I was working on different apps on my Visual Studio Code, so i was debugging two different applications. However, the CSS effects and NavMenue suddenly disappear from on of them and when I debugged it, I got like the following picture.
In the debugge console i got this :
I've not changed anything in the code. Does anyone know what is the reason and how can I solve it ?
Note: when I open the local host from different browser it works well
I've solved the issue by Clearing the Last hour browsing data from Chrome.
This includes Deleting the following:
Browsing History.
Cookies and Other sites.
Cached Images and Files.
Then everything works well!
Note: Ctrl F5 doesn't work so it is better to delete the above information and then try again.
I've built a small windows form app that opens a crm of choice to that customer account by running a command with the incoming phone number to the pbx that is connected to the app. It hangs out in the task bar and runs in the background.
This app runs beautifully in the IDE visual studio, and then once built and ran from the .exe it runs great too. However, when submitting it to the Microsoft store and then downloading it, the app doesn't even open. The window doesn't pop up and close immediately even. There is no action at all.
I'm confused because it has passed the tests from the store itself but still doesn't work. I've even tried submitting a practically empty app (removing much functionality) so that I could just see if the window would pop up when I run the app, but still nothing.
I'm fairly new at playing around with these things, but I've spent so much time online in the past two weeks trying to figure out the problem I thought it would be worth asking the great group here.
If you think you need some code, please ask. At this point, I don't even know what would be helpful to share.
Thanks!
if you use .net framework you should insert the framework into the installation file.
or if you use database you should check connection string and insert the database into the installation file and insert the local database( by database version )on the Customer system.
I've got a webbrowser control in a winforms application which automates a tedious form completion process involving hundrends of records each time.
My problem is that I get an unspecified javascript error (code:0) only when I run the application.
The script won't crash when I use IE11.
I've implemented the required registry changes (FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION - I use 11000 for IE11).
The application used to work error free with IE9 (9000) and IE10 (left it with 9000 which worked).
I've read elsewhere that there may be a problem with asp.net recognizing IE11 but I can't find a fix for my system (Windows 7 64bit) and I don't want to just supress the script error because it also causes huge delays (it's probably the error since I had no such problems with the older IE versions).
I've read similar questions on the internet but no answer that fits my case was sufficient. For the time being I've set the ScriptErrorsSuppression to true but I'm not happy with that. Any ideas?
I have been playing around with testing a simple webforms ASP.NET website application and have come across the UIMap tool in Visual Studio 2010. However I do not know how to use it correctly and it never seems to work.
Do I need to be running my application in debug mode while recording?
Once the test is generated is there any way of visually seeing the steps as they are being performed?
Should I have the browser open before I begin recording, or should I do that once I start and browse to the page that way?
Can I use Chrome for the browser, or does it have to be IE?
Does using Dual Screens affect the running of the test?
Thanks for your help!
Do I need to be running my application in debug mode while recording?
No. You can not use debug/release mode of Visual Studio and do an record at same time. Start the application separately. This has the big advantage that you can test different versions of our application with one set of tests.
Once the test is generated is there any way of visually seeing the
steps as they are being performed?
No. You can get a log from test-run and of course you see the test-run in self, but there is no static graphic ... to be honest I never miss such feature.
Should I have the browser open before I begin recording, or should I
do that once I start and browse to the page that way?
That you can do as you please. Of course you can record the browser start. We start browser before, because browser start is not really a part of the test.
Can I use Chrome for the browser, or does it have to be IE?
At the moment IE is the forced browser. But there are ways to use other browsers.
Does using Dual Screens affect the running of the test?
No. All fine with dual screen. But don't forget when test is running you can't use your mouse and keyboard - you will fight the CUIT ;). We use a separate PC for long CUIT.
Here are some links which may be helpful for you:

I have been researching on how to automate browser testing for a number of weeks now using all kind of different methods. Seleniums website is very vague on which is the best route to take.
I have installed
Selenium Webdriver
Remote Control
Selenium Grid
Apache Ant
Nunit
(and pretty much everything else you could need to do this)
I finally give up trying on my own and want to know the best way to do this.
I want to be able to
Load the same webpage on a number of different browsers
Load the same webpage on a number of virtual machines(which I have set up)
Be able to take snapshots comparing the different browser results.
I have knowledge of programming in C# and would prefer to run my tests through Nunit.
Can anyone give me directions or point me to a website that already has them?
Thank you.
I have built up a test framework using junit with Selenium WebDriver that satisfies every one of your points. While its not exactly what you're asking for, I feel it may be beneficial to you regardless.
Load the same webpage on a number of different browsers
Using Selenium's grid, this is very simple to set up. Set up some virtual machines with the environments you're looking to test in. In our environment, for example, we have a grid running with four nodes (as virtual machines) with a setup like the following
Windows with IE7 and FireFox
Windows with IE8 and FireFox
Windows with IE9 and Firefox
Linux with FireFox
Note that Selenium recommends that only one instance of IE be allowed to run on the Windows nodes. On each of the aforementioned nodes, there is one instance of the specified IE and five instances of the specified FF allowed to run at any given time. With the grid setup and the hub configured, firing off tests is a breeze. In WebDriver, use the DesiredCapabilities object to set up the desired environment and then just send the test off and wait for the result to return.
Platform desiredPlatform;
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities;
desiredPlatform = Platform.LINUX;
desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
desiredCapabilities.setPlatform(desiredPlatform);
desiredCapabilities.setVersion("11");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver("http://hubURL", desiredCapabilities);
Load the same webpage on a number of virtual machines(which I have set up)
I solved this one by forcing the tests to run, albeit in an unconvential way, in a threaded manner. Each JUnit test uses a shared thread library I put together which creates all the necessary RemoteWebDrivers needed in separate threads. Each of these threads runs simultaneously on its node while the parent thread sits and waits for all to terminate. Then on to the next test which is run multithreaded as well.
There were a couple problems I encountered such as retrieving the Junit stack traces in all of the child threads. I solved this by redirecting Std.err to a bytestream on the parent thread. All errors get routed to that stream which I then convert to a string and print out to Std.out at the end of each test. The html pages generated at the end of the tests include Std.out which worked out perfectly.
Be able to take snapshots comparing the different browser results
While I have gotten this to work, there are some inherent problems with grabbing screenshots remotely. IE will return black screenshots if the process is running as a service. The workaround was to just run the jar from the command line and keep the user logged in, in which case the screenshots return correctly. This is a known issue in the browser and there really is no nice solution to the problem. Taking screenshots works roughly like this
WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
TakesScreenshot ss = (TakesScreenshot) augmentedDriver;
String base64Screenshot = ss.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BASE64);
byte[] decodedScreenshot = Base64.decodeBase64(base64Screenshot.getBytes());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(imageName));
fos.write(decodedScreenshot);
fos.close();
which saves the captured screenshot from the remote machine's running browser onto the local machine.
In reality, browser automation is still struggling to stabilize itself. There are a number of important features, such as the ones you're asking about, that just aren't implemented solidly that I know of in any framework. With time, though, I'm sure a lot of this will settle down and QA developers everywhere will rejoice.
As for the 2nd point: instead of using Grid you can let your continuous integration server do the job. In my company we use Jenkins and so called Configuration Matrix - it let's you run the same job on multiple Jenkins nodes.
As for the 1st one, I think Jenkins could be helpful here too. You can run multiple jobs on the same node. Although I've never tried that so I am not perfectly sure. And this is just an idea, I wouldn't really recommend such solution. You may also want to read this blog post describing how to run test in parallel using Selenium Grid. For people using Java I would recommend reading about parallel tests with TestNG.
Your third point is a little bit vague. What do you mean by snapshot? And what kind of result you want to compare?
Selenium RC is outdated and webdriver is more reliable way of creating selenium tests. I see the responses above cater more on java side. Below mentioned is more information on how to achieve the questions asked here using C# and selenium webdriver
On how to setup the IDE (VS express), nUnit and selenium refer
How to setup C#,nUnit and selenium client drivers on VSExpress for Automated tests
On Creating simple script that launches a browser does few steps refer

On how to Load the same webpage on a number of different browsers suggest referring
How to invoke locally different types of browser driver using selenium and c#
On Load the same webpage on a number of virtual machines(which I have set up) for this, you need to use Remote webdriver instead of normal webdriver. Also with remote webdriver, you can launch different types of browser. Refer this webpage

You might also consider the free Telerik Testing Framework. This is the underpinning for Telerik's commercial Test Studio product. The Testing Framework provides cross-browser support, does a great job with dynamic content situations (AJAX), and also lets you handle OS-level dialogs like file upload/download dialogs. You can also take snapshots of the browser at any point.
You can wrap the framework inside whatever runner you prefer. I've used NUnit and MbUnit without trouble.
There's also an option for a support package if you need help with your automation.
