WinRunner Problems

User of Switch or Loop

Use switch or loop?

Yeah, which really sucks when you have global variables being set by your
startup script... :)

Reading values from property grid

I did some playing around today, because I'm doing similar stuff.

If what you are trying to do is programmatically ask WinRunner to tell you,

for instance, what the X and Y coordinates are, use obj_get_info() or
win_get_info(). If you want to get all of them at once, use obj_get_desc()
and win_get_desc(). For the latter, what are the properties you pass in?
Whatever it is you want to know... What I did was this: I made a list of
all the available properties for the "object" class, (see GUI map
 configuration) and then used get_record_attr() to get a list of anything
that might be non-standard for that object which is part of the learned
properties. Made the whole thing 'obligatory' and then passed that to
win_get_desc. So long as you don't ask for the "parent" property when
calling win_get_desc(), it works great!

Whether or not that will work for you depends entirely on what you are
trying to accomplish. :)

web_image_click problem

Here's one way...create a loop. In that loop, build the physical

description for the link (but use a regular _expression for the file name),
and increment the location from 0 until you get one where a test of
obj_exists() or web_obj_exists() comes back as something other than E_OK.

But whether or not that is appropriate really depends on what you mean by
"test all the links."

Every day i need to select deifferent 15 items until the whole list is completed

I would suggest looking up "Pairs Testing" or "Pairs combination".

There is a Pairs utility at www.satisfice.com to help you figure out a
subset of what you want to test that will still provide some measure of
security knowing you have tested a good majority of your application.

Subject: Re: [winrunner] Every day i need to select deifferent 15 items
until the whole list is completed

Oh, geez. Well, all possible combinations of 15 total selections, or a

certain amount in one and a certain amount in the other? And are there
valid and invalid test cases? Are there equivalence classes you can cut

out?

Let's do the math. Assuming that the test is to select between 1 and 15

items, until all possible combinations have been tested:

23+180 = 203.

There are 203 test cases with only selecting one.

For selecting two, there are 203 * 202 = 41006
For 3, 203 * 202 * 201 = 8242206
for 4, ...* 200 = 1648441200
for 5, ...* 199 = 328039798800
for 6, ...* 198 = 64951880162400
for 7, ...* 197 = 12795520391992800
for 8, ...* 196 = 2507921996830588800
for 9, ...* 195 = 489044789381964816000
for 10, ... * 194 = 94874689140101174304000
for 11, ... * 193 = 18310815004039526640672000
for 12, ... * 192 = 3515676480775589115009024000
for 13, ... * 191 = 671494207828137520966723584000
for 14, ... * 190 = 1.2758389948734612898367748096e+32
for 15, ... * 189 = 2.411335700310841837791504390144e+34

Now, if you ONLY did combinations of EXACTLY 15, and if it were possible
to
do ONE FULL TEST at the rate of one per second, it would take you:

764,629,534,598,820,978,498,067,094.79452 YEARS!!!

I don't think the SUN will last that long, let alone the release cycle
on
whatever software you are testing... :)

If they want EVERY combination between 1 and 15, you have to add the
times
up...

So, No...you are NOT going to do every combination. Period. It's not
going
to happen. Go back to whoever wrote the requirements and ask for
clarification of what they need. Also, you might calculate how long it
takes, on average, to do a transaction, and based on the final ship
date, or
the build drop schedule, calculate how many tests you can do in a cycle,
and
make them adjust their requirements to fit the available time.

gui checklist errors

Check file permissions. Make sure the exp folder is not read-only. Make
sure the folder that the script lives in (meaning the file "script" is also
read/write), as is the folder that the results go in (like "debug" if you
are running in debug mode).

Also, are you running from TestDirector? Are you running in Batch mode?
Both of these change where the results will be written to...

Reading values from property grid

Which property grid? GUI spy? You want to read them programmatically? You
can't run TSL and have the GUI spy open at the same time, so no...

If you just want the info, there is a little "copy" button at the bottom
that generates the following, for example.
{displayed: 1,width: 623,x: 0,y: 37,abs_x: 0,class: window,MSW_class:
MS_WINHELP,abs_y: 37,maximizable: 1,focused: 0,height: 667,module_name:
"M:\\WINNT\\winhlp32.exe",active: 0,MSW_id: "-1596140352",handle:
5505208,minimizable: 1,owner: "winhlp32.exe",nchildren: 20,label: "TSL
Online Reference",enabled: 1,TOOLKIT_class: MS_WINHELP}

If you want code that can parse that into an array, cut and paste the
following (but make them public)

---------- BEGIN ----------

static const WHITESPACE = "[ \t\r\n]*";

static const IDENTIFIER = "[^\.\,\:\{\}\ ]*";

Increment String Value

Your right I didn't think about two numbers in the file name, but probably
would have found it while debuging the code :).

So if blah="abc01_user001", what will you get?

Always good not to assume too much about the data you are working with.

Regular expression on windows label....

use this form:

Hope this works... :)

How to Fail a Called Script???

There are many options for this...

1. have the called test use "treturn <value>;" to signal pass/fail, as was
already suggested
2. have the called test bail out completely on failure using "texit;"
3. test all return codes and put if conditions around everything (very
invasive, harder to read the code)
4. have a TSL exception handler that sets a flag, or even causes test
execution to stop.

Whether you can use option 2 or similar depends on whether there is anything
you want your 'main' script to do after executing (or skipping) all the
tests in the "set".

Object is not currectly displayed.

Hi,
I believed that issue was already solved last week. As my QA Leader's
per request, I need to generate 50 Stakeholders for each Organization.
So I ran same script o make sure it works purposely before start to
generate 50 persons. I'm facing new problem again. Please read information
as follows:

WR cannot find an object from beginning. So run wizard and error

message pops up all the time like: Object is not currently displayed. For
instance: marked as read color

GUI_close_all();
GUI_load("C:\\Program Files\\Mercury
Interactive\\WinRunner\\tmp\\AddST\\AddST.gui"); # acctually load gui file properly.
web_browser_invoke(IE,"http://66.207.34.249:8080/ecm");
set_window("Exigen Customer Management",147); # Run Wizard pops up and
ask for learn it.
edit_set("login","julieSA"); # login name: "guestsa" is replaced during
run script
edit_set("psw","julieSA");# psw name: "guestsa" is replaced during run
script
button_press("Submit");# message pops up: "Object is not currectly
displayed".
web_sync(10);
web_link_click("Customer");# message pops up: "Object is not currectly
displayed".
web_sync(2);
web_link_click("Stakeholder");# message pops up: "Object is not
currectly displayed". So on......
web_sync(5);
table = "AddST.xls";
rc = ddt_open(table, DDT_MODE_READ);
if (rc!= E_OK && rc != E_FILE_OPEN)
pause("Cannot open table.");
ddt_get_row_count(table,table_RowCount);
for(table_Row = 1; table_Row <= table_RowCount; table_Row ++)
{

button_press("Add New Stakeholder");

ddt_set_row(table,table_Row);
web_set_run_event_mode(TRUE);
list_select_item("ten",ddt_val(table,"ten"));
web_set_run_event_mode(FALSE);
web_sync(5);
edit_set("fname",ddt_val(table,"fname"));
edit_set("lname",ddt_val(table,"lname"));
edit_set("full",ddt_val(table,"full"));
edit_set("dob",ddt_val(table,"dob"));
web_sync(5);
web_set_run_event_mode(TRUE);
list_select_item("cons_type",ddt_val(table,"cons_type"));
web_set_run_event_mode(FALSE);
web_sync(5);
web_set_run_event_mode(TRUE);
button_press("Save Changes");
web_set_run_event_mode(FALSE);
web_sync(4);
button_press("Add New Stakeholder");

}
ddt_close(table);

However, if executed whole script step by step (using keyboard F6). It

works perfect. No an error message popping up. It’s weird. I really
have no idea how does WR treat it in different way. Does anyone workaround
it. Please help me to figure out. Earlier reply would be highly
appreciated.

Thank you, D

problem with Listbox having Check box .

Solution: Specify the optional "offset" parameter. Make it enough pixels

so that it clicks right in the middle of the checkbox.

Hopefully you won't have issues querying the checked state of the list item.
I once went round and round with MI trying to get support for a standard

GUI object are not idetified.........

I had also faced similar problem once ...but because of

incompatibility of browser with winrunner
....i have winrunner 7.0 installed on my system and it does not support
IE6.0 ..so i had to uninstall and install IE5.5 ...it started
working....

---So in these cases incompatibility of browser verison with winrunner

version may be one of the reason.

I had a similar problem, but for IE. I called M-I support about it
and they had me register a dll (in the arch folder). No doubt NS
would require different dll's, so I can't tell you what to do, but
you should probably contact M-I support and ask them.

How to force "win_get_text" to capture full 2048 chars?

.
Thank you for your help, Subramaniyan!

Forgive me, but do you know of a specific

KnowledgeBase Problem ID that addresses this issue? I
tried some searches on "Increase the Text length" and
on "win_get_text", and the closest I could find is the
following:

"Problem ID 14577
How to copy text to and read text from the clipboard
Sometimes WinRunner's standard text functions,
obj_get_text and win_get_text, cannot capture all the
text the user needs. If the user copies the text to
the system clipboard, then all the text can be
captured....".

(This CTRL-C to the clipboard approach won't work for

me, though...because it still requires line-by-line
text capture plus concatenation.)
 BTW, my WinRunner General Options/ Text Recognition"
CheckBox is set to OFF for "Use Image Text Recognition
Option".

Thanks again for any advice!

Using the GUI Maps...

Hi vinai,

I think the best approach to learn the objects is

(1) Set to Global GUI mode
(2) Use the GUI map editor and learn objects present in all ur
application screens even popup error screens. Then u save that gui .
(3) Put GUI_load in ur startup script and use that for all ur test sets.

With regards,

How to trap VB/Java run time Script errors in Web pages?

use
win_get_text(Window_name, var_in_which_the_text_is_stored)
sys_msg(var_in_which_the_text_is_stored);

(Take the exact one from winr)

hope this helps

Web browser Invoke

The web_browser_invoke function is like this

public function web_browser_invoke(browser_type,site)

{
auto browser_path,rc;

rc=GetBrowserPath(browser_type,browser_path);
if (rc==0)
return E_GENERAL_ERROR;
invoke_application(browser_path,site,"",SW_SHOW);
return (E_OK);
}

so you can use

 invoke_application("NETSCAPE PATH",site,"",SW_SHOW);

as a workaround?

Group,

web_browser_invoke(IE,"http://www.google.com");
invokes internet explorer.

But

web_browser_invoke(NETSCAPE,"http://www.google.com");
doesn't invoke Netscape.

I feel some patches to be installed. Is it right? But

there no information about this in the documents.
Please let me know what should done for this.

Regards,
Rajkumar.

Web browser Invoke

Hi.

It depends on the version of Netscape you have installed. Netscape is used

to invoke version 4, Netscape6 is to invoke version 6.
