Execute TestRunner on Server

I am completely new to Flex and FlexUnit. I am trying to execute a unit test that tests whether a rest webservice call generates the correct output. I am using the FlexUnit Ant task and I deploy the TestRunner.swf to the server where I want to TestRunner to run/execute the test, so that the rest call can be made properly. When I try this from the browser it works perfectly, but when I put the following in the Ant Task I get and error. Can anyone PLEASE help me with this??? What am I doing wrong???
<flexunit
   player="flash"
   swf=http://localhost:8080/TestRunner.swf
   toDir="${reports.dir}"
   haltonfailure="false"
   verbose="true"
   localTrusted="true"/>
I get this error:
Build Faild: the provided swf property value C:\User\workspace\flexunit\https:\localhost:8080:TestRunner.swf could not be found.

@bkinlaw - Just to split hairs, typically I like ot classify testing into 3 general categories: unit, integration, and functional. Tools like FlexMonkey, RIATest, and SeleniumFlex fall into the category of functional testing. These tools will test your software as a black-box verifying requirements based on feedback, in Flex's case, from the UI. FlexUnit has the capabilities to work within the context of unit and integration testing. Loosely defined, unit testing being the validation of a particular class, its properties, and behaviors and integration testing being the validation of the interaction of a series of class behaviors. To better achieve your goal of unti and integration testing with FlexUnit, check out the FlexUnit wiki on integration testing UI components and asynchronous events (http://docs.flexunit.org/index.php?title=Using_Asynchronous_Startup). If you're looking to get better test coverage via unit testing, check out some of the mock object libraries for AS3 to help you get there. I use mockolate (http://github.com/drewbourne/mockolate), but mockito-flex (http://bitbucket.org/loomis/mockito-flex/wiki/Home) and asmock are also popular; they work in a very similar fashion to mock object libraries in Java such as EasyMock and JMock. For more OSS solutions with respect to testing, builds, CI, etc. check out our Community Projects on the wiki for more ideas @ http://docs.flexunit.org/index.php?title=Community_Projects.
In terms of FlexUnit 4.1, bleeding edge builds are always available on the CI server (http://builds.flexunit.org). I believe that we may have a beta within the month of May for people to start messing with as well, but I can't promise anything. Hope this helps to shed some light on the options available for tesitng in the Flex/AS3 world.

Any Flex based wiki's available?

I was wondering if there are any packages available in Flex
that add a Flex based interface to a Wiki. It seems like it's an
ideal environment for WYSIWYG wiki entries. It's difficult to
search Google for one. I get tons of Wiki's about Flex but nothing
about a Wiki written in Flex.

What I'm looking for is a way to edit Wiki entries using a
true WYSIWYG editor. I guess it doesn't really matter what the Wiki
is written in on the server side but it seems like you could do a
better job with the user interface if it used Flex. I know there
are a number of interfaces that use Ajax to do what I'm looking for
but I haven't had much luck getting them to work across web
browsers.

Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Debugging not working with latest Flash Player Debug

First to emphasize that never had such issues with Flex
Builder 2 Beta 2 and Flash Player 9.0.47 Debug version.
I downloaded Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 and installed it. Then
trying to debug any Flex app (old or newly created) does not work.
I don’t get any errors, but after some research I saw
it’s nagging up on trying to connect to the Flash Player
debug version.
1. Uninstalled old versions of Flash Player (FP).
2. Downloaded latest debug version of FP 9 (9.0.115) and
installed it both for IE and Opera (Netscape-compatible).
3. Installed Flex Builder 3 Beta 3.
4. Created a simple Flex app.
5. Ran it in debug mode.
6. Showed a small window with title “Progress
Information” and a progress + text: Waiting for Flash Player
to connect to debugger…
7. Two minutes later I got the error: “Failed to
connect; session timed out. Ensure that: 1. You compiled your Flash
application with debugging on. 2. You are running the debugger
version of Flash Player.”
Any idea what is wrong? I tried to download an older debug
version but then FB 3 Beta 3 raises the error it’s expecting
version 9.0.115. I searched to download FB3 Beta 2 (because I
deleted it after downloading Beta 3) but unfortunately Adobe did
their best to wipe it out from their links.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Dimitar,
Did you close all the browsers (and applications which use
Flash Player) when you install Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 or Flash
Player? You can try manually installing it from <FB install
location>/player/ directory. Here're some
installation/unintallation instructions of Flash Player:

Hi,
Need to use a scrollable resultset and depending on the need to have a stateful connection or a stateless connection you may need to query the table for every request(for stateless connection) and use the same result set for(stateful connection). and depending on the no of records in a page and the page no do some simple arithmetic and move the resultset. Hope this helps.

How to use Flex tag library in jsp

Hi All,
We are planning to use flex in our J2EE application in order
to show some charts. Our j2ee application is in JSP,Struts. I have
searched on google about this and found that I can include flex 3
tab library in the jsp in order to use mxml tag in the jsp. I have
written a sample program in the jsp which uses flex.
<%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" %>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showMessage() {
message.value = "Use this application wisely";
function hideMessage() {
message.value = "";
</SCRIPT>
<mm:mxml border="5" onmouseover="showMessage();"
onmouseout="hideMessage();">
</mm:mxml>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><input type="text" name="message"
size="50"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
I have added entry inweb.xml. See below,
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>FlexTagLib</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/flex-bootstrap.jar</taglib-location>
</taglib>
Following are the problems that I am currently facing.
1) Could anybody let me know whether the entry of
<taglib> tag is correct in the web.xml. Is it the correct
jar(flex-bootstrap.jar) that I should include?
2) If yes, from where to download it? or
If no, what is correct jar that i should include and how?
your response will be highly appriciated as this is the major
requirement in our project?
Thanks ,
Chandan

Hi,

Flex with Jboss

Hi Friends
I'm developing Flex with java using Blaze-DS under the
Spring MVC. I've problem in using Jboss, Based on BlazeDS
Installation guide
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/blazeds/Installation+Guide
configure the jboss with Flex.There is no problem with Flex running
in Jboss but it couldn't establish connection and business logic
with java, The Jboss server couldn't through any errors. These same
war file run under the tomcat server. So please help me to solve
this problem.
Thanks&Regrads
Prakasam

I don't have any experience with Spring MVC but I was using
JBoss with Blaze-DS without a problem.
so my next question is, can you make a echo to work??
eg, make a function that returns the input string back to the
flex client.

Integrating flex with webdynpro java

hi,
iam new bie in webdynpro java.please tell is there possibility of integrating flex in webdynpro java,if so what are the prerequisites for it.

Hi
This is possible through Adobe Flash Islands under Mimes folder in your Webdynpro project. You create flex objects in FlexBuilder and generate the .swf files. Then the swf files need to be placed under the Mimes folder of Webdynpro Project from which they can be accessed.
Follow the link below for details :

Test Application in Flex Builder 3.0 by consuming a WebService

in the WIKI link you had provided, you have answers for your questions.
1. dataProvider="{abapWS.Zattendees.lastResult.Attendees.item}"
(webserviceid.operationname.lastResult.XMLelement.)
2. abapWS.Zattendees.send()
(click of the submit button call <wsid>.<operation>.send()
also check out this weblog (by DAN) on how to call the WS using actionscript without using MXML tags
http://blog.danmcweeney.com/57
Regards
Raja

Thanks Daniel,
I finally figured out how to send the arguments to the Webservice operation. And as you said, it looks much easier when i'm using the actionscript classes. The application is working fine when i'm Running the application right from the Flex Builder. But when i Build the relase and create a AIR application and install it. It does not seem to work. I guess i'm missing how to send in the userid and password to the webservice.
So, basically, as soon as the application is launched, i'd like for the Userid and Password Prompt to popup.
Can you please advice on how to get this working.
Thanks again,
RK.

Flex RSL issue with SDK version change?

Hi Friends!
     I am facing very crucial common problem when using Flex RSL feature.
Problem: My Custom component library is compiled with Flex 3.0 and more than 50 applications are using it. Now some of our new applications needs to use the features from Flex 3.2 SDK(like increased control width and height) and those controls should also be in same library.
So, the library should be common for application which are using 3.0 as well as 3.2.
My requirement is
"Without recompiling all Flex 3.0 applications, I need to run both Flex 3.0 and 3.2 applications using library compiled in Flex 3.2"
now I am getting some errors like,
     Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on mx.core::CrossDomainRSLItem() -- from systemmanager
     VerifyError: Error #1053 -- mx.managers.SystemManagerProxy.
     ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable _*_mx_managers_SystemManager
Is it possible to win this?
I hope flex is having backward compatibility.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Ananth.

The only cross-version compatibility is called the Marshall Plan. It is described on the open source wiki and on my blog.

Flex 2 and 3 together?

Can Flex 3 Builder coexist with a running install of Flex 2
Builder? I'd love to install and test Flex 3, but not at the
expense of continuing to get work done in Flex 2.
Thanks.

Yes! You can use Flex 2 with the new Flex 3 Flex Builder
taking advantage of the new multiple-SDK feature. Here is the
description of the feature:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions#Multiple_Flex_SDK_Suppor t
In summary, you can have multiple Flex SDK's installed and
target particular projects for these sdks. So, you can take your
existing projects and continue to target Flex 2.0.1. At the same
time, you can point any new projects to the Flex 3 sdk.
Good luck,
Joan

How to emulate CSS fixed position in Flex 3

Does anyone know how to emulate CSS fixed positioning in Flex 3?
Canvas (absolute layout) uses coordinates same as HTML/CSS absolute positioning.
How do I achieve fixed positioning where the panel is taken out of the flow and positioned relative to the application chrome? (similiar to applicationcontrolbar, but not exactly)
Someone please tell me if it is possible and some ideas how to achieve.
Mike

do not use the forum as marketing place for you site. if you want to share the content with SDN users, you have the blog area, wiki, article area.

Flex 3.5 data visualization license

Hi,
For Flex 3.5, the data visualization library is freely available, but it's licensing is unclear to me. Do I still need the Flex Builder license if I want to use it in a commercial product?
The legal stuff page (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff#LegalStuf f-LicensesofthevariousFlexSDKpackages) mentions:
"Adobe Add-ons for Open Source Flex SDK – This package contains all of the items that are in the Adobe Flex SDK and not in the Open Source Flex SDK. Downloading this file will allow you to bring the Open Source Flex SDK to parity with the Adobe Flex SDK. This package includes the Adobe Flash Player, Adobe AIR, the advanced font encoding libraries, and the code that allows licensing of things like the Data Visualization components. All of these elements are licensed under the Adobe Flex SDK license."
But I don't understand what that means. Is "code that allows licensing of data visualization" something else than the "data visualization" library?
Kind regards,
Glenn

The Data Visualization components were open sourced, but done so in a somewhat quiet and lazy manner. Nobody ever bothered to update the descriptions on the open source download page to reflect the change and (as far as I can tell) they never bothered to properly repackage it. If you want the source, you also have to go digging through the Flex SVN. Reading the source, you can find all kinds of details that were deliberately undocumented reflecting when Adobe didn't really want you messing with it and/or wanted to give you a reason to pay. No cleanup. Just released as-is.
For me it's been great since I am at last able to finally dive in and understand how the components work, extend them, and can often fix the quirks fairly easily.

Migration to flex 4 - performance issues

Hi ,
I am facing some strange behavior after upgrading my flex project from flex3 sdk to flex4.
First the performance has decreased significaly so i did some research and read this:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Linking+RSLs+by+Default
which says in short the in flex4 all the flex libraries are loaded as rsls to the player which explains the performance decrease i had ( my application uses a lot of memory which is what you have less of when you use rsls, you get better loading time ).
folowing the above article i change my compiling configuration not to load the rsls :
static-link-runtime-shared-libraries = true
this improved my performanc by a lot but still not as good as in flex 3 , when i look at the swf files compiled in flex4 i see that they are 2 times bigger now then in flex3 , none of the code was changed. this is strange to me because in flex3 i also did not use any adobe framework as rsls so i expect the size to be the same .
anyone has any idea why flex4 outputs a larger swf file then flex3 ( when not using rsls )?
Thanks

Flex 4 debug SWFs are larger because they are less optimized so compilation
can be faster. Export Release Builds and compare. You will still see an
increase, but it shouldn't be as significant.

Panel BorderThickness adjustment in flex 3

** Flex Newbie Here **
I'm trying to migrate a multi-application project from 2 to
3. I'm going through the Migration issues at;
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/Backwards+Compatibility+Issues#BackwardsCompatibi lityIssues-BackwardsCompatibilityCompilerOption
and got as far as 'Panel no longer supports borderStyle'.
The applications I'm working on have borderThickness settings
on the Panels using default borderStyle.
I want to fully upgrade the project to Flex 3 - therefore do
not want to set compatibility mode.
If borderThickness is not to be used in Flex 3 how do I get
the same effects (eg. no border displayed in the panel on the left,
right and bottom or, set the top, left right and bottom borders to
a value of 3).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I think most containers have a borderSides style. Not sure if
Panel falls
into that.
