[SOLVED] sahi (OS v4.4) "did not complete in 150"

i upgraded from sahi v3.5 to v4.4 and when i ran one of my scripts, sahi would hang after logging into the application i'm testing, and after waiting a while, it would finally return this error message:
"did not complete in 150"

i had stumbled across something similar to this before and had documented it here: sahi how to test gmail

that gave me some clues about what to do to fix it:
1. make sure all the https sites in SSL Manager were displayed with a green checkmark, instead of a red dot.

in my case, "localhost" had a red dot, but when i clicked on "localhost", there was no way to accept the self-signed SSL certificate permanently--i only saw this in the iframe:

localhost uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

so i had to open a new browser tab at this address:
https://localhost

then i could accept the certificate.

2. then, as an educated trial-and-error guess attempt, i found out i needed this line, in userdata.properties, to fix it entirely:

xhr.wait_ready_states=2

[SOLVED] sahi _setSelected not working with primefaces 4, but works with richfaces 3. workaround

back when we were using richfaces 3, this code worked fine:
_setSelected(_select("myForm:ChrgTrsTbl:0:price_chargeCode_input"), "CustClearance");

but it doesn't seem to work with primefaces 4. this, however, seems to work fine:

_click(_listItem("CustClearance"));

sahi, suggestion: "_wait(maxTime, condition)" with "AND" functionality, not just "OR" -- stop execution if "condition" returns false

i wish there was an additional "_wait(maxTime, condition)" function that would stop execution if condition returns false.

as of now, it seems as if "wait + condition" continues execution no matter the outcome of "condition", which makes it an "OR" test, but my suggestion would be for an "AND" test, i.e.:
wait, up until maxTime is reached, and if condition is still false, then stop execution.

i want this because of network/server response timing issues, specifically related to ajax operations.

UPDATE
i just posted this as a discussion in the sahi forums:
suggestion for _wait: stop execution if condition returns false

UPDATE, WORKAROUND
to achieve the same thing today, it looks like you'd have to code it like this:
_wait(10000, _assertTrue(_isVisible(_link("detailsForm:saveAgreementBtn"))));
_assertTrue(_isVisible(_link("detailsForm:saveAgreementBtn")));

and this gives the same functionality, but with less code, but also may look potentially confusing:
_wait(10000, _isVisible(_link("detailsForm:saveAgreementBtn")));
_assertTrue(_isVisible(_link("detailsForm:saveAgreementBtn")));

[SOLVED] sahi, primefaces: p:dataTable no rendered table tag id

i'm updating our sahi test scripts for our new primefaces frontend and ran into a difficulty when trying to select a specific table row cell.

this page gives a hint as to how to select specific table cells:
http://sahi.co.in/docs/faq/get-cell-data.html

using this format:
_cell(_table("<table_identifier>"), x-1, y-1)


but the problem is that when a primefaces p:dataTable gets rendered to HTML, the table is enclosed in a div tag, and that div tag gets the id value set in the p:dataTable code, and the actual table tag doesn't have an id.

i solved my problem like this:
_cell(_table(1, _in(_div("selectMember:selectMemberTable"))), 1, 1)

here i specify the *second* table (there's a table in the header too), which is the actual dataTable table (0-based indexing, so value "1").

however, from what i can see, the sahi documentation is confusing concerning "x" and "y", if you interpret "x" to mean column (left<->right position), like i do.

"...1, 1)", in reality, means "row 2 (x), column 2 (y)" (0-based indexing, so "1, 1")

------------

as a side note, i found this sahi script code useful/interesting too:
_table(0, _in(_div("selectMember:selectMemberTable"))).rows[0].style='background-color:red'

which changes the background color of the first row of the first table to red.

sahi, primefaces: "ReferenceError: PrimeFaces is not defined". solution: just rerun the sahi script

sometimes when i run a sahi script to test our primefaces ui, the script times out with the following error:

ReferenceError: PrimeFaces is not defined (http://localhost/pages/listTransportAgreements.jsf:278)

when i rerun the script, it usually goes away, so i'm not quite sure why it works sometimes and other times it doesn't.

[SOLVED] sahi include script does not exist

today's problem started out like this:

### verify_any_transport_requests.sah ###

_include("functions/common_functions.sah");
_include("functions/common_vars.sah");
_include("functions/transport_request_functions.sah");

tc_login($buyer_user_unil, $buyer_pass_unil);

listAllTRQsUnfiltered();

tc_logout();

###########################

every time i'd try running this script i'd get the following error in the sahi log:
ERROR
Script: /home/nick/workspaceEclipse/tcTrunk/testing/functional_testing/stage_1/sahi/functions/transport_request_functions.sah does not exist.


since i knew that the include file indeed did exist, i figured it had to be something wrong with the code. then i saw this code in transport_request_functions.sah:

_link("filtermenubarForm:filterBtn");

it should have been:
_click(_link("filtermenubarForm:filterBtn"));

it seems like that was the problem.

[SOLVED] starting sahi dashboard gives "java.net.BindException: Address already in use"

i tried starting the sahi dashboard to run a script:
cd ~/workspaceEclipse/tcTrunk/testing/sahi/userdata/bin
./start_dashboard.sh ~/workspaceEclipse/tcTrunk/testing

but got the following error message:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
    at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source)
    at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(Unknown Source)

    at net.sf.sahi.Proxy$1.run(Proxy.java:126)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

SOLUTION

i stopped my local jboss 7 server that was running in debug mode, and then i was able to open the sahi dashboard.

THE REASON

normally when you start sahi it tells you that it uses port 9999.

looking at the jboss console startup output, i could see that the reason sahi wasn't starting up was because port 9999 was already in use:

[org.jboss.as.remoting] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS017100: Listening on 127.0.0.1:9999
...
[com.myapp.utils.ContextFactorySingleton] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 70) ContextFactorySingleton initialized with the following values:
localserver = true
initialContextFactory = org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
providerUrl = jnp://localhost:9999


UPDATE 20140310

so, in order to test on your local jboss 7 version in debug mode, using sahi, you need to change the conflicting port, 9999, here:

jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/configuration/takecargoconfiguration.xml (or standalone.xml, if you're using the default configuration file):

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
    <socket-binding name="management-native" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.native.port:8888}"/>
    ...
</socket-binding-group>


Here, i've changed 9999 to 8888.

sahi - how to assert whether an html select option is selected or not

_option("FullReceived").selected

the above code is just a partial. here are some examples of implementations:

assuming that it IS selected, i.e. expecting a "true" value to be returned:
_assert(_option("FullReceived").selected);

and if/else test:
if(_option("FullReceived").selected) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

sahi - how to access a specific table cell using regex when the cell doesn't have an id

here's some relevant, rendered HTML from a richfaces rich:dataTable for the image above:

...
<tbody id="invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:tb">
    <tr class="rich-table-row rich-table-firstrow row1">
        <td id="invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:0:j_id159" class="rich-table-cell wsS ">
            <input type="checkbox" name="invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:0:j_id161"></input>
        </td>
        <td id="invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:0:j_id162" class="rich-table-cell wsS ">
            X_TRQ_13144907
        </td>
...

the green code represents the first row's second column. the red code is a random id string generated by richfaces because in the xhtml/jsf file, there was no id set for the cell:

...
<rich:column>
    <f:facet name="header">#{msg['label.rcvrRefId']}</f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{trq.getRcvrRefId()}" />
</rich:column>
...

here's one way to access the element using regexp:
_cell(/invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:0:*/+"[1]")

invFormremoveTRQPanel:removeTrqPnlTbl:0 == the row identifier
/.../ == regular expression code
* == match any auto-generated id string, e.g. j_id162, this will match every column in the first row
so to specify which column (0-based) we want we write [1]

sahi - how to get tomorrow's date in the format dd.MM.yyyy

i needed a simple way to generate a date string so i could set a rich:calendar textbox input field using a sahi script, so here's sample code for one solution to generating tomorrow's date as a text string:
var $formattedDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
$formattedDate.add(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
$formattedDate = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format($formattedDate.getTime());
_alert($formattedDate);

which will give output like:
14.09.2013

it's cool how you can call java directly in the sahi code :)

thanks to the post how to add the specific number of days to a date which was obtained

sahi - regex how to specify an indeterminate row number for a textfield element in a table row column

i have a datatable that expands with a new row every time i click an "add new row" button, and only the new row will have an editable textfield input, so to generalize the sahi script code you can use a regex, so it will match whichever single row has a visible textfield input:
_setValue(_textbox(/detailForm:agrSCFactorsTable:\d{1}:SCF_nameIn/), $name);

\d{1} means a digit (number) with 1 in length, i.e. 0-9.

so that regex will match elements like:
_setValue(_textbox(/detailForm:agrSCFactorsTable:0:SCF_nameIn/), $name);
...
_setValue(_textbox(/detailForm:agrSCFactorsTable:3:SCF_nameIn/), $name);
...
_setValue(_textbox(/detailForm:agrSCFactorsTable:7:SCF_nameIn/), $name);
...

[SOLVED] sahi "for loop" not working

i noticed on the sahi "for loops" documentation page that the for loop variable "i" wasn't being declared with a dollar sign ( $ ):

for (var i=0; i<links.length; i++){
...

so when i wrote a for loop in one of my tests i decided to insert a dollar sign for consistency purposes (so all variables used the dollar sign):
 function setTimeFutureHours($hrs) {
    ...
    for(var $i=0; i<$hrs; $i++) {
        ...
    }
}

but when i ran the code, the for loop never ran. i quickly realized that i hadn't put a dollar sign next to the "i" in the middle, so i changed it and it ran perfectly:

function setTimeFutureHours($hrs) {
    ...
    for(var $i=0; $i<$hrs; $i++) {
        ...
    }
}

just out of curiosity, i tried the code without dollar signs next to the "i", like the documentation said and that also worked; you just have to be consistent and either use dollar signs on all of the variables in the for loop phrase or don't use dollar signs ;)

sahi - how to set a richfaces rich:inputNumberSpinner value and verify it got set correctly

* then clicks the "set time" submit button ("Sett tid" in norwegian)
* then verifies that the modal panel is closed--the submit button is no longer visible

    _wait(10000, _cell("routeplanListForm:routeDetailTable:0:rpName").innerHTML != $rpNameRow1);

sahi - how to get/fetch html text (textbox) input tag value

to get a textbox's value use .value
 
the variable $street is sent in with a value of "My Street 1":

    _setValue(_textbox("editTAParty:street"), $street);
    _wait(10000, _textbox("editTAParty:street").value == $street);

sahi - how to get/fetch html select input tag selected value and/or selected index number

to get a select list's selected index use .options.selectedIndex

UPDATE 20130902: .value didn't seem to work

if you want the selected option's value (label) use .value _getSelectedText(_select("editTAParty:role"))

which will give you the label text as it is seen in the browser, e.g.: "Despatch"

the variable $role is sent in with a value of 1:

    _setSelected(_select("editTAParty:role"), $role);
    _wait(10000, _select("editTAParty:role").options.selectedIndex == $role);

so if your code isn't using index numbers for setting the select, then use _getSelectedText instead:
_wait(10000, _getSelectedText(_select("editTAParty:role")) == $role);

sahi - use "wait" ( _wait ) to make your scripts *faster*

yes it sounds odd, but using _wait appropriately can actually make your scripts run faster, without having to worry whether any script command got skipped because something happened too fast (e.g. maybe because of ajax?) :)

i've found that if i don't insert _wait calls in sahi scripts, then sometimes certain operations get skipped, so my code used to consist of some guesstimated wait periods for certain operations, like this:
    _setValue(_textbox("editTAParty:contact"), $email);
    _wait(500);
    _setSelected(_select("editTAParty:Party_languageIN"), $language);
    _wait(500);

but if you use the advanced _wait functionality, then nothing will get skipped and your scripts will run as fast as possible. here's an example:
    _setValue(_textbox("editTAParty:contact"), $email);
    _wait(10000, _textbox("editTAParty:contact").value == $email);
    _setSelected(_select("editTAParty:Party_languageIN"), $language);
    _wait(10000, _select("editTAParty:Party_languageIN").options.selectedIndex == $language);

basically, these wait calls mean to proceed with execution of the next step immediately as soon as the condition is fulfilled (or after 10 seconds--whichever comes first).

10000 means 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds). i set a high number since i don't anticipate any operation in the app that i'm testing to ever taking longer than 10 seconds.

UPDATE 20130902

here's how you conditionally run a block of code in a sahi script (sahi_script2.sah), but only if that script first gets called by another sahi script (sahi_script1.sah).

    _writeToFile($weeklyDepartureId, "weekly_departure_id.txt", true);
