Flex Automation - prerequisites

Hi
We have Flash Builder 4.0 with Premium License. We have moved Flex 3.6 to 4.6. Could you please let us know if this configuration is OK for automation, so that we don't run into "License is not present" error.
I have searched this all over - but the precise answer is missing. Could you please point to a document which calls out the prerequisites (compatability of Flash Builders for Automation of different versions of SDK) so that I can take this as official confirmation.
Thanks for all your help in advance

Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue"

Hi,
We are using "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License. We are working with the automation of a Flex application. The automation tool we are using is the FlexMonkium 4.1.5.
We have some issues with the automation. I have mentioned those below:
Flex Automation API is limiting the features of the FlexMonkium 4.1.5 as this tool inherits the features and it underlies on the mechanism of the FlexAutomation API only.
Due to the above mentioned point, the dependencies are:
License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed.
License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed.
When we record the user actions performed in the application with the FlexMonkium, we are getting the error as "License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 15 - 20 user actions have been performed.
When we execute the recorded script, it is showing up a error message as "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 51 -20 user actions have been executed by the script.
The complete code of the application is compiled with "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License."
From the adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/682958 we understood that the 4.1 SDK with Premium licence would work fine with record and playback.
My quesion is, Does the same works with this combination > "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Please guide me to resolve this issue, it would really be very helpful for me:)
Thanks in advance,
Anand.S

May I know what you mean exactly by "Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Have you entered Flash builder premium license key in the screen that asks for serial number? If so, it will be Flash Builder Premium version 4.0 and not Standard version any more.
If so, automation should work without any issue.
To check whether premium features are enabled for your version of Flash Builder, please open "Network Monitor" using Window > Show View and see if it is enabled.
If it is disabled, it shows a message that premium license is required.
Please confirm.

Flex automation and license

Hi,
I try to use FlexMonkey with my project but after 30 records I've this error message : "License not present. With the trial verison only limited records are allowed.". However, I bought the license for Flash Builder premium 4.5.
Maybe the problem is because I compile my project with flex builder 3.6?
Could you help me? I bought the license specially for using Flex monkey...
Thanks in advance,
Bat

It's not a FlexMonkey problem. It's an automation license problem and I'm having the same problem on one of two Windows 7 64-bit machines. I've done all that I can find in the thread Re: Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/834214 but to no avail. As Deepita suggested to confirm Premium status, network monitor is available. I originally installed the trial version of Flash Builder, even had Burrito on for a while.
Assuming it was some leftover file, I uninstalled every Adobe product Bought CS5.5 Master Collection. Installed, same thing. Then I uninstalled CS5.5 MC and made sure that I permanently deactivated as per the suggestion in another thread. No luck.
As per the above thread, I went looking for the following:
On Windows 7 and Vista, the license.properties file is located in: ..\ProgramData\Adobe\Flex
I modified that file's record for serial number (as it wasn't my sn for CS5.5) and had great hope.
I'm still limited to 20 automation actions, at which point it all stops. Solution?

QTP version 10 + Adobe 4 flex automation plug in + windows xp.

Could anybody please let me know if there is an isssue with active x with QTP v10. When i tried recording an sample flex application i was able to record the controls as flex controls.
Any comments will be helpful..

Serial number needed to try flex automation

I'm running the Flex Automation Installer to install the
plugins needed to evaluate use of QuickTest Professional for
automated Flex 2 testing. The Installer requires entry of a Flex
Data Services serial number. (The applications I want to test do
not use Flex Data Services, so this seems an odd requirement for
evaluation of the test tool.) How can I get the needed serial
number? If this requires discussion with someone at Adobe who
oversees my organization's Flex licenses, how would I determine who
that is and how to contact him or her? Is it necessary to purchase
a Flex Data Services license to evaluate QTP automated testing of
Flex 2 apps?

I have the QTP configured with Flex and I am able to record
most events. Attempting to record a mouse rollover results in the
following error : “Error: Unable to find automation method
'flash.events.MouseEvent' for class 'name: FlexImage
superClassName: FlexLoader”. My app is a simple image which
applies two states to display the image. It utilizes the
Automation.automationManager.recordAutomatableEvent method for the
target event, within the “rollover” event handler.
Also, I override the “replayAutomatableEvent(Event)”
method calling the
Automation.automationObjectHelper.replayMouseEvent() for the
MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event. The error propagates from the MouseMove
event as reported in the stack trace –Click and ChangeFocus
also are reported. I’ve added the rollover event to the
“TEAFlex.xml” file. Its my understanding that any event
outside of those defined in the “QTP Object Type”
document for each control can be configured in the
“TEAFlex.xml” file, for any control descending from
UIComponent. I received a similar error after extending the
ProductCatalogThumbnail ( Canvas ) class contained in the flex
store code, though this error propogates from Scroll. Can you
determine why ( in the first case ), the rollover is failing?
Stack trace:

[Automation] Differences when using Flex Automation Framework ?

Hello everyone,
I recently made some tests with Flex Automation Framework and noticed that using it slightly change the application behaviour.
First, it changes the way container intercept dans handle mouse event as expalined in Adobe JIRA ticket #791:http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791
I'm using sdk 3.2 so it won't be fixed. However future releases (3.4+ and 4.0+) should not have this problem.
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Does anyone experienced other bahavioural changes when using automation ?
Thank,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
The only change which we know of is the one that you rightly pointed out in bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791 . There are no other behavioral changes that occur when you compile your application with automation.
With regards to your statement
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Can you please send us a working sample of this issue as we have not come across this behavior before.
Regards
Shanaz

Flex automation support for Firefox 3.6.8

Hi There,
I have been using flex automation plugin for a while which comes with Flex Builder 3.0. Where it is mentioned that flex only supports automation with IE browser. Is the same comment applicable with Flas Builder 4 automation plugin. or is it supporting other browsers other than IE from Flash Builder 4 like Firefox.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Some say October. Though I have not seen any possible dates yet from Mozilla as they cancelled the3.6 EOL discussion they planned for in meeting at end of June and did not mention 3.6 in June 6 meeting notes.
There will be a 3.6.19 update at minimum scheduled for about August 16.

Flex Automation with QTP 10 (SDK 3.2 & 3.5) Error

I have been able to get very basic applications to work with the automation libraries and then with QTP.The issue I'm having is with the actual project I would like to automate. I have done all of the steps to install automation correctly and have also put the additional compiler arguments into flex. However when the application is initialzing I get the following errors:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I've tried using the automation APIs for 3.2 and 3.5 but both yield the same result.

The application that I'm working with uses the code-behind method of flex development. Has anyone had any issues working with QTP with a project using this method? Any information/ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

Flex automation

Hey Guys ,
Anyone knows how to automate a flex application that loads
modules at runtime. I have a flex application that has a swf file
that loads 3 different modules at runtime (3 swfs). How can I
compile such flex application for automation. Is it any different
then normal automation compilation ? will it create 3 SWF + 1 for
my application ?
I am using QTP for writing automation scripts.
would appretiate your help!
Thanks

QTP Flex automated test limited replays

I have been writing QTP automated test for our company's flex
application. My computer has Flex Builder 3 trial version installed
and I get the message "License not present. With the trial verison
only limited replays are allowed." (for the ones with sharp eyes, I
didn't miss type a word of the message, it comes with that typo.)
from time to time.
And today I got the serial number from my boss. I enter the
serial and everything worked, but I am still getting that "License
not present" message when I was running my test. I tried to
uninstall Flex Builder 3 and the QTP Flex plugin and reinstall them
again, but it didn't help.
Anyone has a clue on how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

If you are using static compilation with automation libraries
you need to recompile your application to get rid of the message.

QTP 11 with Flex Automation

QTP 11 Plugin for Flex Supports only IE6 or later. Is there any other add-in for QTP for Flex Applications which supports other browsers like FireFox, Chrome.. etc?

There are a variety of QTP patches which will allow support for different browsers. It's not so much a Flex plugin thing as a QTP thing. And QTP is supported by HP not Adobe.
Check out this patch list:

Flex Automation: RegisterUserFunc fails

Has anyone had success with registering user-defined
functions in QTP for Flex components? This is a mechanism whereby
standard method implementations are replaced with custom ones and
new methods can be added.
I've tried it with FlexTextArea, FlexButton and FlexCanvas. I
get the following dialog:
Run Error: Object doesn't support this action:
'Flex<ComponentType>(...).<Method>'
I validated my approach is with a Browser app's WebEdit.
Code:
Function MyClick
MsgBox "worked"
End Function
RegisterUserFunc "FlexButton", "Click", "MyClick", False
Browser("Runtime Loading
Sample").FlexApplication("automationExample").FlexApplication("prototype.swf").FlexButton ("releaseButton").Click

Greg,
Thanks for your help.
The "&" seems to get me past that error alright.
The example was sent in an email from Adobe after I
downloaded the Flex Builder 3 Trial. I just copied and pasted it
into Flex Builder exactly as they had sent it to me.
The email message included this:

Creating your first Flex rich Internet application is easy.
Just copy the following code into a new Flex project inside Adobe
