Sahi Issue with IE8

arpit

Hi Sumitra,

OS : Windows 7
Browser: IE8
Sahi: 3.5

Earlier I told you about the problem of running test cases in IE8 and you asked me to check XPath parameter , how can I check that?

When I run test cases the terminals shows following error :

error: _click(_byXPath("(//html/.//a[./@href][(((./@id = 'Entra' or contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'Entra')) or contains(./@title, 'Entra')) or .//img[contains(./@alt, 'Entra')])] | .//*[./@role = 'link'][((./@id = 'Entra' or contains(./@value, 'Entra')) or contains(./@title, 'Entra') or contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'Entra'))])[1]"))

Window/Domain not found: popupNameFromStep=; derivedName=; windowName=; windowTitle=XD Proxy; wasOpened=0; domain=static.ak.fbcdn.net


And IE also shows an warning popup which says :
"To help protect you security, Internet explorer has blocked this site from displaying content with security certificate errors."
When I click it and choose "Dispaly Blocked Content" , it does nothing and shows same above warning pop-up.
I don't understand how these test cases are running fine in other browsers? ..please help.

Thanks alot. You guys are doing great job.

Hi arpit,

Is that you dont get the following error when you run the test cases on other browsers?

error: _click(_byXPath("(//html/.//a[./@href][(((./@id = 'Entra' or contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'Entra')) or contains(./@title, 'Entra')) or .//img[contains(./@alt, 'Entra')])] | .//*[./@role = 'link'][((./@id = 'Entra' or contains(./@value, 'Entra')) or contains(./@title, 'Entra') or contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'Entra'))])[1]"))
Window/Domain not found: popupNameFromStep=; derivedName=; windowName=; windowTitle=XD Proxy; wasOpened=0; domain=static.ak.fbcdn.net

If so, then you need to accept the certificates for IE8.

Kindly follow the below URL:

Check if this solves your issue.

Hi Sumitra,
Sorry for my late reply, I have done as you mentioned in above reply, i have accepted all the certificates but still i am getting this error :

''
When I fill in "lst-ib" with "agile media lab" # WSL\SecurityBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext::fillField()
error:_sahi.setServerVarPlain('___lastValue___4e9e7c0c2a32a', _byXPath("(//html/.//*[self::input | self::textarea | self::select][not(./@type = 'submit' or ./@type = 'image' or ./@type = 'hidden')][(((./@id = 'lst-ib' or ./@name = 'lst-ib') or ./@id = //label[contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'lst-ib')]/@for) or ./@placeholder = 'lst-ib')] | .//label[contains(normalize-space(string(.)), 'lst-ib')]//.//*[self::input | self::textarea | self::select][not(./@type = 'submit' or ./@type = 'image' or ./@type = 'hidden')])[1]").getAttribute("type"))
TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method
No trace available
<a href='/_s_/dyn/Log_getBrowserScript?href=null&n=-1'><b>Click for browser script</b></a>
''

I was simply testing Google search, and I made a simple test case for this :

Feature: Testing Google Search

@javascript
Scenario: Checking google's search
Given I am on "http://www.google.co.in/"
When I fill in "lst-ib" with "agile media lab" // Above Error comes on this line
When I press "btnG"
Then I wait for "3" second
Then I should see "agilemedialab"

Thanks in advance.

Hi arpit,

1) Have you enabled xpaths for IE? Look at _byXPath section in http://sahi.co.in/w/browser-accessor-apis

2) You seem to be using some BDD framework which is translating content into XPath which we try to avoid as much as possible. Xpaths are brittle and will cause you a lot of problems in maintaining your test cases.

And some suggestions/questions for you and your management:

3) The way you write the scenario is also incorrect because you are exposing too much implementation details in your scenario. To a business user, what is "lst-ib" and "btnG"?

Hi Sumitra,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I am using BDD framework Behat Bundle & Mink Bundle, these bundle are integrated with symfony2 framework, is there any chance that sahi scripts can be integrated with symfony2 framework?
I have read the documentation of Mink Bundle for writing test cases, so I am following the same procedure they mentioned in their Documentation. "lst-ib" is the id of input field and "btnG" is id of Button (google's search button).

Regarding Xpaths, the test are running fine in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, no issue of Xpath. Its causing problem only with IE, ok I will try to enable xpaths.

Update - It worked. I just replaced javascript-xpath.js with latest one.

Thanks a lot.
