that could make this tool rock
1.Option to specify xml,html for the playback html reports that are generated.This will help in integrating with other reporting systems in organization.- if this can be done in open source ver.
2. Annotation for methods similar to nunit and other automation tools.
e.g
[Test]
function MyTestCase()
{}.Then ,maybe sahi can get identify them as test cases and set the test pass/fail accordingly and other methods can be treated as comm. functions.
