I am trying to create a UI test in Android Studio which will navigate through the various screens of my application and take screenshots when I tell it to.
I am new to Android Studio and Android programming in general; I have a decent understanding of XML and Java, but I don't know much about build files and I am not very good at using Android Studio, it seems.
I started this endeavor a couple weeks ago, and the first solution I tried was to use uiautomator. However, the documentation on that page (and seemingly just about everywhere else) is geared towards development with Eclipse, which I would like to avoid using for this project if possible.
The next thing I tried was Espresso. After I overcame some issues with implementing Espresso into my project, I was able to write tests with Espresso which would navigate through the screens of my application. However, unlike uiautomator, Espresso does not have built-in functionality to take screenshots at this time.
I first attempted to solve this problem of being unable to take screenshots with Espresso by writing custom code; as I'm still unfamiliar with Android, I wasn't really sure how to go about that, so I searched for help on the Internet (How to programmatically take a screenshot in Android?). However, I was unable to get the solutions I found to function from inside the test file.
Somebody recommended the usage of this tool: https://github.com/rtyley/android-screenshot-lib but I could not figure out how to import that into my project.
I eventually came back to uiautomator; I was still having a lot of trouble importing it into my project, and some people said that Robotium would help with that. I got Robotium to work, but I still could not import uiautomator.
It has been probably one month since I started using Android Studio, and in that time, I've had nothing but trouble simply getting the software to function properly. For the sake of brevity, I've omitted all the problems I have managed to solve on my own, but, to put it bluntly, I'm at the end of my patience.
TL;DR
If somebody could either:
-explain in the simplest possible way how to import uiautomator into an Android Studio project (I have read a lot of documentation about how to import external libraries into a project, but they all tell me to add a 'libs' folder to my project, but do not specify which type of folder to use [Java Resource Folder? Assets Folder? Module? etc.], and/or they tell me to go into Project Structure, select my app, go to dependencies, and choose "Import as Module," which does not work...)
OR
-explain how best to take a screenshot from inside of an Espresso test, including any instructions on how to import any required libraries
OR
-explain in detail some other way to create a UI test that can take screenshots...
...I would really appreciate it. I've spent days trying to figure out how to do this, and I am so frustrated. Many people have asked similar questions, but the answers are either too vague or the problems aren't close enough to my own.
Thanks!
Alright, after much trouble, I've found a very simple solution. It took me a very long time to work out, but if anyone else needs to do something similar, I'll put my conclusion here.
First of all, the testing framework that is easiest to use with Android Studio, it seems, is Espresso. Setting up Espresso is fairly simple; most of the instructions can be found here: https://code.google.com/p/android-test-kit/wiki/EspressoSetupInstructions Make sure you read it carefully -- it tells you basically everything you need to know, but I missed some important details and that caused me a lot of trouble.
If you browse around that Espresso site, it tells you just about everything you need to know about how to write Espresso tests. It was a little frustrating for me because, if I wrote a test and the test failed, my device would then have connection issues with my laptop and I would have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cord I was using. I think this had something to do with the fact that I was using a Nexus 7 with a Windows 8 laptop, which has given me some problems in other areas, so you may not encounter this issue yourself.
Now, unlike uiautomator, the documentation of which claims to have support for taking screenshots, Espresso does not have built-in support for taking screenshots. That means you'll have to figure out a different way to take screenshots. My solution was to create a new class (called HelperClass, in my case) inside my androidTest package and add this method to it.
public static void takeScreenshot(String name, Activity activity)
{
//slightly modified version of solution from http://www.ssaurel.com/blog/how-to-programmatically-take-a-screenshot-in-android/
//I added "/Pictures/" to my path because that's the folder where I wanted to store my screenshots -- you might not have that folder on your device, so you might want to replace "/Pictures/" with just "/" until you decide where you want to store the screenshots
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Pictures/" + name;
View v = activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView();
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v.getDrawingCache());
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
OutputStream out = null;
File imageFile = new File(path);
//the following line will help you find where the screen will be stored on your device
Log.v("Screenshot", "The image file path is " + imageFile.getPath());
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
// choose JPEG format
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// manage exception
} catch (IOException e) {
// manage exception
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (Exception exc) {
}
}
}
In order for this function to work, you will also have to add the following line to your manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Without that, the function above will throw a FileNotFoundException every time you run it.
Finally, to call the takeScreenshot function from inside your Espresso test code, use this line (assuming you called your class HelperClass... if not, use the name of your class instead.
HelperClass.takeScreenshot("Whatever you want to call the file", getActivity());
Finding where your screenshots are stored can be a little difficult if you don't know where to look. I added a line of code to the takeScreenshot function that would print the filepath to LogCat, but I was using the file explorer on my computer to look for the screenshots on my Nexus (which was, of course, connected to the computer), and I couldn't find that path. However, I got a file explorer application on my tablet which made it very easy to find where the files were located in relation to everything else.
My solution may not be the simplest and it certainly isn't the best -- you'll fill your device up with screenshots before long if you aren't careful to delete the ones you don't need anymore, and I haven't got any idea how one would go about saving the screenshots directly to, say, a computer connected to the tablet via USB. That would certainly be helpful. However, if you really need a simple UI test that takes screenshots, and you're frustrated to no end like I was, this solution should probably help. I certainly found it useful.
I hope this helps somebody else -- it definitely solved my problems, at least for now.
Of course if you don't have all the restrictions that I did when I had to write a UI test that took screenshots, the other posts in this thread probably work much better.
You should give AndroidViewClient/culebra a try. Using culebra GUI, you can automatically generate a test case that interacts with your app and takes screenshot exactly when you indicate so.
I'm working in new application written in Siebel 8.1, issue appears when I'm trying to replay script and I can't handle that.
Replay Output:
Error -27086: Auto-correlation callback function
"flCorrelationCallbackParseWebPage" failed (rc=1) for parameter
"Siebel_Parse_Web_Page40"
web_reg_save_param("Siebel_Parse_Web_Page40",

"AutoCorrelationFunction=flCorrelationCallbackParseWebPage",
"AutoCorrelationDll=LrwiSiebelCorrelationWrapper",
LAST);
I have done all steps for prepare record options from: http://software-qe.blogspot.se/2008/01/siebel-7x-record-and-replay-for.html
I'm using Loadrunner 11.52 (Siebel Web protocol), IE8.
We've been using the autocorrelation library for quite a few years on my team and we see this a lot. Unfortunately, it's not an easy problem to diagnose.
First I would check your test results and your VUser log to see if something happened before the autocorrelation failed. (Make sure your logging is set to parameter substitution in runtime settings).
Check your parameter files for extra spaces, commas, etc. Sometimes I've seen that error right after it rejects something about your parameter file.
Worst case scenario, your script is corrupted and you'll have to start over. We've gotten in the habit of making frequent backups of our scripts just because of this issue. Usually, we'll be able to start from our backup and continue or create a new script and paste the old code in. Autocorrelation error "magically" goes away with the same code in a new script.
If auto(magical)correlation does not work then use manual correlation.
Record twice with same data: Compare. You will find session, state and time data.
Change the credentials: Re-record. Compare. You will find credential related correlation
Change the business record but keep the same business process. Re-Record. You will find the business related correlation.
Do not expect autocorrelation to provide a magical working script. You have about a 0.0001% chance of that happening without LoadRunner script development intervenetion.
I have a very strange problem with the constructor of AptPkg::Cache object in the precise package of libapt-pkg-perl (v. 0.1.25).
The perl script is designed to download a debian package for three different architectures (i386, armel, armhf). For each architecture I do the following:
Configure AptPkg::Config '$_config' with the right parameters and package-lists for the desired architecture.
Create the cache object with AptPkg::Cache->new .
Call the method AptPkg::Cache->policy to create the AptPkg::Policy object.
Call the method AptPkg::Policy->candidate("program-name") .
Download the package for the selected architecture.
This works very well with Ubuntu Lucid, but with Ubuntu Precise I can only download the package for the first architecture defined. For the other two architectures there will be no installation candidate (method AptPkg::Policy->candidate("Package-Name") doesn't return an object).
I tried to build a workaround and I found one solution how the script works for all three architectures, without problems, in precise:
If I create the cache object (with AptPkg::Cache->new) twice in a row it works and the script downloads the debian package for all three architectures:
my $cache = AptPkg::Cache->new;
$cache = AptPkg::Cache->new;
I'm sure that the problem has something to do with the method AptPkg::Cache->new because I checked everything else, what could cause the problem, twice. All config-variables are set correctly and I even get a different Hash for AptPkg::Cache->new for each architecture, but it seems that I am overlooking something important.
I'm not very familiar with perl, so I am asking you guys if someone can explain why the script works with the workaround but not without it. Further it looks quite strange if you have the same line of code twice in your script.
Maybe you hit this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapt-pkg-perl/+bug/994509
There is a script there to test if you're affected. If it's something else consider submitting a bug report.
edit: Just saw this is 11 months old :/
(I'm using InstallShield2012 V.18)
In setup.rul I defined a function per prototype declaration, included the file with the function definition and compiled it successfully (InstallShield compile).
Now I'd like to test this function (only).
I don't want to run the whole installation, not even test (Ctrl-T) because I want to avoid a complete re-build which takes too long time to do it often.
Is there a way to test only the custom function in InstallShield or per command line?
Not really although I can give you some tips.
Create a dummy feature with a release flag of DEVONLY.
Create a dummy component for that feature.
Create a ProductConfiguration that builds a single MSI with no EXE and a release flag of DEVONLY.
Building this production configuration will be very fast. A couple seconds on my laptop with an SSD. You can selectivly include other features through the use of release flags if you need certain components in order to setup the test environment for your CA.
Another strategy is to develop your CA in a test harness project and then transplant the code into your real installer when you know it all works.
Christopher, thanks for this fast reply. I have to put my answer here because commenting was restricted, because too long.
I also thought about using such a workaround but first wanted to avoid it if possible.
But ok, now I tried these steps, 1 and 2 no problem, but 3: InstallShield didn't allow me to configure a Product Configuration without Setup.exe in my .ism file (although we have IS2012 Pro).
Then I tried to do it in a Basic MSI Project (is that what you meant?), which really builds in very short time. And now I can see my scripting during Test Release, yeah :-)
To "transplant" my script now to the main ism I'm missing an export function for .rul files as it exists for custom actions, but there is only a import. So I will have to copy-paste while switching between ism files, but never mind.
