Hello,

 

I'm trying to verify that a password displays as masked (just a bunch of dots) on a web page.  Is there a way I can do this validation using Telerik?

 

Thank you and look forward to your response.

Hello,

I have added the code -

Log.WriteLine($"UTF-8 string: {utf8String}");

 

I am getting error on compilation Error CS1056 Unexpected Character $.

Please note, I am getting this error only on one of my servers. For others same code shows no compilation error.

Machine on which I am getting the error has .Net Framework 4.6 installed. Other machines where no compilation error, .Net Framework is not installed. Please confirm what shall I do to make this code work.

Is there a way in a coded step to accomplish the ELSE clause below?

LOOP (10) Times

IF element not present

Refresh to see if element becomes present

ELSE

Coded step to set for iteration to max so no more loops occur (or break out through other means without erroring)

Is there a way with a coded step to accomplish the ELSE clause above? I would like to fast-forward the LOOP iteration to the end by overriding the current iteration value with 10 once the element exists? Because of the required refresh, I can't just wait for it to exist.

I have workable solutions with both LOOP and WHILE, but both have drawbacks. The FOR doesn't require coded steps (only a simple coded step if the above ELSE is possible) but fills the log with iterations that don't do anything. The WHILE stops once my condition is met and doesn't do the excessive logging but requires far more complicated coded steps. This approach would be hard for me to teach to our test writers who, for the most part, are not code developers.

Thank you.

Basically as the title states, I haven't recorded tests for a month or two, and I came back and noticed test studio had to be updated. I updated the software and when I loaded my application, certain buttons were no longer picked up by the recorder. I had encountered this issue about 10 months ago but I simply used an older version to fix that issue. I tried installing that same version today but I could not. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,

I'm  having trouble getting TTS to capture an input field. It was working earlier exactly as it should. I was thinking that I did something to the Element Repository.   

 

Do you have any documentation about modularity of tests?

 

Hi,

I want to run multiple projects in which one has data.I can able to execute the project with hard code data but unable to use external data between projects.

Perhaps. We will see.

I see many questions about parameterization when running test lists on the forums and they all answer one thing: "BaseURL". But I want to parameterize on several other criteria. Can I? I cannot see a way to do it. Always the answer seems to be that we should use BaseURL. We have 3 custom properties in a Test. But how many in Test List? None.

So, what to do?

Well, Telerik is telling us to use the BaseURL.

A solution is this, I use one test step for all my logins. I need to connect to http://foobar.com

My tests have:

         BaseURL = "http://foobar.com"

and my test lists have this and I now have three custom settings in my Test List, or however many I want.

         BaseURL = "http://foobar.com/ray_x=thing1,ray_y=thing2,ray_z=whatever".

And now, with the code below, I see this in my log when I am running from the test:

'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - Using 'https://foobar.com' as base url.
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: p size = 3
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: p[0]: "https:"
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: p[1]: ""
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: p[2]: "foobar.com"
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: q size = 1
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: realUrl: "https://foobar.com"
'9/9/2019 4:02:24 PM' - LOG: paramstr: ""

And I see this in my log when I am running from my test list:

'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - Using 'http://foobar.com/ray_x=thing1,ray_y=thing2,ray_z=whatever' as base url.
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: p size = 3
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: p[0]: "http:"
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: p[1]: ""
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: p[2]: "foobar.com/ray_x=100,ray_y=200"
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: q size = 2
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: realUrl: "https://foobar.com"
'9/9/2019 4:01:48 PM' - LOG: paramstr: "ray_x=thing1,ray_y=thing2,ray_z=whatever"

And the test and the test list work the same.

If I have paramStr, I split it up by commas and I am done.

And I used the BaseURL and nothing else. :--)

cheers - ray

 

        [CodedStep(@"Navigate to : 'http://foobar.com'")]
        public void MinimalLogin_CodedStep1()
        {
            String baseUrl = ActiveBrowser.Manager.Settings.Web.BaseUrl.ToString();

            String[] sep = { "/" };

            String[] p = baseUrl.Split(sep, 3, StringSplitOptions.None);
            Log.WriteLine("p size = " + p.Length);

            Log.WriteLine("p[0]: \"" + p[0] + "\"");
            Log.WriteLine("p[1]: \"" + p[1] + "\"");
            Log.WriteLine("p[2]: \"" + p[2] + "\"");

            String[] q = p[2].Split(sep, 2, StringSplitOptions.None);
            Log.WriteLine("q size = " + q.Length);

            String realUrl;
            String paramStr;

            if (q.Length == 1) {
                realUrl = p[0] + "//" + p[2];
                paramStr = "";
            }
            else {
                realUrl = p[0] + "//" + q[0];
                paramStr = q[1];
            }
            Log.WriteLine("realUrl: \"" + realUrl + "\""); 
            Log.WriteLine("paramstr: \"" + paramStr + "\"");

            ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(realUrl + "admin.cgi", true);
         }

}

 

ps:So, why do I need to do the split twice? If I knew the insides of th URL structure, I would know. But it works. Done and done.

 

Hi,

I am identifying element using Xpath which is: //a[text()='APPLICATION INDICATOR']/following-sibling::select

I want to data bing 'APPLICATION INDICATOR' with my local data column which named as 'mandatory'.

I tried following tricks but no luck:
//a[text()=$(mandatory)]/following-sibling::select

or
//a[text()=$mandatory]/following-sibling::select

or
//a[text()=mandatory]/following-sibling::select

Please help me to resolve this issue.

We have recently released a new Test Studio documentation. After this release "User Guide" under Test Studio Help tab has some issue with rendering the new documentation. Here is how to fix it:

1. Download and unzip the attached file (UserGuide.zip). It contains two *.reg files. Those add the required registry value to the respective location 32/64 bit systems. It simply tells to Test Studio built-in browser control to use the latest standards for rendering the sites.

2. Double click the file which is for your system (32/64 bit) and click Yes.

3. Restart Test Studio and the new documentation should appear correctly when you hit "User Guide" button under the Help tab.
