Problem with Open / Save dialogue boxes

[KMuller]

I'm having a few problems working with standard Windows Open / Save dialogue boxes.

1) If I use the 'Manage Windows Objects' or 'SMART Recorder' to click on a Save or Open button in the program I am testing, the action seems to get 'stuck' half way through the command.

The Open / Save window will open but TA does not see that the window has opened, so the step never completes and finally times out. The only way I can open an Open / Save window effectively is to use a MouseClick, which I am trying to avoid.

2) Once I have the Open / Save dialogue window open, I again use 'Manage Windows Objects' or 'SMART Recorder' to click on the Save button. When creating the test and using 'Run from this step' the action is performed correctly, the Save button is pushed and the window closes.

But when playing the test through from the beginning, the clicking on Save button action is never performed and the test sits there waiting, and eventually times out. I can then press 'Run from this step' manually and it will complete as expected.

I can't get you a copy of the application to use, but it is written in .NET Winforms.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello KMuller,

Warm Greetings from Automation Anywhere.

Smart Recorder of the current version of Testing Anywhere is not compatible with .Net framework applications. However we are coming up with the new version of Testing Anywhere soon which will be totally compatible with .NET applications.

As a workaround you can try using keystrokes instead of mouse clicks and mouse moves. Before inserting keystrokes please do check the keystrokes which will direct you to the appropriate controls.

For example: ALT+s (for activating the save window), TAB (for directing the controls to appropriate action field), ENTER (for entering the tabs) and so on.

You will have to try the keystrokes manually on the application on which you are trying to use Testing Anywhere. After finding the proper keystrokes you can create a task by inserting those keystrokes sequentially.

Please let us know if you need any help.

Thanks & Regards.

Any idea how long until the next release may be available?

I'd rather wait until a more stable and useful version was ready than have to go back and re-write all the tests using the new version.

Thanks.
