Return the last number of “Test”

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:39:13 +0000

How can I use RegEx to just return the last number of “Test”?

Test = "NestedGrid1" or Test = "NestedGrid15"

To return 1 or 15?

I did figure this out:
xNGNum = replace(Test, "NestedGrid","")

but i am curious if there is a better way.

thx

Way to check if a table is visible

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:15:06 +0000

I need a better way to check if a table is visible or not. Currently, if the WebTable is not visible, I open it. I determine which WebTable is needed by finding the "html id" but so far, my code always triggers.

My code is such:

NGNum = Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebTable("innertext:=" & GroupName &".*", "visible:=True").WebTable("innertext:=" & "Document Type.*", "visible:=True").GetROProperty("html id")

If Not Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").WebTable("innertext:=" & GroupName &".*").WebTable("innertext:=" & "Document Type.*", "visible:=True", "html id:=" & NGNum ).Exist(0) Then
Browser("Wisdom").Page("Wisdom IA").Frame("parent").Link("name:=" & GroupName, "visible:=True").Click

Can anyone give me a better idea?

thx ;-)

GetROProperty and GetVisibleText in QTP

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:21:59 +0000

Hi All,

I'm facing a problem in QTP using GetROProperty for extracting text from Button and Static field in Windows Application.

Problem Faced:
String which is expected to be displayed in Button and static field is not displayed properly(it is having string cut) in UI. But on using GetROProperty it returns the expected text eventhough string cut is present in UI.
Other alternative is GetVisibleText.But when GetVisibleText is used also some portion of the text which is not displayed in UI is returned.Also QTP help file itself mentions not to use GetVisibleText as it return value may differ across platforms.

Can anyone help in sorting this out?Any other alternative?

Thanks in Advance.

Bad Length Error on Setting values in SAPGUIEdit

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:58:01 +0000

Hi All,

This is very common issue with SAP.

There are few fields in SAP which throws 'Bad Length' error on setting values into it during run time(using Script). However you will be able to set the values manually.

The problem is with the length assigned to such field during run session. The field length is usually smaller ,say 4, at runtime. So if you are trying to set a value of length more than 4, you will get this error.

I figured out a way of doing with using the below undocumented method.

SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Display Order").SAPGuiEdit("").Object.text=""

The above code worked fine for me.

Hope this will help few of you.

QTP gives wrong value through GetRoProperty

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:30:37 +0000

In our application there are two value in drop down. We select first value and apply method GetRoProperties("text"). QTP gives second value.
Can any one rectify why this is happening?

Why is the object name a value instead of a name?

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:30:25 +0000

Why do some objects in the object repository have the value of the object instead of a name in the object name property? So far I have only seen this occur in display only fields and when the Object Class property is "SwfObject.

The problem, of course, is that I have to assign a more reasonable name manually to use the object in a test and then the name is not maintained from version to version of the code under test.

Is the assignment of the object value to the object name property due to QTP or is this a result of a setting in the tool used to set up the object in Virtual Studio?

If this is a setting that the developer can change or if I could specify QTP to use the swfname from the Description Properties by default, for example, it would make writing tests, so much easier!

From what I have read, the name of the object must be "properly exposed" for the compiler to associate an object name with it.. but the developers tell me they don't know what controls this.

Anyone know how this works?

(I am using QTP ver 10.00 Build 513 on Windows XP).

Thank you,

How to close a Window obj with a "text:="& ReportName

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:49:46 +0000

Currently, the code below close all of my objects with micclaasss = window. I need to close a Window obj with a "text:="& ReportName & ".*" only.

How do I add this in?

Sub CloseWindow (ReportName)

'CLOSE REPORTNAME BROWSER
Set oWindow=Description.Create()
oWindow("micclass").Value="Window"
Set obj=Desktop.ChildObjects(oWindow)
For i=0 to obj.Count-1
obj(i).Close
Next

End Sub

Do i just add:
oWindow("text").Value=ReportName

QTP 11 and Flex 4.5

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:31:09 +0000

Hi,

I am trying to use QTP to test a flash app.
I installed QTP11, and the Flex 4.5 plugin for QTP on my Win7 64b system.
I select the Flex, ActiveX and Web add-in at QTP startup.
I also applied the procedure below (from Adobe site) to build my flash app:
[i]To use run-time automated testing (recommended):

Open a command prompt.
Navigate to the flex_builder_root/sdks/4.5.1/templates/automation-runtimeloading-files directory.
Execute the build.bat file. This compiles the runtimeloading.mxml file into a SWF file.
Copy the runtimeloading.swf and RunTimeLoading.html file to your web server. Copy the Flex application that you want to test to this server as well (the application need not be compiled with automation libraries).
Request the RunTimeLoading.html file and pass your Flex application as the automationswfurl query string parameter; for example:

http://localhost/RunTimeLoading.html?automationswfurl=MyApp.swf[/i]

But when I do a "navigate and learn" from the repository manager, QTP is still unable to see Flash content, all it sees is a WebObject, nothing more.

On another Windows server 2008 32b, it's a bit better,, the Object Spy is able to see flash objects,however, Navigate and Learn does not see any details, only a WinObject.

Any suggestions,
Thanks

Window Object does not react without RDP

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:13:58 +0000

Hello ,
im Using QTP 9,5 and try to generate automated scripts for an Application
The first thing i realized is, that the application is only recognized als Window Object, so i have to use positions x,y to move in the application.
This is not good but does not making any trouble. The terrible thing is:
My Testcase only runs, when i watch via RDP.
When i dont watch via RDP, i cant login into my application:

Quote:Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Activate
Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Click 165,70
Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Type username
Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Click 159,89
Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Type password
Window("Customer Management").Window("Sign in").Click 213,154

[/quote]

username and password are declared and initialized variables
In my oppinion all looks pretty well so i dont understand why qtp cannot realize this steps while im not watching per RDP.
My suggestion was that the method type can only be performed when there is a active keyboard (O.o).
Any suggestions ?=)

Dennis

Where is the Flex add-in ?

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:12:00 +0000

Hello,

I am using QTP 11 on Win7 64 bits.
I have a flash application to test, my understanding is that I need the Flex add-in from Adobe, that is (was ?) delivered with Flash Builder.
So I installed Flash Builder 4.5 from Adobe, hoping it will come with this add-in, but no way, when I start QTP, it does not show the Flex add-in.

Do I have anything to do in order for QTP to see the add-in ?

Thanks for helping,

QTP tutorial fails systematically

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:39:46 +0000

Hi,

I just installed QTP 11 and patch 699 on Win 7 64 bits, and tries to run the tutorial with IE8.
It systematically fails at the "Check Page" checkpoint execution.

The errors that are detected are random, most often, it found 7 images instead of 11, sometimes, it does not find ANY image nor links ...(for example after deleting browsing history).
I restarted the tutorial 4 or 5 times, no luck.
The tutorial works fine on my Win 2008 server (32 bits) machines, with IE8.

If anyone has suggestions ...?

Fixing broken Checkpoints

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:54:40 +0000

I have been using a set of checkpoints for a long time now, and just recently they stopped working. As you can see by my screenshots, everything is setup correctly “I think”. Can someone look over my OR and code screenshots and let me know what my issue may be?

Run Error:
The "WebTable_AccountNo" object was not found in the Object Repository.
Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object.
Line (178): ".WebElement("WebTable_AccountNo").Check CheckPoint("Account No.") ' was WebTable".
Tip: If the objects in your application have changed, the Maintenance Run Mode can
help you identify and update your steps and/or the objects in your repository.
