[Samie-code] problems installing SAMIE

[Peter T. <pe...@Pe...>]

I am trying to install Samie. The downloaded ZIP contains a setup.exe that, on my WinXP-SP2 (almost a fresh install), does nothing. Checking Task Manager I see two processes: setup.exe and wowexec.exe that are using 0 memory and 0 cpu.

I tried Samie2.1, Samie2.0, and Samie1.2, with the same results on all three.
I browsed the CVS files, but they appear to be years out of date.

Can anyone help me either get the setup.exe working, or just give me the .pm files and any dlls that are necessary?

[Samie-code] JavaScript and Data::Dumper questions

[Tom C. <cun...@ma...>]

Couple of questions: 

a) JavaScript : The application I am testing has a lot of JavaScript-created links which don't
show up for me with VerifyLinkTextExists.    How do I click these / verify these?  I saw on the
message list archives that someone had experienced problems with JavaScript-created links before
but there wasn't any solution in the archives. 

b) Data::Dumper :  Has anyone had any success in debugging what SAMIE has parsed in through Data::Dumper?  I've been trying to get Data::Dumper to print out the fully verbose contents of @ALLIEObjects but haven't had any success.  Sometimes I get errors like the following :

"Can't coerce array into hash at C:/Perl/lib/Data/Dumper.pm line 156"

Any ideas on how to debug the contents of what's been read in?  The application I'm testing has a lot of frames and I've had to use the $Win32::SAM::URLHash{"$URL"} = 1; hack in order to get all of my frames loaded.

[Samie-code] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Samie-code] Problem using ClickLink with embedded <BR> tag.

[Nick N. <Nic...@sn...>]

I'm having a problem using SAMIE clicking on a link that has an embedded
<BR> tag with tabs / carriage return line feeds.

Here the link on the HTML page (View Source).
<a
href="/ims/servlet/Service?OPERATION=select&COLLABORATION=claim&SURROGATE=23
9664&SELECT=element">
	239664<BR>WCW0440
</a>

We use a Java API known as ECS from Apache group that prints the nice html.

Can we modify the ClickLink sub to ignore all white space ( spaces, tabs,
line feeds.)

I tried modifying SAM.pm with the following but with no luck.

         #print $IEDocument->all($i)->innerText . "\n";
          $innertext = $IEDocument->all($i)->innerText;

          #Remove white space from the beginning of the string.
          $innertext =~ s/^\s+// if (defined($innertext));

          #Remove white space from the end of the string.
          $innertext =~ s/\s+$// if (defined($innertext));
          if (defined($innertext) && $innertext =~ /^\Q$LinkName\E$/) {
            #$Index is used if there are more than one link with the same
name



Any thoughts.  In one way it seems you shouldn't have a <BR> tag in the
text, but I think this would be HTML correct.

Thanks,

Nick Neuberger

[Samie-code] ClickLine issues / suggestions with Javascript

[Nick N. <Nic...@sn...>]

BTW, I got some suggested code, from another member on the list, to click on
the javascript created link.  It works great.  This tool works perfect for
me.

This brings me to a problem with using SAM.pm with my application.  Our
application is checking to prevent double-click on our website.  The
resulting message is:  "Request, submitted, Response pending,  Please
wait...".   So for each page I navigate to using SAMIE, I get this message
box.

The following code is used in my test.pl
ClickLink("AMS");
$seconds = WaitForDocumentComplete();
print "AMS search page took $seconds seconds to load\n";


The following line was commented out and fixed my problem.
            $IEDocument->all($i)->click();
            #$IEDocument->all($i)->fireEvent("onclick");

My guess is that, the first "click" will fire the onclick event once.  Then
the "offending" lines calls the onclick again causing our script to get
fired to prevent double clicks.

Can I make some suggestions:

1) possibly remove the suggested line.  I think the "onclick" is fired when
"click" is fired.  Maybe not.  This may break other developer tests.

2) give an option to "suppress" the message.

3) I would like to post a new example to be distributed with upcoming
releases.  This example would have an html page with javascripts menus.  How
can I submit the example????

Any thoughts????

Much thanks,

Nick Neuberger

[Samie-code] samie code and javascript

[Nick N. <Nic...@sn...>]

Is there a way to click on a menu option that is built using javascript?

I couldn't see an example for this.

Much thanks.

[Samie-code] Mouse control in SAMIE

[Ryan E. <ry...@pr...>]

Hi All,
    Does anyone know a simple way to get the screen location of an DHTML =
element using perl in Win32

Instead of just clicking a link, it would be nice to have SAMIE move the =
mouse to the link, so someone running the test can visually follow what =
is happening.

    If the coordinates of the object are known, the mouse can be moved =
with the Win32::GuiTest functions.

[Samie-code] 200,000 testcases

[Wasserman H. <hwa...@ya...>]

I have written over 200,000 testcases with samie.  But
I have since moved on to another contract.  I have
been very busy lately working with htmlunit and
xmlunit as well as writing my own html generation tool
in JAVA.

I would like to get back to working with samie at some
point, and I probably will.  I have a version that
will run on active perl 8xx, but I need to test it a
little more before releasing it.  

Please post if you have any questions about getting
samie up and running.  It's infinately cheaper than
the "other tools" and actually a lot faster to run and
more flexible, just a little less hand holding to get
you up and running.

[Samie-code] Any Samie users out there?

[Ryan E. <ry...@pr...>]

Hi,
Where are the people who are executing the 200K + testcases with samie?  =
This mailing list appears to be stagnant.

I've found SAMIE to be a very interesting tool.  I think it could be =
quite useful in QA, within another test framework.. (perlUnit.).

[Samie-code] Any sample code for Perl/DHTML available? (migrate to python?)

[Ryan E. <ry...@pr...>]

Hi All,
    I am relatively new to both Perl and DHTML, but nevertheless very =
interested from QA perspective with what I see in SAMIE.  I was =
wondering if anyone knew of any freely available test code using SAMIE =
which demonstrates interacting with the DOM as part of the test, for =
functional testing.
    For example, looking for a specifice string on the page.
           or retrieving the value of a certain field.

Secondary question:
    I am more familiar with Python,  has there been any further =
discussion on migrating SAMIE to Python?

Thanks,
    Ryan
