The Type method super slow in my script

Good afternoon, Drickmyre!

Could you attach your simplified script (within the lines which you have posted) to check your issue on our side.

Thank you,
ZAPTEST Team

I’m sorry. Are you asking me to attach the file of my actual script? And if so, is that protected from being accessed publicly by anyone? It includes usernames and passwords for a business website that I test, so I can’t have that data be available publicly. If I’m misunderstanding, please let me know. Thank you.

Good afternoon, Drickmyre!

No, we want to see the script which could replicate your issue. If you have some difficulties to share your script (hiding all data), could you replicate this issue on some public websites? Just typing the text in some text-filed.

For example. Could you check the attached script. This script types some text into search text-box on http://www.microsoft.com website. Do you have the same problem with that?

Thank you,

Ok, in the example you provided, it typed very quickly. I am attaching my script. I have sanitized it and cut it down so that now it only goes to the site and attempts to type in the username and password. You will notice that though it takes a long time, it does eventually type in the username and password, both in Internet Explorer and Firefox. The problem is how long it takes.

Thank you for your patience and help.

We found the problem of using Type method in your application. The reason is that after clicking on the text input the label is disappears:

This problem will be fixed in the next version. We will inform you.

As workaround we can solve this problem by using the images at the left part of the text-boxes. This way we should change Recognition Type of our labels to Image. We have attached your script with updated labels. Also we updated Recognition Type of Title object to Image, because the title is not text-based object. It significantly improves performance.

Result script and results are attached. All updated lines are marked within “‘ !!!”. All execution process (2 browsers) takes 15 seconds.

Thank you,

Thanks for the tip! Knowing that I can change the recognition type, as well as the scalability and precision level, has helped a lot. I’m looking forward to exploring this program some more to see how much I’ll be able to utilize it.

Good afternoon, Drickmyre!

We have released a new version of ZAPTEST (v17.0.3) where we have improved “Type” method. Starting from this version you could use “Type” method for objects which disappears after clicking. Give it a try!

Thank you,
ZAPTEST Team.
