Commented Issue: Negative assert

Borundin — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:50:28 GMT

When using the Validate command it seems that I cannot do a "Not" Assert. Maybe there is a way that I am not aware of?
For example I want to validate that a table cell does not contain the value "56,23". The correct value should is "56" but if I validate like below it will pass even though the cell contains the value 56,23 (which is wrong in my case). So one solution would be if there was a command like "NotValidate" or similar.

Command CommandArgs FindMethod FindArgs
Validate "56",Text ById w33571561608593750_table.1.0_d.1.1_1
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Borundin **

I made a quick and dirty patch to add the ValidateNot command.
There is a ZIP with the three changed files attached to this comment in case anyone wants to have a look.

When thinking a little bit more I guess "ValidateNot" would be a better name for such a command.

New Post: The file was of the incorrect type...no SSL support?

Starting0ver — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:16:59 GMT

I created an Excel spreadsheet almost identical to the one in the example and it looks fine, but I keep getting this error. I'm trying to test an SSL supported site. Do WATiN and WaX support SSL? I was very excited to find this tool as I am not a developer but have enough knowledge to use it to automate some basic tests. I did notice there is a post about running WatiN tests on Vista in protected mode, but I am using XP SP3 with IE7.

If anyone can respond to this post, I'd sure appreciate it. Looks like there hasn't been activity here in a while.

I do hope you will continue to work on this tool as I think it has great potential and is easier to use than most such tools.

Added new commands for: Added new commands: AppendText, BringToFront, Focus, ClearText, PressTab, TypeText and Refresh

Wax Example

Creating a test to search google

1. Creating the excel test script

The first command navigates to the google home page
The second command sets the text property to WatiN; it finds the text property using the HTML element's name attribute.

The third command submits the search
Finally the forth command clicks the link that has it's href set to http://watin.sourceforge.net

2. Running the test

You can run a test script using WaxRunner that has a user interface to select, run and examine test script results.

Alternatively you can run the tests using WaxConsoleRunner. This method is useful when integrating running of tests in an automated build process

Wax, "Watin And eXcel" - User guide

Introduction

There are 4 basic categories of commands:

Action commands - used for interacting with the browser, setting values, clicking buttons etc...
Assertion commands (validation commands) - used for validating document object model values meet expected criteria.
Dialog commands used for interacting with Internet Explorer dialogs, such as javascript prompts, login boxes etc...
Settings commands used to change the default Watin Settings...

Many commands are performed against a specific element of the HTML page. Inorder to carry out such a command the method to locate the element must be specified using a find method

Find Methods

Source code checked in, #21175

ewilde — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:50:33 GMT

Refactored quite a bit to eliminate all "Code analysis errors" apart from the cyclomatic complexity ones. Added better error handling, and error reporting in Wax Runner when opening a file that contains unknown find methods.

phungquocham — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:38:18 GMT

Hi Edward Wilde,
This program is a wonderful! Many thanks.
I have already fixed this bug (UsingDocument, ...)
In WaxLib project --> Test.cs file --> public void Execute(IExecutionContext context, bool shouldThrowErrors) method, add more this code:

                catch (ValidateException validateException)
                {
                    if (OnErrorOccured(new ExcecutionException(validateException.Message, validateException, command)))
                    {
                        throw;
                    }
                }

We have 3 Exception: FindMethodException, ValidateException, CommandException, The contents of Execute method would look like this:

        [CLSCompliant(false)]
        public void Execute(IExecutionContext context, bool shouldThrowErrors)
        {
            this.ThrowErrors = shouldThrowErrors;
            this.numberOfCompletedCommands = 0;
            this.numberOfFaildedCommands = 0;

            foreach (Command command in this.Commands)
            {
                bool success = false;
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(command != null, "Command object should not be null");

                try
                {
                    command.Execute(context);
                    success = true;
                    this.numberOfCompletedCommands = this.numberOfCompletedCommands + 1;
                }
                catch (FindMethodException findException)
                {
                    if (OnErrorOccured(new ExcecutionException(findException.Message, findException, command)))
                    {
                        throw;
                    }
                }
                catch (ValidateException validateException)
                {
                    if (OnErrorOccured(new ExcecutionException(validateException.Message, validateException, command)))
                    {
                        throw;
                    }
                }
                catch (CommandException commandException)
                {
                    if (OnErrorOccured(commandException))
                    {
                        throw;
                    }
                }

                if (this.CommandCompleted != null)
                {
                    this.CommandCompleted(command, new CommandCompletedEventArgs(this.numberOfCompletedCommands, this.numberOfFaildedCommands, success));
                }
            }

In addition, in WaxLib project -->ValidateCommand.cs file --> private void ValidateStringValue(string value) method, we should change else if(value != this.ExpectedValue) --> else if (!value.Contains(this.ExpectedValue)) make search result more exactly.

Regards,
Hung PQ

I found a few issues with Find methods.

1) The commands.htm documemnt mentions the correct syntax is "ByDocument" in all the examples except one link which uses the syntax "UsingDocument". So I think the documentation is incorrect.

2) Looking further into this issue I created a test file with ByDocument as the Find method. Using that method causes the program to fail to load a .xls file. I looked in the code and it is expecting "UsingDocument". So I used "UsingDocument" and the test file loaded. I then tried to execute the test file and the WaxRunner program crashed. I further looked into the code and it does not look like "UsingDocument" is connected to anything in the WatiN library. Does it work? I browsed change set 4231 where it was introduced and it see not to be hooked up there either.

3) I tried the ByTitle Find method. It too crashed the WaxRunner program. Does that work?

Running the attached EXCEL document causes the WaxRunner to crash when it cannot find the final command.
