Getting error while identifying a Frame

Hi Dipali,
are you attempting to use this syntax:
<partial url>?mode=<static string>&ID=<dynamic number>
in Test Studio? If you are - it won't work. Test Studio will, unfortunately, not recognize this syntax.

Instead you can use the tilt character '~' to indicate a partial URL. From there you have to come up with a good way to isolate the dynamic parts of the src while at the same time still making sure the Find Logic stays unique. Check out the following article:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/recording-tests/frames.aspx

This approach is detailed near the bottom of the article.

Hi Stoich,

Sorry for the confusion I created. I am not using this <partial url>?mode=<static string>&ID=<dynamic number> as syntax.

As I cannot disclose the url and query string for my application I had represented in the above format. I am already using the settings mentioned in the article given by you.

In my case frame do not have any id. I have below settings done for frame identification.  These are not real urls; mentioning it for understanding purpose.

BaseUrl: ~string1/string2.aspx

Index: 0

Query: abc=xyz&Id=123

Src: ~string1/string2.aspx

UseQuery: True

FriendlyName: ~MyFrame

UseBaseUrlHost: False

** Id and Name property is not set as this is not defined HTML of the page and does not getting set while recording.

123 is a dynamic number which is changing each time I execute the test. Is there a way to specify partial query string?

I tried using ‘*’ instead of ‘123’ but it’s not working.

I hope the data is clear to you now. Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,

-Dipali.

Hi,
I think, I have provided adequate explanation about the problem I am facing. Plesae le me know if you guys need more explanation or any data for the same.

Thanks,

Hello Dipali,

thank you for providing so much details on this. Unfortunately there's just no way to define a partial Query String. You can either choose to take the entire Query into account or choose not to. 

So, unfortunately it would seem that the solution in this instance would be for you to speak to your developers and try to get IDs or Name or some other way to making the Frames unique so that Test Studio may identify them.

We can create a Feature Request for the ability to use RegEx (or something similar) to define the Query String or just to be able use a partial Query. Let me know if this is a course of action you wish to purse.
