New Post: WatiNLibrary for Robot Framework - based on Wax?

Mangar00 — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 21:39:31 GMT

Wax is a great tool/framework for WatiN. But for more integration of different automation (web + desktop/mobile, etc.) something like Robot Framework (www.robotframework.org) may be more ideal.

I was thinking perhaps the work gone into Wax could be adapted for a "WatiNLibrary" for Robot Framework, with an library API similar to that of the SeleniumLibrary for Robot Framework (http://code.google.com/p/robotframework-seleniumlibrary/) so users can switch over to whichever tool works better for them easily.

Robot Framework is based in Python and .NET based test libraries can be implemented with IronPython (currently experimental support) or as remote library that communicates over XML-RPC. I've built a generic library interface using XML-RPC so that one can create any .NET test library for Robot Framework by just following the framework's specs.

http://code.google.com/p/sharprobotremoteserver/

I'm planning to eventually make & release such a "WatiNLibrary" but could definitely use some help or input from others. Contact me if interested, I haven't started a project page for it yet.

New Post: Port or enhance for Selenium support?

Mangar00 — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 21:32:32 GMT

Would be interesting to see a Wax port, or enhancing Wax to add support, for Selenium, so that instead of using WatiN, Wax tests can drive Selenium (via Selenium's C# API).

The only thing similar to that right now for Selenium (that I know of) is SeleniumLibrary for Robot Framework - http://code.google.com/p/robotframework-seleniumlibrary/

New Post: access elements in a frame

I change the code FindByHref() in FindMethod.cs.

context.Browser.Element(WatiN.Core.Find.ByUrl(new Regex(this.Value)))

you can try.

New Post: I change FindMethod behavior.

Marken — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 01:57:42 GMT

I recompile WAX with WatiN 2.0 RC1.

I find that WAX can't find the element in frames.

So I change some code in FindMethod.cs.

Here is a example for FindById：

var docs = FindAllDocuments(context);
            WatiN.Core.Element elem = null;
            foreach (WatiN.Core.Document d in docs)
            {
                elem = d.Element(WatiN.Core.Find.ById(this.Value));
                if (elem != null && elem.Exists)
                    break;
            }            
            return elem;

 private List FindAllDocuments(IExecutionContext context)
        {
            var docs = new List<WatiN.Core.Document>();
            // First find all frames
            FindAllFrames(context.Browser.Frames, docs);
            docs.Add(context.Browser); // Then add browser self
            return docs;
        }

private void FindAllFrames(WatiN.Core.FrameCollection frames, List<WatiN.Core.Document> docs)
        {
            if (frames.Count == 0)
                return;
            foreach (WatiN.Core.Frame fm in frames)
            {
                docs.Add(fm);
                FindAllFrames(fm.Frames, docs);
            }
            return;            
        }

Hi,

Pretty sure WaxRunner works with IE7, must be something else that is causing a problem. Can you post the full error message?

Regards Ed.

New Post: IE and .Net version compatibility

BigSkyClan — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:36:17 GMT

I have been trying to troubleshoot an install of Wax Runner on a Windows XP client. Currently the client runs XP SP2 with IE7 and .Net 3.5. When I attempt to run a known good excel test script, Wax Runner fails and spawns a series of about:blank windows, one for each test step. The results pane notes that a file could not be found, "...could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.mshtml". The same script runs successfully on a different client machine, the only difference is the second client uses IE6. Is there way to use this with IE7?

Thanks.

Is there any built-in methods to write results from waxrunner to input excel file?

Try downloading the code, it has the documentation with the screen shots. Use SVN to download it.

luisugaz — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:47:45 GMT

I'm trying Wax and want to click on a link with no name (unfortunalty i don't control this). I'm able to do this with C# but I want run this with Wax via Excel. The link is this:

In C# with WatiN it works with this line

_ie.Link(Find.ByText("New")).Click();

Is there a comparable ByText? I get an error with it. Or is there a Link command.

Thanks in advance.

maybe this can help you

i guess you have wrote JavaDialogGetMessage in your command column , as it is shown in the documentation.

hi,

I am facing a problem while attaching a modal dialog using WaxRunner. When i use the SimpleJavaDialog command argument, i get an error when the file is loaded that the file is of incorrect type. Can anybody provide me some help on this? Can I get a sample of excel with inputs for attaching a modal dialog?

Thanks in advance,

ms_gigabyte — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:51:10 GMT

I have strted using WAX. It seams to be a very easy way to write aumated test. But I am finding difficulty in fiding proper documentation and help. I need to make test cases for .Net application. As mentioned by another user UsingDocument is not working even with the lates update. Kindly help in this regard. How can I fully benefit from this tool.

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.
