Codedui & Selenium issues

VS2013 update 4, Firefox browser34.05, Chrome browser 39.0, IE11, Win8.1, .net framework 4.5
MS Cross browser testing setup for Selenium_dotnet 2.4, Chrome driver 2.10,
Components copied to VSTT folder,
Running the following:
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = "firefox";
BrowserWindow.Launch("http://www.google.com");
Errors out with: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' (Firefox error)
Simple code, horrid problem. Any solution to this?

Hi keithlawrence,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this is related to the Extensions tool Selenium
components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing,
so if possible, I suggest you post this issue
here,
click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this
issue there, you would get dedicated support.
In addition, I found that you install the version of
Firefox browser34.05 and Chrome browser 39.0 is different with
the
Supported Browser versions in the Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing:
The following versions of browsers have been verified and are supported:
Firefox 33 and Latest version of Chrome (version 38.0.2125.111 m as of 11/14/2014).
So I suggest you can try to install the version of Firefox and Chrom according the
Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing and then check this issue again.
If you still get the error, I suggest you can ask the issue as I pervious mentioned to Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing.
Thanks for your understanding.

Issue with HtmlUnit Driver by using oracle extended selenium webdriver

Hi,
I need to run test case in silent mode i.e. silent playback.Thus, using HTMLUnit Web Driver which is available in oracle extended selenium binaries.
The recorded files works fine with firefox driver but when i converted my code to html unit driver, it failed to find link inside ADFTable of my fusion web application.
Is htmlunit driver which is in oracle extended selenium files compatible with ADF Application???
Is there any other approach for silent playback of ADF Application test cases other than headless and VM.
Please guide on this issue.
Regards,
Meera

*## After running csscan and csalter*
Did you really run csalter.plb? csalter.plb should not be run before a full-export A-to-B type of migration. On the other hand, if there were convertible data in the database, csalter.plb should have just reported an error and terminate without changing anything.
*## "[Oracle][ODBC]Syntax error or access violation"*
This error does not say much. Why do you think ODBC does no conversion?
The conversion for the ODBC driver is performed by OCI to/from UTF-16 and it is independent of the NLS_LANG character set. If the C++ application is written in the ANSI mode (does not use wide character data types), Microsoft ODBC Manager will convert between the application and the Oracle ODBC driver, between system code page (Cp 1252) and UTF-16.

Issue with CodedUI playback

Hi,
I was using codedUI within watIN automation. When I run this automation I am getting the below error once codedUI code is hit.
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Playback, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I have referenced all required dlls to my knowledge.
Looking out for help on this.
Thanks,
Kranthi.

Hi Kranthi,
>>"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Playback, Version=10.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
According to the error message, to further help you solve the issue, please provide me more detailed message.
For example:
(1)Could you please tell me what version of VS you use to run coded UI test?
(2) Please you provide me all the dlls you referenced in the coded UI test like the following screen shot.
(3)Could you please tell me when you playback what action for your coded UI test and then you get the exception error?
In addition, I suggest you can try to add the
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Playback.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ and then check your issue again.
If the suggestion could not help you, I suggest you can provide me the sample so that we will be better support the issue.

Selenium no longer working with upgrade of Firefox 22

I just upgraded to Firefox 22 from 21 now all of my Selenium tests are breaking. Is anyone else having this issue and do you know how to fix it? Thanks
Here is the error I am getting:
[error] Unexpected Exception: fileName -> chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium-core/scripts/htmlutils.js, lineNumber -> 309, columnNumber -> 8
These test were running great before the upgrade.

All,
3Dee here again. I was able to solve my problem by upgrading my Selenium. Fixes were made to Selenium to support FF 22.
Thanks to all who made the fixes!

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding.

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
Thanks so much

Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

Firefox Selenium Remote Control window does not close.

Using Selenium 2.17 and/or Selenium 2.26 on Windows 7 we are having a problem with the Firefox Selenium RC (Remote Control) window not closing after the Selenium tests have completed.
We did not have any issues when using Firefox 10.0.1esr, but when we upgraded to 10.0.10esr the problem showed up.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? Our company requires us to be at the latest ESR release so going back to 10.0.1esr is not an option.
Any plans to resolve this problem in another ESR release?
Thanks,
Karl

Not possible to run CodedUI tests on Windows 7 embedded

Hi all,
I am trying to get my CodedUI tests running on the target machine with Windows 7 Embedded.
For that, I installed on the target machine:
Visual Studio 2010 Test Agent
VS2010 SP1
Next I try to run the CodedUI test from the command line using mstest.exe (since no Visual Studio may be installed on target
machine). However, before even executing the first line of code in my test, mstest fails after showing a popup window with following message:
"the ordinal 459 could not be located in the dynamic link library urlmon.dll"
When looking in the detailed logs of QTAgent32.exe I see a 'System.BadImageFormatException' thrown by the PluginManager of CodedUI when trying to
start an Internet Explorer plugin. See detailed stacktrace below this message.
This might be caused by the fact that this Windows Embedded installation does not contain Internet Explorer (for security reasons). The CodedUI test
and application under test however do not need Internet Explorer at all, the application is a WPF application.
So, my questions:
- Does anyone know how to get rid of this error without installing Internet Explorer?
- Any ways to prevent MsTest.exe to start the IE extension for a CodedUI test?
Some things I tried already but did not bring success:
- Run a completely empty CodedUI test; it triggers the same error.
- Remove IE extensions from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSTT\10.0
- Remove unneeded things (datacollectors) from MsTestSettings file.
Any help/ideas appreciated!

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your response:)
I think it is a good feedback for this issue, but as far I know, it is by design now, we need to use the IE extension for test projects. My understanding is that it would find the accordant UI Test Controls with your app UI controls, so it would search all
test controls include the IE controls, and then use one real UITestControl to instantiate an object which is equal to the real UI control, so we could playback the recorded action.
WinButton uICloseButton = this.UISnippingToolWindow.UISnippingToolTitleBar.UICloseButton;
But I think you can submit this feedback to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx,maybe
Microsoft engineers will share us a more plausible explanation.
Thanks for your understanding.

Jack

Cross Domain Connection Issues with Test Controller

I am having trouble resolving a problem I have connecting a build agent with the test controller in a cross domain environment. I have purged out the actual machine names, domain names, and IP addresses just in case that is a security concern.
Situation is this:
All machines are running Visual Studio 2013
Test controller/agents are on Windows Server 2012 R2
Test controller is installed as stand-alone in order to be able to do load testing, as well as API and CodedUI.
Build definition in TFS kicks off the automation using testsettings file to point to build controller
Application under test uses resources in the ABC.XYZ domain. Test agents need to be in ABC.XYZ in order to test application E2E.
TFS is in Main.corp.company.com domain.
Test controller is a dual-homed box in corp.company.com and ABC.XYZ domains. It are accessible from Main using the corp.company.com NIC.
All our dual homed boxes are set up this way. Dual homed with Main and ABC directly is considered a security violation.
From the dual homed box, logged in with my ABC credentials, I can access TFS in Main using my Main credentials.
Manually, I can successfully kick off a test run from a command line from a VM in ABC.
Build controller and build agents are in Main.corp.company.com.
Build controller can successfully connect to build agent, and build agent successfully builds the automation.
Build agent fails to connect to build controller:
Failed to queue test run 'buildagent@MachineOne 2014-08-12 12:35:34_Any CPU_Debug': No such host is known
I can ping the build controller from the test agent, and I can successfully query port 6901:
Querying target system called:
testcontroller.corp.company.com
Attempting to resolve name to IP address...
Name resolved to 10.10.10.111
TCP port 6901 (unknown service): LISTENING
Firewall is turned off on the test controller. Even if it wasn’t, the relevant rules allowing port 6901 and File and Printer Sharing are created.
Local Security Policy | Security Options | Network access: Sharing & security model = classic
NETBIOS names of the test agents and build agent are set in the test controller’s hosts file (they were pingable without this anyway)
NETBIOS name of the test controller is set in the test agent’s hosts file (it was pingable without this anyway)
Tried both simple NETBIOS name and FSDN for test controller in testsettings file
Considering installing a build agent on the same machine as the test controller, but suspect that would just move my communication problem to build controller : build agent
Considering moving test controller to Main and making the four test agents dual-homed, but there is a concern to limit the number of dual-homed boxes, and also suspect that would again just move the communication problem.
I can use netstat to verify that the service is listening to port 6901 on both NICs:
TCP 0.0.0.0:6901 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 6536
TCP [::]:6901 [::]:0 LISTENING
6536
(PID 6536 is the QTController.exe)
However the VSTTController.log only mentions listening to the ABC NIC. Since the connection to the ABC test agents works, that makes sense.
When I open the testsettings file on my laptop in the Main domain and examine the server name, there is a warning that the host cannot be found. When I open it on a VM in the ABC domain I am able to manage the test controller and view all the test
agents. However, if I try to restart the build controller I get an access denied error. Not sure if that is related in some way.
I am using a ABC domain service account to run the test agent sevice. There is a Main domain service account running the build. Both service accounts are administrators on the test controller and in the TeatTestControllerAdmins and TeatTestControllerUsers
groups. The test agent service account is also in the TeamTestAgentService group.
I tried to create a port proxy to forward requests from the Main facing NIC to the port on the ABC facing NIC:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=6901 listenaddress=10.10.10.111 connectport=6901 connectaddress=10.20.20.222
This almost worked. I could see with netstat commands that the port was opened and a connection was established with the build agent, however after a long wait it hit an error that it couldn’t find the ABC NIC:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 10.20.20.222:6901
So apparently the ABC IP is getting forwarded back to the test agent, which then of course can’t use it.
I am running out of ideas to try. Not sure where the problem is:
Cross-domain issue between Main.corp.company.com and corp.company.com? Or,
Problem with the test controller not being able to listen on more than one NIC?
I know I am not the first person to try to set up something cross domain. Most of the troubleshooting suggestions I have been able to bing have been about fixing connections between test controller and test agents, which isn’t the problem here.
Is this set up just so far from standard that VS can’t handle it?
Thanks in advance,
Gary

Just to make this issue clearly, you mean that it is not the Test Controller and Test Agent issue, am I right?
As you said that it is related to the Build controller and build Agent, am I right?
If it is related to the Build Controller and Build Agent, I suggest you post this issue to the TFS forum, there you would get dedicated support.

What are the IEDriver version requirements for using Microsoft Webdriver tool with a selenium based test tool?

Hi,
We are using IEDriver 2.44.0 with microsoft webdriver tool Windows7-KB2990999-x64.msu update with IE11.
Using IMPLEMENTATION=VENDOR, we are not able to get this IEDriver version working with out selenium based test tool, with or without microsoft webdriver tool.
I can see the driver IMPLEMENTATION set to VENDOR in the log, it also brings up the browser, but gets stuck there.Is this a known issue?ThanksTanvi

Selenium is a third party software, so it is not supported in MSDN forum. It would be better consult to selenium's office website or forum. Some placa like here:

How can I get the "BackColor" of button from WinForm application in codedUI?

I'm newbie in codedUI, I meet some problem when try to get "BackColor" property of WinForm control. I don't see it from property list. Please help me if you know or have some ideas about that. Thanks

Hi Duy.Hung,
Based on your issue, I think that you will have to extend the supported properties for controls used by the Coded UI framework. The following articles will show you how to accomplish this.

I'm trying to enable selenium I've downloaded it tried to install it, but all firefox says is "Requires additional items" How do I find out what it needs??

This is firefox 3.6, I downloaded java, I have the jar file for selenium. How do I get firefox to install it??

By default - i.e. unless you moved it - your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. Can you see one there?
Easiest solution to these issues: restore from your back up.

Codedui: Unable To Identify Objects Inside The Virtual Machine

Hi
We are unable to identify objects inside the virtual machine. We want to perform some tasks inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine object is getting identified as image. So when we perform tasks like creating a folder or opening any application
inside that virtual machine, all actions are recorded as image.Need help on this ASAP.
Thanks

Hi Haripriya78,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

Based on your issue, could you please tell me what operation you do and then get the error message?
Whether you record and run this coded UI test and then get the error message?
If possible, please tell me more detailed message about this issue.
Generally, I know that if you want to identify objects for coded UI test, I know that the
recorder needs to be present in the machine on which you are trying to record actions.
For more information, please refer the Vinoth's suggestion to check this issue.

Selenium Unit Tests / NWDI

Hello,
I've recently read the article:
HUDSON USAGE IN AN NWDI BASED ENVIRONMENT

I was interested in the unit test tool used called Selenium, has anyone got experience of using this tool for Web Dynpro built apps? I have downloaded the Selenium Firefox plugin to record the unit tests however when this tool is used for Web Dynpro Apps the right click option has been disabled.
Is there anyway to allow this right click? There are a number of Selenium unit test features under this right click option to help quickly build unit tests. i.e asserts
If anyone else has used Selenium to create unit tests in WDJ, have you used a different approach to the Firefox plugin?
Thanks in advance!

Dear All,
I am trying to use Selenium for Recording DynPro web pages, I am able to record successfuly, but I am unable to play it properly.

I am not able to view "Selenium IDE(Version Downloaded 1.21 Firefox v.28)" in my tools menu even though i see in Add-Ons.

I installed the latest Firefox available in Online and tried to install "Selenium IDE" to learn for testing purpose.All the installation was successfull (Also Selenium IDe addon was was available in Addon Manager) but it was not available in Tools Menu in the Menu Bar.
Please give me a suggestion to install Selenium Ide.I tried reinstalling it also i tried deleting files in "show directory" of Application Basics in Troubleshooting Information.
Firefox Version - 28
Selenium IDE version - 1.21
Thanks ,

Selenium IDE 1.21 is very dated, please try installing 2.5.0 from http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
Let us know if that solves your issue.
