My test recently started displaying the Windows Internet Explorer dialog with the message below and see attached... How can I handle this in a coded step if it appears... keep in mind sometimes it doesn't appear.... geez...

Also, the webpage I am refreshing has nothing to do with purchases or buying anything... it's not a shopping site at all....


Message is:

To display the webpage again, the web browser needs to resend the information you've previously submitted.

If you were making a purchase, you should click Cancel to avoid duplicate transaction. Otherwise, click Retry to display the webpage again.

Often when the download dialog is presented while testing a website, sometimes it takes clicking the Save button twice, before it actually proceeds with giving it a name and then downloading the file. When this happens TestStudio hoses since it tried to click the Save button once already but nothing happened... so then it just sits there until it times out and then of course fails the test.

What could be causing this behavior in IE8?? And how can I get TestStudio to work around it?

If the confirm save as dialog comes up, usually when it needs to overwrite an already existing file... it locks up TestStudio and IE8... I'm not sure what is going on here... I had these tests working perfectly, and when we imaged the machine to move it to a VM on our VM servers... weird download issues started occuring...

Is there an issue with TestStudio running on a Virtual Machine, it's Win7 Pro.. and my user is part of the local Administrators group.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I have a test that goes through a series of online reports and exports them one by one via the download dialog. It ran seamless under version 1117, however when I upgraded to 1413, it crashed and burned... it now gets hung on click events and/or download dialogs... I've watched it many times... and yes the download dialog is there, it's just TestStudio can't see or handle it for some reason? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :) 

I have tests that require me to handle file download dialogues, all works fine if I am automating the clicking of Cancel but although the recorder records the click of Save and the destination to save the pdf to, when I replay the test it will not click the Save button on the download dialogue. I have altered settings to uncheck 'close after download' but this doesnt help and only adds more problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

We have reports that we run, and they are put into a queue. In the list of running reports, they can have a status of "Waiting in Queue", "Running Report", "Ready", "Error", etc...

I am wanting to setup a test step that will continue refreshing the queue list web page, count the number of "Waiting in Queue", or "Running Report" and only continue with running additional reports if the count is less than 10.

Does this make sense? And how would I accomplish such a thing in Test Studio?

Thanks in advance!

In FireFox 10:

I have a confirm dialog that pops up asking if I would like to resend information.

Neither the Confirm or OnBeforeUnload dialog handles it properly (Resend does not appear in the list of button labels). This problem occurs in IE as well (Window named: Windows Internet Explorer, button named: Retry) but I have gotten around it with the blind Enter KeyPress.
 
I have attempted to make a Generic dialog handler for it as well as a blind Enter KeyPress, but both have failed.

Suggestions?

Generic dialog failure log:

"Blind" return key press code (which also fails (but works in IE)):

I'm fairly new to Telerik, so bear with me.  I'm wondering if someone can provide some advice on how to best manage the elements feature.  When beginning to build out my test suite, I first went through the target website and created elements for any items that are global or reused on multiple pages and named them with "friendly" names for reference.  However, I'm finding that as I build out my test suite, elements are automatically added using the default name it pulls from the source code.  What I end up with is a bunch of elements with vague/ambiguous names and it's a somewhat arduous task to go through and identify and rename them.  Also it appears that some may be duplicates or at least target various portions of existing elements.  What are the conditions in which an element will be auto generated?  This might help me to understand how to handle. 

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi Guys
in Silverlight application, I would like to use element value from previous screen (Screen 1) in the current screen (Screen 2) see the attachments. The element value from the screen 1 is highlighted in Red. The element in screen 2 highlighted in Red too, the display value of this element in screen 2 depending on the value of screen 1, the value of the element in screen 1 is between 1 - 3 for each value there will be different display value in screen 2. I have tried to make the element in screen 1 as a variable and use it in screen 2, I have add script step and use If..else statement in the scripted statement, but the problem the value of the variable in screen 1 (data driven) not recognised in screen 2.

If you have any idea or example for this situation please let me know

I am evaluating Test Studio for purchase but I've run into a problem.  I am testing a web application running inside Sharepoint 2010.  The app makes extensive use of modal popups using the Sharepoint javascript library [SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(dOpt);] which are actually contained in an iframe.

I can record the test fine, but on playback I get an error when I tray to select or valdiate an element on the popup:

Unable to find the target host (Browser/SilverlightApp) to locate an element. Failure: System.TimeoutException: Wait for condition has timed out
   at ArtOfTest.Common.WaitSync.CheckResult(WaitSync wait, String extraExceptionInfo)

How can I get around this?
