I am new to codedUI and for a start I am reading a lot about what should be a best practice.
I have read that if you are using complex application that is advisable to use multiple UImaps. Although I can not see a benefit at the moment I have created small project with two UImaps.
In the first initial setup (with initial UImap and CodedUITest1) I can choose whether to use Test builder or existing action recording for generating code. What ever I do it 'goes' to initial UImap. When I create new UI, test builder is started and I can record some actions and when I save it, it is added to newly created UImap in my case called AdvanceSettings. But I can not generate code from existing recording. Why is that? I would like to create automated test cases based on manual test cases with recordings.
Below is my code. I am using CodedUITest1 class for both UImaps. Should I use new class for
every UImap?
If you have some comments on code please do write some.
As I see it. Multiple UImaps are used if you have complex application so you can more easily change something. every GUI element has one UImap so if something changes on that GUI you only edit that UImap. But if you have one UImap and you use proper naming you can also easily replace or re-record certain method. So I am missing big picture with multiple UImaps.

You cann't use multiple UI Maps with the from existing recording feature. this feature always generates code in a map called UIMap. I've explained a bit about these limitation in a blog post i did about integrating specflow with Coded Ui tests
http://rburnham.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/record-your-coded-ui-test-methods/
If you want to use Multiple UIMaps for better maintainability you have to use this method
Record each action individually by right clicking the UIMap and selecting Coded UI Test Builder.
Manually wire up the test to the actions by creating a blank Coded UI Test, update the UIMap it references and then in the test methods call the required actions to perform the test.
Its a limitation that makes what is good about the MTM integration pointless.
Having multiple UIMaps speeds the test execution. Additionally this makes editions, assertions, properties and settings a lot easier.
To create tests for the second UIMap you just right click on it and press "Edit With Coded UI Test Builder"
Regarding the But I can not generate code from existing recording. Why is that? I have no clue - what do you mean by can not?

Is it possible to use some kind of #Before annotation ?
I want to 'pre-load' datas (POST) before to launch my tests (GET).
But I only want parallel executions on the GET.
I was thinking to define a method with #LoadWith("preload_generation.properties") with :
number.of.threads=1
ramp.up.period.in.seconds=1
loop.count=1
Just to be sure that we execute it only once.
But it looks like I cannot choose the order of execution, and I need this POST method to be the first one executed.
I also tried to put a TestMappings with my 'loading method' at the top of the class.
But it doesn't work neither.
I am not aware of any way that ZeroCode would be able to do this as it is specific to only re-leveraging tests already written in JUnit. My suggestion would be to follow a bit more traditional approach and use standard JUnit setup methods
#BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
// setup before the entire class
}
#Before
public void setup() {
// setup before each individual test
}
rather than attempting to use a tool outside of its intended purposes.
As per your described scenario above that you want to ensure data is loaded before your tests are executed, especially in the case of being run under load by ZeroCode it is suggested that you determine how to create your data using the
#BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
// setup before the entire class
}
While this may take a bit more thought into how you create your data by creating it before all the tests it will ensure that your load test is excluding data setup time.
This question relates to ReSharper. If I have an interface that looks like this:
public interface IOrder {
Task SetDeleted(Guid id);
}
and my class inherits from that interface, I would expect ReSharper to generate the following code, when selecting the "Implement missing members":
public class OrderService {
public async Task SetDeleted(Guid id) {
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
However, it completely ignores the async part of the method, so I have to type that manually every single time. This was fixed in 2016.3 of ReSharper, as described here (at the bottom).
However, it does not work for the CTRL + . keybinding (or whatever it is), that looks like this:
Is it possible to somehow change, how this behavior works within ReSharper? I want all generated Task methods to be async automatically. There is no option within ReSharper's "Members Generation" that enables me to do this.
In case class has only one missing member ReSharper doesn't show dialog therefore you can't tweak generation options. But you can add one more member to your interface and invoke generation action, this time ReSharper would show the dialog where you can set option "Make task-returning methods 'async'". This generation option is persistent i.e. it's last value will be stored in ReSharper settings and used by default.
I want to make a custom camel processor to behave as a custom component.I read it as it as possible from http://camel.apache.org/processor.html - section--> Turning your processor into a full component.
Here the Custom Processor created will have to do the job when i call
someComponent://action1?param1=value1¶m2=value2
in the route.
For this i created a sample component using maven catalog.This created Endpoint,Consumer, Producer and Component classes.
The link says that the component should return ProcessorEndpoint which i have done.
So, Endpoint looks as below
public class SampleEndpoint extends ProcessorEndpoint{
// Automatically Generated code begins
public Producer createProducer() throws Exception{
return new SampleProducer(this, processor);
}
public Consumer createConsumer() throws Exception{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("This operation is not permitted....");
}
// Automatically generated code ends here
//added below to make custom processor work for custom component
public Processor createProcessor(Processor processor){
return new SampleProcessor();
}
}
But, here the code in the processor is not getting executed instead the code in the SampleProducer gets executed.
Here i want the processor to be excuted.How do i do that?
When extending ProcessorEndpoint, the Producer from createProducer() will handle the exchange, i.e. Producer.process(Exchange exchange).
This is why you are seeing SampleProducer being used. But if you wanted to delegate to a processor, you could probably just change your code to be:
return new SampleProducer(this, new SampleProcessor());
My best advice would be to attach a debugger and put breakpoints in your SampleEndpoint, SampleProducer and SampleProcessor methods to see what gets called and when.
I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Coded UI tests for a web application. I have a test for logging into the app which starts the browser, locates the login dialogue, enters credentials, and then clicks ok. I have an assertion which checks for the correct url after the login. This test appears to function correctly. My problem is that it closes the browser after the test runs. I need to keep the browser open, so I can run the next test in my sequence. How do I do this?
At the moment, I don't have anything in my [TestCleanup()] section. I'm assuming that what I'm looking for goes here, but so far I haven't had a lot of luck figuring out what that is supposed to be.
I don't have the original source where I found this solution :(
You can have a method like the one showed below. This method needs to be called in TestSetup. Also declare a class level variable _browserWindow of the tyep BrowserWindow
private void SetBrowser()
{
if(_browserWindow == null)
{
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = "ie";
_browserWindow = BrowserWindow.Launch("http://www.google.com");
_browserWindow.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup = false;
_browserWindow.Maximized = !_browserWindow.Maximized;
}
else
{
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = "ie";
_browserWindow = BrowserWindow.Locate("Google");
_browserWindow.Maximized = !_browserWindow.Maximized;
}
}
Ok, so what I needed to have happen was the launch and login before each test. I thought what I wanted was to run the browser and login test first, and then each additional test. After reading more, I've decided what I actually wanted was to run this logic as initialization code for each test. I've done that by adding this code to the default [TestInitialize()] generated when I started the coded ui project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have found the following method to work for my data driven coded UI test in Visual Studio 2015.
You will want to use [ClassInitialize] and get your browser open and direct it according to where your [TestMethod] begins.
Use [ClassCleanup] to release the resources after all the methods in the test class have been executed.
You can redirect test methods different after the class has been initialized by using the [TestInitialize] and clean-up test using the [TestCleanup]. Be careful with those though because they will occur for each test method and if it closes your browser instance your following test will fail.
private static BrowserWindow browserWindow = null;
[ClassInitialize]
public static void ClassInitialize(TestContext context)
{
Playback.Initialize();
browserWindow = BrowserWindow.Launch(new Uri("http://198.238.204.79/"));
}
[ClassCleanup]
public static void TestCleanup()
{
browserWindow.Close();
Playback.Cleanup();
}
I have an application that has a class named: UploadItem. The application creates uploading tasks based on information it has, for example, an upload needs to be created to upload a file to sitex.com with this the application creates a new UploadItem and adds that to an ObservableCollection, the collection is bound to a listview.
Now comes the part that I cannot solve.. I decided to change the structure so that people can create their own plugins that can upload a file, the problem lies with the fact that the UploadItem class has properties such as:
string _PercentagedDone;
public string PercentageDone
{
get { return _PercentagedDone; }
set { _PercentagedDone = value + "%"; NotifyPropertyChanged("PercentageDone"); }
}
But the plugin controls on how a file is uploaded, so how would the plugin edit the PercentageDone property that is located in the UploadItem class? If there is no way to do such a thing, then is there another way to achieve the same, i.e. showing the progress on the main GUI?
You'll want to define an interface for the plugins. Something like:
public interface IUploadPlugin
{
Task<bool> Upload(IEnumerable<Stream> files);
int Progress { get; }
}
The plugins then need to implement this interface and export themselves:
[Export(typeof(IUploadPlugin))]
public class MyUploader : IUploadPlugin, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
// ...
}
Notice that this plugin implements INotifyPropertyChanged. This is an easy way to handle updating the progress. Fire PropertyChanged on the Progress property and then databind your ProgressBar control in the main view to this property. Make sure that you fire PropertyChanged on the UI thread.
Another option would be to fire a custom event when the property changes. You could handle this event in the main view logic and update the progress.
Notice that I'm using Task for the return. This allows the caller to wait until the upload task finishes. You could use a callback instead, but with the CTP of the next version of .NET, using Task<> will allow you to use the await keyword for your async programming. Check it out here and here.
