My Background:
I am new to WatiN, but not new to writing automated Web UI tests. At my new job, we are trying to use WatiN for our Web UI tests (thanks to a few CUIT fails).
I've solved this problem in the past using ArtOfTest.WebAii, by using a Win32 mouse click with a magic number offset from the containing element, but I can't seem to find documentation on how to do that in WatiN and I can't figure it out myself :\
My problem:
This dialog appears and I can't seem to find a way for WatiN to click it.
The dialog has the following markup:
<OBJECT style="FILTER: alpha(opacity=1); WIDTH: 329px; HEIGHT: 100px; mozOpacity: 0.01; opacity: 0.01; mozopacity: 0.01" data="data:application/x-oleobject;base64, <a bunch of data>" width=329 height=100 type=application/x-silverlight-2></OBJECT>
<param name="source" value="/CuteWebUI_Uploader_Resource.axd?type=file&file=silverlight.xap&_ver=634334311861475176"/>
<param name="windowless" value="true" object="" <=""/>
my test code:
[TestMethod]
public void SomeTest()
{
Settings.MakeNewIeInstanceVisible = true;
Settings.AutoStartDialogWatcher = true;
Settings.AutoMoveMousePointerToTopLeft = false;
using (IE ie2 = new IE())
{
ie2.GoTo(URL);
ie2.Link(SomeButtonID).Click();
ie2.Image(AnotherButtonID).FireEvent("onclick");
// some debugging code wrapped around the next user action
// which is clicking on the attach file button
var helper = new DialogHandlerHelper();
using (new UseDialogOnce(ie2.DialogWatcher, helper))
{
Thread.Sleep(1 * 1000); // wait for attach button to be "ready"
// Click button that triggers the dialog that states:
// "file browsing dialog has been blocked"
// "please click here and try again"
//
ie2.Button(FileAttachButtonID).FireEvent("onclick");
}
foreach(string dialogHandler in helper.CandidateDialogHandlers)
{
// nothing prints out here :(
Console.Out.WriteLine(dialogHandler);
}
// debug print out all elements with tagname = object
foreach (Element objectElement in ie2.ElementsWithTag("object"))
{
StringBuilder elementInfo = new StringBuilder();
elementInfo.AppendLine("--------------------------------------------");
elementInfo.AppendLine("element.tagname = " + objectElement.TagName);
elementInfo.AppendLine("element.style = " + objectElement.Style);
elementInfo.AppendLine("element.type = " + objectElement.GetAttributeValue("type"));
elementInfo.AppendLine("element.data = " + objectElement.GetAttributeValue("data"));
elementInfo.AppendLine("--------------------------------------------");
Console.Out.WriteLine(elementInfo.ToString());
// none of these clicks make the dialog go away
objectElement.ClickNoWait();
objectElement.Click();
objectElement.DoubleClick();
objectElement.MouseEnter();
objectElement.MouseDown();
Thread.Sleep(500);
objectElement.MouseUp();
}
// wait to see if dialog disappears after click
Thread.Sleep(300 * 1000);
}
}
Any and all help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Your control is a silverlight component which can't be automated with WatiN. Fortunately this you can combine WatiN and White to get the job done.
Following code is created and published by Leo Bartnik so ALL the credits go to him! Have a look at his blog post here. The following code in the comments:
He used the following versions.
watin-2.0.50.1179.zip from 2011-02-08 http://sourceforge.net/projects/watin/files/WatiN%202.x/2.0%20Final/
white 0.20 Binaries http://white.codeplex.com/releases/view/29694
public void WatiN_and_White_join_forces() { // Navigate to your webpage with WatiN string url = "http://localhost[port#]/WatinWhiteTestLandingPage.aspx"; WatiN.Core.IE watin = new WatiN.Core.IE(url); watin.Link(Find.ByText("click here)).Click();
}
btw don't know why the formating of this code is so way off....
