Hi ,

I'm trying to automate an Application using testing framework . The app uses SSL ( url contanis HTTPS :P ) and I seem unable to automate it .

Mainly, I'm encountering two problems.

1) While trying to access the site if I have " settings.Web.EnableSilverlight = true;" in my code at the initialization time I keep finding the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." message. I've already added the site as a trusted one and even disabled the SSL warings at a registry level . Even if I try to "Continue to the website" I keep finding the same problem .

2) If Silverlight its disabled at initialization time , I'm able to get to the site and see the app , but if i enable silverlight once there and try to recover the app with "



SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

" (as shown in : "http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/write-tests-in-code/silverlight-test-automation/introduction.aspx") I keep getting a timeout exeption even with very very high timeouts set ("Manager.Settings.Web.SilverlightConnectTimeout= (5000000);")

I've read some limititations in "http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/write-tests-in-code/silverlight-test-automation/introduction.aspx" at the bottom of the page. Are those the limitations for the current release?

Do you have any ideas on how may I proceed or what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Walter Ariel,

I'm sorry you are running into this problem. Running the application under HTTPS is supported with IE only, but you are hitting a known issue with the EnableSilverlight property under HTTPS. This is already fixed and the fix will be included in our next internal build which will be released sometime next week.

If you can't wait that long I can send you a private build, but I have to warn you that private builds have not gone through our normal QA process to insure they work well.

I'm sorry for the caused inconvenience!

Hello Walter Ariel,

I'm glad to hear you are now able to connect to your app. The stable internal build will be released until the end of this week or at the beginning of next.

As for the second problem, please read this article on "Coded Wait for Element". You will find a Silverlight sample near the page bottom. The code is similar to this:

Button btn = Pages.SilverlightGridControl.SilverlightApp.Get<Button>(new XamlFindExpression("Name=docBtn"), true, 10000)

Using this code Test Studio will wait 10 sec for the button to appear.

Hello Walter Ariel,

To overcome this problem you need to change the application Find Strategy. Please try the following code:

SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

//Change the Find Strategy of the application

app.Find.Strategy = FindStrategy.WhenNotVisibleReturnElementProxy;

Button b = app.Find.ByName<Button>("button");

b.Wait.ForExists(60000);

In the above code, the Find object will actually simply return the object proxy that you can then invoke the
Wait on if the element can’t be found immediately.

As part of best practices, you can set back the original strategy in a finally block as seen in this Blog. Here's the code:

SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];

// save the original strategy to set it back at test end

FindStrategy originalStrategy = app.Find.Strategy;

try

{

//Change the Find Strategy of the application

app.Find.Strategy = FindStrategy.WhenNotVisibleReturnElementProxy;

Button b = app.Find.ByName<Button>("button");

b.Wait.ForExists(60000);

}

finally

{

// set back the original find strategy

app.Find.Strategy = originalStrategy;

}

Hope this helps!
