Sahi limitations...

Hi,

I've got a simple question: what are the limitations of Sahi in terms of number of step in a script ? Maybe with the size of log file ?
Because I've ran a script that add new rows in an array, and verify if everything is correctly added and for small numbers of rows it works, but if I go after 150 or 200, the script crashes (with IE6, IE7 and mozilla firefox...)

An idea ?
:)

    Can you post the error message?
  • lepierrotlepierrot Members
    The problem is that the RAM is sharply increasing and increasing again .. without stopping, and so sahi has to write on the swap, and the script crashes because there is a lack of virtual memory ...
    SO, no log file ... and no error, just script crash !
    It's happenning after a high number of steps ...

    i think lepierrot is right... the larger the number of steps the bigger possibility it crashes...

    Are your scripts using loops by chance?

    Specifically are you counting up the items in a table or something like that?
  • lepierrotlepierrot Members
    Yes I am, my script uses loops and counts the number of rows in an array, sets parameters in each row of the array..etc..
    Is there a problem with memory in that case?
  • StringyLowStringyLow Members
    Yes, I think there is a problem in the way the commands are constructed.
  • lepierrotlepierrot Members
    Great ... :(

    The downside for now is that you have to keep your scripts small.

    I'm trying to get the source to compile so maybe I can do a private build of Sahi and make some fixes.
  • tinchie8tinchie8 Members
    stringyLow, if you may have some fix for that... can you share it with us??

    Highly Appreciate it :)

    Thanks!

    Same for me, My script is really small and I'm trying to keep on following this way, but there are loops...
    I've got to run some tests on a gateway setting page... so there are some arrays with the number of devices that are connected to this gateway. There can be 200 hundred gevices conencted, and I have to scan the array, to set parameters in each row of the array etc ... so I've got a loop that's processed 200 times and this for each type of instruction...
    Obviously, does sahi has been made for this ?
  • StringyLowStringyLow Members
    Sahi is pretty darn useful because of the built-in asserts.

    I would suggest also taking at look at AutoIT:

  • lepierrotlepierrot Members
    Thank you, I will take a look at it :)

    Do you know if Sahi knows how to write in a file ?
    I want to find a solution to write in a file that is ever pre-written, do you understand what I mean ... :) ?

    In fact I have a software which I need to set to run some test with Sahi scripts.. And I'd like it to be set automatically when I set values in my Sahi script ...

    To sum it up, I'd like to run my Sahi script with my personnal values, and then that sahi write some results into a .ini configuration file of another software that is needed to go further with Sahi tests...then I launch my software and the parameters have been written by Sahi in the .ini file so that I don't need to set them again in this software ... do you think it's possible ? Maybe with AutoIt ?

    Anybody can help me out to Install Sahi Tool?
    Is it Helpfull test the Client server application?
  • StringyLowStringyLow Members
    Sahi also has functionality to write to a file as well:
    http://sahi.co.in/w/_debugtofile

    AutoIT would definitely let you write to any kind of file.
    The main drawback of AutoIT is that it is Windows-only

    Ok thank you !
