Here's another weird "My Posts" action

The first page very seldom shows more that 9 posts even though it says it is displaying 1 - 10 while the second page displays 11 - 20 correctly. It looks like what happens is that when a new post is added, #9 which should become #10 "disappears", while if another post is added, it returns as #11.
Would this be something on my iMac, a Safari problem, or a list problem?

That is another weird thing; as near as I can tell neither was a thread deleted, nor any of my posts. I have received any emails to either respect.
I often don't receive notifications if my posts were removed as part of a thread that needed trimming or deletion. The Hosts usually only send emails to notify you of a post-deletion if your post was against the terms of use.
But back to my question; do I understand you to mean that this would NOT be caused by either Safari or my iMac?
Not if it's caused by the situation I'm familiar with.

Step post action works only in 'Test UUts' mode

Hi,
My main sequence file has a list of steps, all sequence type. I specify a post action on each one to jump to end if the seq fails and if a flag is set:
FileGlobals.StopOnFail == True && RunState.SequenceFailed == True
I found out that it only works if I run my test in 'Test UUTs' mode. If I select 'Run Selected tests using Single Pass', then, it igonre this.
Is this how it supposed to be?
How can i fix it?
Thanks

[...]Why do you need a previous step?[...]
Rafi,
you are correct that you do not need a previous step; it is sufficient if the step itself fails and sets the RunState.SequenceFailed flag.
On my machine, this test also works as expected so i asume that either your step itself does not set the RunState.SequenceFailed flag or you have another issue in your Run Selected Steps using Single Pass execution....

How to create a Post String in HTTP Post Action - 11.5 SR3

Hi Guys,
I am trying to post a string to a servlet using HTTP Post. The servlet excepts a Parameter with name b2mml. I am trying to send the Post String in the HTTP Post actions as a name value pair b2mml=xmlencode("my xml here"). Is this the way that I am supposed to send the HTTP Post. In Java, I url encode the key and value and send it to the servlet in a Post.
What should be my post string in this case? does a simple name value pair suffice, which I think is not working in the test. I put the debugger on the servlet and I have seen that no data is coming in the request.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Thanks Sam. But that doesnot seem to solve the problem.
The transaction has the input 'b2mml' with is a xml. In the http post action, I configured the 'PostData' property using the link editor as
"b2mml="&Transaction.b2mml
The servlet is trying to read parameter b2mml but it is not there in the request object.

Pass parameters with Step-Post Actions-'Call Sequence' option

I have a sub-sequence which accepts a single parameter.
Ideally I would like to call this sub-sequence from several Steps, using their Post Actions property , using a Custom Condition Expression and the On Condition False: Call Sequence option.
The Call Sequence option, when selected, offers a list of sub-sequences including the one which I wish to execute, if the conditions are correct, but I see no way of passing an argument to the sub-sequence's parameter.
Is there a simple way of passing the parameter ?
Is there a syntax I could apply to the sub-sequence selected string ?

From the TestStand Help:
Call sequence—TestStand calls a sequence before continuing to the next step. You can select any sequence in the sequence file. TestStand does not pass any arguments to the sequence. If the sequence has parameters, TestStand uses their default values.
So I don't think this particular method is going to work for you. However, there are lots of ways to do this, here are a few I can think of off the top of my head (I'm sure there are more, and possibly better ones):
1. Just insert a sequence call after every applicable step with an apropriate pre-condition. This is the easiest method, but kind of messy and requires repeating the call everywhere.
2. Change the parameter to a sequence file global... ylch, I hate globals... Terrible programming practice, but it's easy .
3. Override the SequenceFilePostStep Engine Callback and put a sequence call with an appropriate pre-condition in there. This keeps you from having to repeat the code, but it will check the condition after every step executes, not just the ones you are interested in, so you may need some additional conditions.
4. Define a custom step type for these steps and use a substep to call the sequence.
Hope that helps,
Ryan K.

Post action execution

In post action of a pass/fail step, how can I go to a step in another sequence file?

To hss -
A post action can only call a sequence in the existing file and it cannot pass parameters either.
To call into a different sequence file, you must use a separate Sequence Call step that uses a precondition that references the pass/fail status of the previous step.

Post Action depending on variable

Hi,
my sequence has several subsequences with pass/fail decisions for different substeps. To save testing time my sequence does not perform the following substeps if one substep returned a FAIL as result and hence I set the Post Action On Fail: Goto cleanup.
However there are situations when I want to run all substeps also if one substep before returned a FAIL. I think a good solution would to set the Post Action differently depending on a Variable (Local, Parameter, FileGlobal, StationGlobal). For example: If the Variable is TRUE I would go to Cleanup on fail, if it is FALSE I would go to the next step on fail. I could put this into all my substeps and to change the behaviour only the variable value must be changed.
Is this possible or is there another solution for my problem?
Thanks
TT
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, this is more tricky....
The problem you are facing is that the setting for the post action is defined in the step instance. You can modify that during runtime using *any* expression, but if you fail to follow the correct format there, you will produce a run-time error.
Use the Step.TS.FailActTarget to jump as you like. The Step.TS.FailAct has to be "Goto" in order for this to work.
The next keypoint is to find the correct place for that expression. Never tested that, but it should be possible to induce it into the custom condition itself.....
hope this helps,

How do you remove a person from a photo and replace her with another person

How do you remove a person from a photo and repalce her with another person.

There are many tool and "tricks" to accomplish this manipulation. However, depending on the image one technique might be more appropriate than an other. And then there is the question of how to do it "skillfully". For example, the shadows in the person that is being substituted might be different than in the original image creating the obviously "photoshopped" look.
Doing an Internet search on your posting title brings up lots of examples.

Step post actions runtime modify?

Hello,
My SequenceCalls has Goto step -> cleanup in Post Actions as a default setting. Is it possible to modify this condition what TestStand does when Fail happens? I would like to have user decide at the beginning of the test what to do. Either keep current settings (On fail Goto CleanUp) or On Fail goto next step. It could be some kind of popup message or something like that. Or do I have to do completely new sequence for On Fail goto next step case?
BR,
Jick

I have attached one of the approach.
But here the default is go to next step instead of go to cleanup.
On failure and based on a user set variable it skips all further tests ( i.e. goes to cleanup) if opted for.
Hope this helps.

Creating the JSPDynPage ( form   name="myFormName" method="post" action=""

Hi All,
I am developing JSPDynPage example ,in this example i am using html tags instead of business HTML . So when i am submitting the JSP page , what is the name of the action i have to set in action method.
So please provide me detailed information for the above query and that would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Siva
This is my java class :
public class test extends PageProcessorComponent
below i am posting the my jsp page code:
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" scope="request" class="test.testmyBean" />
<hbj:content id="myContext" >
<hbj:page title="PageTitle">
   <form   name="myFormName" method="post" action="">
               <input type="text" name="T1" size="20" value="<%=(myBean == null)?"":myBean.getText()%>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1" onClick="javascript:fntCheck();">
   </form>
   <script language="javascript">
     function fntCheck()
          document.myFormName.submit();
     </script>
</hbj:page>
</hbj:content>

Hi Siva,
We can use <hbj:form> tag in our HTML code. So use <hbj:form> tag in place of normal HTML <form> tag and place a <hbj:button> tag in the hidden part of the HTML code.
When the user clicks on the HTML button, at that time call javascript to trigger the <hbj:button> button. This will submit the form to the server as the same way as submitting the page of HTMLB.
We implimented this in our project.
Follwing are the steps to do:
1. Replace <form> tag with<b><hbj:form></b> tag.
2. Add the follwing code in your JSP.
          <b><div style="visibility:hidden;">
               <hbj:button
                  id="Update"
                  encode="false"
                  text="Update"
                  width="125px"
                  tooltip="Click here to update address data."
                  onClick="Update"
                  disabled="false"
                  design="STANDARD"
                  jsObjectNeeded="TRUE"
               />
          </div></b>
3. Add the follwing line of code in <u>'fntCheck()' </u>javascript function.
<b>
var funcName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";
    func = window[funcName];
var buttonUpdate = eval(func("Update"));
document.getElementById(buttonUpdate.id).onclick();</b>
Deploy & Run.

Post Action Not Working

I have given a post action to a step and it does'nt work. Please se the attached sequence.

Hi,
There is nothing wrong with your sequence. The reason the Post Action doesn't jump to Cleanup as you expect is because the Status of first step is "Done" not "Passed".

After installing, when the site pops up to say "here is another product...", nothing shows up?

After installing flash player, when the website pops up to say "here is another product...", nothing shows up on the site. Is this a sign that there was a problem with the install? I did a fresh install of FP12 as I was having crash issues with games/websites. It would work, but inevitably, the player would crash. I'm hoping a fresh install will solve it, but I'm not liking that nothing shows up on the Adobe site after this install completed. Any thoughts on this would be welcomed. Going to test the install now.
Win7 Pro 64bit
Firefox 27.0.1

download the following:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player Uninstaller
Also, download these:
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 112 FULL installer (ther browsers)
You'll need to install Shockwave with the FULL installer for IE too, but there isn't a direct download for it. You'll need to go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ using IE AFTER everything else is done.
Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installers, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
Lastly, open IE and go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX (IE).
For Firefox, I recommend FlashBlock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/) It's prevent ANY Flash content from loading until you allow it manually. It can get to be a pain, but you eventually get used to it.

Display test result before post action

Hi,
I have a test sequence file that is constructed as when test failed, in Post Action, it will jump to a sub-sequence. And, what I found out is that the result status for that test step in the executation pane was not displayed until after the sub-sequence finished executing (the test steps for sub-sequence was not hided from the operator). I want to know if there is a way that I can modify the TestStand so that the test step result can be displayed in the execution pane before test step go into Post Action?
Thanks.

HTTP Post Action Block

Greetings all,
I am using a HTTP Post Action in BLS - Vs 11.5.
The objective is to return a HTTP string from a jsp page, so I can scrap the page.
The URL: http://mospublic.ercot.com/ercot/jsp/balancing_services_mcp.jsp?marketdate=2008-06-16   (obviously you might have to change the date to Yesterdays Date)
I have set up the HTTP Post Action with
URL Address of:   http://mospublic.ercot.com/ercot/jsp/balancing_services_mcp.jsp
Post Document:   marketdate=2008-06-16
Encoding: UTF-8
ID and Password are provided
Content Type:   application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Post_0.ReturnAsString comes back with typical HTML content for Today's Date.
Testing has shown that on a fresh IE window. Using the above url will show today's data.
Hitting this url again the second time will get the browser to yesterday's data.
So any suggestions on how to make this happen.
(btw, I have no control over the external public ERCOT website so changing thier jsp page isn't an option.)
Anyway we could emulate that action in BLS - v11.5?
Thanks
Dennis

Post-actions for Kpro-Content Server after Sap DB Copy

We have a Sap system based on Web As 6x connected to a Sap Content Server to store originals.
We copied back this Sap system to the quality system.
Now the Sap quality environment refers to the same Content Repository of the production, and we want to modify this.
From this environment it should not be possible to access or to modify the originals of the production.
More in general, wich post-actions can be done on the Sap target system after a DB copy where the source system is connected to a Content Server ?
For example, which tables can be cleaned up ?

"Continue" post action

I have a step in a For loop whose post-action I want to Continue (i.e., jump to the End step of the For block and continue looping [as in the "Continue" step type]) or to Break (i.e., break out of the loop by jumping to the End step and then executing the next step [as in the "Break" step type, not as in breaking execution]). Is this possible?
I tried to put a Continue or a Break step in a subsequence that gets called as a post-action, but that doesn't work because the behavior of the Continue and Break step types is scoped to the sequence in which they reside. Is there any other way to do this? To achieve the behavior of a Continue step, I can have a post-action destination of the End step (I can't think of anything equivalent to achieve the behavior of a Break step), but the steps I am trying to configure will be predefined as templates that are dynamically built into a sequence, and the end destination will not be known at edit time.

I agree with Doug that the best way to do this is probably with two steps. I set up a For loop with a Sequence Call step and a Break step directly after it. For the Sequence Call, I have the post actions set so that if the subsequence passes, it jumps to the step after the Break, so the loop can continue. If the subsequence fails, it goes to the next step (Break step) and exits the loop.
This isn't as simple as having everything in one step, but it does seem to work for me at least. If you'd like to see this function added to the API, please feel free to post it as an idea on the TestStand Idea Exchange so that it can be considered for future versions of TestStand.
I hope that helps, and let us know if you have any further questions about it!
