Hi!
I have two comboboxes. If a user selects a certain value in combobox 1, the value in combobox 2 is reset to null so that the second combobox appears empty.
This always works if I manually click on combobox 1 to let the options appear and then click on that certain option to select it - the second combobox will redraw and appear empty.
If I do the same through sahi, the second combobox will not redraw but hold its previous value.
I use sahi in Twist, so it`s java:
browser.div("/.*/").near(browser.textbox("ID")).click();
browser.div("optionToBeSelected").click();
This selects the new value in combobox 1 and is similar to narayans suggestion here http://sahi.co.in/forums/discussion/2029/problem-in-record-and-playback-of-extjs-application/p1
The first line clicks on the image of the combobox to let a dropdown appear, the second line selects a value from that dropdown. That's not the problem, this works.
My comboboxes are similar to this ones: http://www.sencha.com/examples/#ExamplePlace:combobox
except that at senchas there are no dependencies between those comboboxes.
I let a testcase run until after the selection of the new value in combobox 1 and then let sahi wait. I see the old value in combobox 2. When I then click manually anywhere in the browser, combobox 2 suddenly shows empty and the old value is gone, like it woke up because of the click and refreshes.
If I rerun the testcase and let sahi click elsewhere on the page, nothing happens, combobox 2 keeps holding the value.
This does not happen regularly, sometimes it redraws, sometimes it does not. Waiting for the refresh does not help. I waited 2 minutes for the second combobox to redraw, but it did not happen on it's own, only when I clicked anywhere.
With sahi I tried clicking on the textbox itself instead of the image next to it, same behaviour. I tried with focus() and removeFocus() on the second combobox to "wake it up", same behaviour. I turned on traffic logging, but I could not find any hints. Also, I don't now what exactly to look for. At least I found nothing in response.body_unmodified_xxx and response.body_modified_xxx which seems to be related to sahi, so I took that as a good sign.
I also removed application/octet-stream from download_contenttypes.txt like narayan said here http://tytosoft.www51.a2hosting.com/forums/discussion/2276/values-of-combobox-arent-loaded-with-using-sahi/p1but same behaviour.
Any ideas?

in case somebody faces the same problem, this is not only the fix for angularjs but also for my sencha comboboxes:
http://sahi.co.in/forums/discussion/4635/bugreport-input-event-not-firing/p1
mop says there: "We have hacked the cocat.js locally and changed
Sahi.prototype.simulateKeyPressEvents
"this.simulateKeyEvent([keyCode, 0], el, "input", combo);" at the end of the function fixes the problem for us."
Now a dependent combobox refreshes it's displayed value if the value in the first combox is changed.
