Failure to send type command

[Gurpreet SinghParticipant]

Hi,

I am trying to write script to send type command into application under test but cannot seem to work.

i want to type “Admin” into username field. When I execute script, that step result shows passed in execution result but I don’t see “Admin” typed.

Please see attached screenshot, thanks.

Hello gsingh2014,

In the final test report a passed step result appears when ZAPTEST managed to locate and recognize the object, the actual typing appear only in the AUT (Application Under Test) physically:
Did the “Admin” was physically typed in the AUT?

Basically there are 3 ways to check it programmatically:
1. Using the “GetText” method upon the object after typing the “Admin” string, in order to output the actual printed text (This you can do by using a Message-Box).
2. Using the “CaptureBitmap” method upon the object or the entire page after typing the “Admin” string, in order to add to the final test report a screenshot of the object’s status.
3. Verify page’s status after the login UID was processed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

“Admin” was not typed in.

Although I noticed that:

When script was executed, Cursor moved in username input box but nothing got typed in.

I will try your steps.

Thanks

Hello gsingh2014,

Can you check please if when the AUT is being executed by ZAPTEST this Username input box is disabled?

Please advise.

Hi Sasha,

I tried step 1 and see empty message box after script is executed:

1. Using the “GetText” method upon the object after typing the “Admin” string, in order to output the actual printed text (This you can do by using a Message-Box).

Script:

Application(“Power ON”).View(“View 4”).Object(“Image Object 5”).Click
Application(“Power ON”).View(“View 5”).Object(“Image Object”).Click
Zap.Keyboard.SetTypeDelay 1000
Application(“Power ON”).View(“View 6”).Object(“Username”).Object(“txtusername”).Type “Admin”
msgbox Application(“Power ON”).View(“View 6”).Object(“Username”).Object(“txtusername”).GetText

How do I check this?

Can you check please if when the AUT is being executed by ZAPTEST this Username input box is disabled?

Hello gsingh2014,

You can check this by placing a breakpoint after the Type method, then go to the executed already AUT and check if you can type something into the Username text-box.
Basically I can check this for you only if the AUT is public (If yes then I’ll need its URL).

I placed breakpoint after type line and set it to wait.

I went to AUT and can type into username text box.

Thanks gsingh2014.

Can you please attach your test (attach the *.zap file) and if the AUT (Application Under Test) is public send me its URL and if not please attach also a screenshot of the page with the problematic Username text-box.

Thanks,

Hello gsingh2014,

I’ve ran your test in my end and it appears your Username object cannot be recognized during runtime:
Can you please rescan this page and try again.

If the above will not help do the following:
Remove the “regexpwndclass” Application’s object property value and run the test again.

Thanks,

I tried both scenarios:

1. Re-scanned the object view where Username is displayed.
2. Removed “regexpwndclass” Application’s object property value

Still no luck.

Thanks

Hello gsingh2014,

Please try the following:

1. Add another attribute to the Type method, “True” to the “UsePhysicalKeyboardEvents” attribute, so the full command will be:
Application(“Power ON”).View(“View 6”).Object(“Username”).Object(“txtusername”).Type “Admin”, 0, False, True

2. If this will not help please scan again the page but this time save it with a different Application object’s name (Instead of “Power ON” Application object’s name, before saving the new scan, set a different name only for this specific window).
