Coded UI test fails to close browser due to window title

Hi. I am using Visual Studio 2012.
At the end of my test, I wish to close the browser (IE), but I am having issues because my application version is displayed in the Tab of the browser and this changes with every build. When the test runs, the application cannot find the window because
of the Title. Is there a way to ignore the title and close the browser?
The message in the stack trace is: Unable to find Windows Internet Explorer window with "my app version - Internet Explorer' in the title. -->Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestControlNot FoundException: The playback failed to
find the control with the given search properties. Additional Details:
TechnologyName: 'MSAA;
ControlType: 'Window'
Name: 'myapp 1.0.12344.0 - Internet Explorer'

Hi A Tester,
Since the coded UI tests use the search properties to find a control/window, so the real issue is that it couldn't find the control when your search property is dynamic. So one possible way, you could use other unique property as the search property.
About how coded UI test find a control:

Pavilion G6-1203ey: Hard Disk Test FAILED, but can still boot into Windows

Hello
I have HP Pavilion G6-1203ey laptop. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64 bit) and some drivers on it and after several restarts, it hanged at Windows logo and I had to turn it off with power button. Then after turning it on, it gave me the option to repair problems which are preventing it from starting up, from there I let it to restore the computer to an earlier restore point and after a restart the Windows was working again. After that I decided to do a hard disk check just in case.
The Hard Disk Self Test ended up with a message: Hard Disk 1 Full (305). Then I installed HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment and did hard disk from there. I chose the comprehensive test from the options, but it finished fairly quickly (in ~1 minute) with the following output:
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check : PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K-60S003
PRODUCT ID : A5Q15EA#B1R
Hard Disk 1
Hard Disk Test : FAILED
A bit more background:
The previous owner told me that the original HDD was faulty which is why he replaced it with this one last year. He said that other than that there has been no problems with the laptop. The Windows is working right now and this HDD is quite new so I would not have expected any problems with it, but the results from the previously mentioned tests seem troubling. Is there a reason to worry?
Thanks

Hi Alnuir,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I read your post and looked into the failure ID that you posted regarding the failed Short DST test. That error is indicating a hard disk failure meaning that if it hasn't failed it might soon. If everything is working I would considering backing up your data on a regular basis just to be safe. You could have a local technician take a look at the hard drive to see how close it is to full failure.

Linux Load test Fails to start agent due to authentication errors

I have a brand-new install of 12.2.0.1.223 on a Linux machine.
After the install I
1) Created a user in the administrator application with the name of my Linux login and granted full permission to that user
2) Logged in to the load testing tool as that user
3) Imported an open script zip file (which just has a simple single GET URL call)
4) Added that to a new scenario
5) Attempted to run the test.
When running the test, after 90 seconds it fails saying that there is an Error communicating with the Oracle Load Testing Agent Manager on oats-am://localhost:9001: Timed out after 90 seconds
The AgentManager is running on localhost. But from the agentmanager_auth.log I see that the oats-agent user wasn't able to start the actual agent:
2012-12-06 16:38:31,951 WARN [URL:t3://adc2201760.us.oracle.com:8088;Requestor Username: oats-agent;Requestor Key:71ec0e9e-ea8f-4f25-bd48-e6b6e0a15e62;Requestor Queue:oracle/oats/queue/AgentPoolNotificationQueue;Request ID:11;Request:startagent;] - authentication failed
I haven't done anything with passwords other than specify the password on install. I did go into the WebLogic console as user oats and make sure that the user oats-agent is in the security realm and put in the same password that I used for the install. In the load testing tool, I also looked into setting the password for VU Agent Systems; there is of course one defined there for OLT Server/Localhost , though the user is JMSAdmin and the port is 9001 so I don't think will help with that the the oats-agent connecting via t3 to port 8088. If there is some place else to verify the oats-agent password in the load testing tool, I didn't see it.
How to I get the oats-agent user the correct credentials?

Hello
Try to use OLT Agent Authentication Manager: <oats_install>/jdk/jre/bin/javaw -jar <oats_install>/agentmanager/AMAuthManager.jar

In visual studio 2012 coded Ui test is not entering the URL

Hi,
When i try to run the recorded script it is opening the new tab but it is not entering the new URL in to tab. It is showing test has failed due to some stack trace error. I am new to coded UI test am learning it. Is it timing error i need to place some sleep
time in between them?
Thanks

Hi Prasanth,
Generally, the coded UI test is used to verify that the whole application, including its user interface, is functioning correctly. Coded UI Tests are particularly useful where there is validation or other logic in the user interface, for example in a web
page. They are also frequently used to automate an existing manual test.
In other words, we can use coded UI test to verify the UI control instead of verifying the URL.
For more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286726(v=vs.110).aspx
However, if you want to record script it is opening the new tab and then entering the new URL in to tab, I suggest you can use the Web Performance test to record and verify the request works correctly.

Connectivity Test Failed

Hi, I recently installed Lync 2013 with Edge server in DMZ. I have rather annoying problem. I bought godaddy UCC cert. installed it on edge server (external cert).
The problem is that when I try to test connectivity (https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/) for one user it passes and for the other 2 fails with error . So I don't change configuration at all, just user that is defined in AD (Users exist)
Testing remote connectivity to Microsoft Lync server through the Lync Access Edge server sip.domain.com on port 5061 to verify user [email protected] can connect remotely.
Specified remote connectivity test(s) to Microsoft Lync server failed. See details below for specific failure reasons.

Firefox 3.6.3 fails to close completely, leaving an open instance in Task Manager.

Firefox 3.6.3 fails to close itself, leaving an open instance in Task Manager of Windows 7 x64 each time the browser is closed. The instance needs to be closed manually in order to successfully start new browser session. This seems to happen in OEM version of Windows 77. There are no issues with a retail version of the OS. The problem started with a fresh, new install of Windows 7 with no other software installed.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since the fresh installation of Windows 7 x64 OEM.

Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Getting hang/crash problem when I try to close browser window from applet

I have a small Apllet that has a button that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.
The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window. First time I start my application and load that Applet the button works fine. It calls the Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I open the applet window again and click on the button to close the windows, it hangs. I put in trace statements and saw that it hangs on JSObject.getWindow() window.
I am using JDK Plugin 1.4.2_07 and 5.0 , if I work out on IE browser, it works fine.But when I use firefox or mozilla it gives problem of hanging/crashing.
Note that in case of 1.4.2_07 this problem experienced some times but in case of 5.0 it gives always for other than IE browser.
Please, if somebody could give me some clue about why this would happen, I will really appreciate that. and code related to this is given below
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
protected JButton closeButton = null;
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
this.closeButton = new JButton("Close Browser Window");
this.add(this.closeButton);
this.closeButton.addActionListener(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
alreadyClosed = true;
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
stop();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
frame.dispose();
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thanks.

I am waiting for any reply. I have tried for all these below options still I am getting Problem. I heard this is because of javascript, it wont call methods more times .Thats
why I need other than JSObject or java script solution.If some one know anything about this or any modifications I have to made for the below options to avoid that problem please let me know.
// URL durl = new URL(thisObject.getCodeBase(), "test/CloseMe.htm");
// System.out.println("URL :" + durl.toString());
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(durl);
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.close();"), "_self");
//win.eval("top.opener=self;top.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
//Object[] args = { "close", new Integer(50) };
// win.call("setTimeout", args);
//win.eval("setTimeout("close", new Integer(50));");
If it is the problem of JRE I just need it should work on 1.4.2_01 or higher.
thanks.

Hi kaki2000,
>>Please note that we get this error if we have 10 tests failing with a timeout issue previously.
Which VS IDE did you use, VS2010 or high version?
Do you run your coded UI tests in VS IDE or you add them to a load test? If you run your coded UI tests one by one in VS IDE, how about the result?
>>The Coded UI Test is running in Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode of COM. In this mode, all the playback calls should happen from the TestMethod thread only and UITestControl should not be shared across TestMethods..
After a test method is finished, please call the clean playback. Then the later test method can reload UIMap and find exactly one on testing.

[WPSL]Windows App Certification Kit Test Fails, binary is built in debug mode

Hi,
Windows phone 8.1 App fails Windows App Certification Kit test (WACK Test).
It is producing below error in Debug configuration test,
The debug configuration test detected the following errors:
1)The binary Phone.Controls.dll is built in debug mode.
Impact if not fixed: Windows Phone Store doesn’t allow a debug version of an app.
How to fix: Please make sure the app isn't linking to any debug versions of a framework and it is built with the release configuration
And i got a solution like,
Universal Apps (And Silverlight 8.1 Apps) have a different certification requirement. You cannot publish assemblies built in debug mode.
You'll need to contact the NuGet authors of ICSharpCode and ImageTools and have them provide you with a version built in release mode.
How to proceed with this solution. I'm very help full if any solution provided.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit.

Hi Franklin,
Thanks for your replay. I created my package in 'Release' mode only.
Actually my project in windows phone 7.1 and i upgraded it to windows phone 8.1. In "Release" mode i created my build, but i'm having this error in WACK(Windows
App Certification Kit) test.
I'm able to run my App in windows phone 8.1, but if i submit it to store then will be rejected definitely.
The debug configuration test detected the following errors:
1)The binary Phone.Controls.dll is built in debug mode.
The WACK test fails in debug configuration test, for "Phone.Controls.dll "
it is built in debug mode.
There should be a solution like, how to convert .dll to release mode.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
Ranjit.
Hi ranjit,
>>Actually my project in windows phone 7.1 and i upgraded it to windows phone 8.1
Okay, this may be due to the upgrading process, could you tell us what the detailed version of your Visual Studio is(for example: Visual Studio 2013 Update 4)?
You may need to create a new Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight project and try to upload it to Store, if this problem can be resolved, I think this should be related to the upgrading process, you may need to start from scratch by recreating a WP8.1 SL project.
To exclude environment facts, I would also suggest you retesting it on a new machine with the latest IDE.

Coded UI Test now gets error about Newtonsoft.json not being found

I have a simple coded ui test to log into an application. The test is data driven and uses data from TFS. We are using a TfsTestAgent user (that has admin privs) that is on both the server and the agent systems. When I execute the test, I see the following
error:

The interesting thing is that Newtonsoft.Json (aka Json.Net) isn't used in the project at all or any referenced libraries. From the above log, it appears to me that this is outside of the coded UI test since it isn't registered as a script exception.
The question then is, why did this start after changing the user that the Coded UI system runs tests under? I have tried reverting it back to the original user via a snapshot (and change the host environment in Test Manager). Doing so gives me the same result
above.
I'm looking for any ways to debug this further or ideas for fixes. I have tried the following as failed fixes:
including Newtonsoft.Json in the solution
copy over the library to c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
revert to a known working build and run it (still get same error)
Big thing to note is that last item. I had builds that I know worked and worked on multiple machines. Using those builds on any machine produces the same result. What could cause that error message and be machine/test code independent?

Hi JasonUnrein,
>> Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Based on the error message and your description, I assume that the issue might be caused by your application instead of the Coded UI test. Were the project which you test a Web Api project? If so, I would recommend you log into the application directly without
the Coded UI project to check whether the application could work correctly. The link below might be useful to you:

>> Big thing to note is that last item. I had builds that I know worked and worked on multiple machines. Using those builds on any machine produces the same result.
In my option, I will recommend you create a new web project and a new Coded UI test project to test instead of using the original project.
If I misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

MSTest Coded UI Test Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting

Hi,
I have created some Coded UI Tests in a Test Project using Visual Studio Premium 2013 (Version 12.0.30723.00 Update 3).
Those Coded UI tests run just fine when I run them from inside Visual Studio (Go to Test Explorer and hit Run).
However If I try to run them using MSTest.exe or VSTest.Console.exe I am not able to.

instalation that may be causing this problem.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks!

Hi Edward
>> Do you mean that Coded UI tests run fine in VS, but failed with MSTest?
Yes, that is exactly the case!
>>Before you run with MSTest, have you changed the Coded UI project?
No. In Visual Studio I can run the Coded UITests by going to Text Explorer and click the run button. Without changing anything else, if I try to run them in using mstest or vstest.console I am not able to
>>Did you change the project after you run in vs?
No. The project did not change at all
>> Could you share us the MSTest command?
I run the commands in "Developer Command Prompt fro VS2012". the commands are:

The selected platform is AnyCPU
>>Was your UITesting in another dll? If so, you could refer the link below:
The tests are all in the CodedUITests dll. All tests were created inside a test project (called CodedUITests, they run ok if I execute them in VS but the show the abouve error if I run them using the Developer Command Prompt for VS2012).
I didn´t mention this before but I DO NOT have test controller and test agents installed in my PC! I just have Visual Studio installed (not 100% sure if I need the agent to run the UI Tests in the same PC where I have VS installed).
I hope this information may be usefull,

PS:
I just try to create a very simple UI Test in another PC where I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate (Versio12.0.30723.00 Update 3).
Using VS I created a new Solution with just 1 project (Coded UI Test Project) and recorded a very simple test (on IE and at the google page search for Coded UI Test and hit the search button).
After compiling the Coded UI Test project in VS I can see the test in Test Explorer and If I run the test it all goes ok.
Using the Developer Command Prompt for VS2012 if I navigate the the "Debug" folder of my project none of the following scripts will work:
mstest /testcontainer:CodedUITestProject1.dll
vstest.console CodedUITestProject1.dll
I get the same error that I show in the bigining of this post.

Error whil re-playing the coded ui test cases for internet explorer download window

Hi,
I have to create a test automation project which opens the IE and downloads file.
I have recorded all the steps to download the file to local folder.
My requirement is I need to download the file to a specific folder and compare those files.
When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
I can change the file name dynamically but cant change the folder path as the click event of address bar fails.
I have recorded below steps
Click on Save drop down
Click on Save As
Pop up opens as shown
I can change the file name at run tims by passing the file name as parameter and it is accepting
but when I try to change the address it thorws error stating could not find the control with given search properties. I have to pass the folder path as parameter to the test case.
Please help me in resolving this error.
Thanks,

Hi Meenakshi Nagpal,
>>When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
According to your description, could you please tell me how you record these UI actions for coded UI test? Is it handing code or using coded UI test Builder?
Could you please tell me if you are recording these actions and then you change the folder location or you change the folder location by handing code after you finished these actions recording and then get the error?
About your issue, I tried to download file to a specific folder using coded UI test builder, I found that it can playback successfully.
If you are hand coding your coded UI test, I suggest that you can try to record these steps using Coded UI Test Builder. Then
generate the code and then try to playback check if you can download the file into the
specific folder.
In addition, about this error: could not find the control with given search properties. I doubt that the target control did not be found by the searchproperties.
So I suggest you can try to add more searchproperties for the target control check this issue again.
I suggest you can also use DrawHighlight Method to check if the correct control is found
before you perform actions on the target control.
I find a blog about how to troubleshooting Record and Playback issues in Coded UI Test, you can refer it.
