Auto-complete

Hi Nick,

I'm sorry you are running into this problem and thank you for the provided information. I saw your application is publicly accessible, but it seems that I'm not able to navigate to that field using the credentials from the log file.

In order to help you further with this issue, please provide the neccessary steps to access the autocomplete field in the support ticket you already opened, which is confidential, unlike this forum thread. So I can try this myself and see the issue first hand.

Hope to hear from you soon!

I'd love to see an example of how to successfully automate an text input with an autocomplete in code.  I searched the web and couldn't find one.  Is there an example of how to do this anywhere?

Thanks!
Nathan

Hi Nate,

What is the application you are testing? Is it a Silverlight or an HTML application? 

Here's a sample code against this Telerik demo site.
The project is also attached. 

If this is not what you want, please provide more information. The best and fastest way to troubleshoot would be if you could point us to a public website where such field is available.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Best wishes,

  Note : - Can I have successfully working autoComplete sample project.?? We could successfully automate it. but when I RUN that
automated project. It fails when we come to auto Complete component. Simply auto Complete drop down is not loading and give results when we RUN the script..

Hi Sandeepana,

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue against the Autocomplete demo site you provided. Looking the log, you are using a coded step, but I was able to automate the Autocomplete selection even without using a coded step. Could you please provide a copy of your test(in a .zip file) so we can run it locally, see the code and investigate what is happening? 

Kind regards,
Plamen
