Dojo DOH, unit tests with robot actions wont run

Question

When try to run dijit tests from 1.7 version, popup window shows up and test will not progress any further.

Popup says:

DOH has detected that the current web page is attempting to access DOH, but belongs to a different domain than the one you agreed to let DOH automate. If you did not intend to start a new DOH test by visiting this Web page, press Cancel now and leave the Web page

Clicking OK or Cancel doesn't do anything.

Whats going on a how to fix this?

Browser is Firefox 9, java is working (at least test page say so).

Answer 1

It's slightly hard to tell what the problem is, as you've not said whether you're running this from a local filesystem or under a web server, or which URL you're using.

I've had various problems trying to get DOH Robot running from the local filesystem, but good success running them under a web server.

Try it under a web server (any type will do), and try visiting the URL

http://server:port/ROOTDIR/util/doh/runner.html?testModule=dijit.tests.form.module

(where http://server:port/ROOTDIR/ points to the top of your Dojo SDK directory)

That works fine for me with Dojo SDK 1.7.2; sometimes I then get the same prompt you get, but OK enables the test to continue happily.

If that doesn't work, see if you can run a test page directly without the DOH browser runner wrapped around it, e.g.

http://server:port/ROOTDIR/dijit/tests/form/robot/Button_mouse.html

That might prove easier to diagnose.
