Sahi Installation issues

rglmrglm Members
edited November -1 in Sahi - Open Source
Hi,

Followed the installations steps from the website.
D/l sahi-v35 from sourceforge and unzipped
started the sahi server

**Issue 1 : cannot set the lan settings in IE as we are using IE 7 and lan settings is grayed out. One of the website pages mentioned that the latest sahi version handles this step intrinsically
?? but it did not in this case as I cannot invoke the controller by alt - dblclk (which is in the sahi.properties)
I wish there is another way of invoking the controller instead of being dependant on the hotkeys

**Issue 2: I was able to set the connection settings in firefox but still am not able to invoke the controller there either.

Now, am going to try to use the jar directly in my java programs.

I have been evaluating tools for our 10 year automation project that has been in WR and QTP. Finished Selenium and Watij so far.
It would be great if I could start something with Sahi too as I have heard many good things about it.

Thanks!

    Hi rglm

    usually it's enough to start firefox from the dashboard and start working.
    Check the output of the sahi.bat...
    You may have some proxy issues, please make sure sahi is listening on port 9999 and the firefox proxy settings are localhost:9999 and that the exclude-proxy field is blank.
    You may try other hotkeys... ALT+SHIFT+DblClick is working with me, although I haven't added it to the configuration.
    You may browse to http://sahi.example/_s_/dyn/SSLManager and add certificates for sahi.example and everything else needed.
    Thats all I got for now... please provide more information about your sytem, the steps you did, error messages etc....
    We'll get you through that :-) Nobody should have to miss Sahi :-)

    Tried the steps from this link : /using-sahi.started(forum not allowing to post full link) the sahi dashboard.
    After selecting the browser type - IE in this case, alt-ctrl-dbl click - does nothing except selects a few lines in that webpage.

    Followed all applicable items in the troubleshooting steps: help-the-sahi-controller-does-not-come-up - no luck

    what is wrong in my setup?
    Tried to run the sample java project - DriverTestCase.java from Eclipse - still no luck. sahi.jar is added in the classpath
    getting following error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at net.sf.sahi.config.Configuration.getPropertyArray(Configuration.java:247)
    at net.sf.sahi.config.Configuration.getScriptRoots(Configuration.java:234)
    at net.sf.sahi.config.Configuration.main(Configuration.java:681)

    Ok, let aside this java and Eclipse stuff, there are others who use Windows, Eclipse and Java and are more eloquent with these stuff :)
    but I may help u looking for errors:

    Close the dashboard if opened.
    Then please use cmd and "cd YOUR_SAHI_DIR/bin"
    start the sahi.bat and watch the output... it should state listening on 9999
    open firefox -> preferences -> advanced -> network
    all proxy fields: localhost and 9999
    exclude proxy needs to be blank! -> ok!

    so go to any page... maybe STRG+F5... I the Sahi favicon displaying? can u open the controller with STRG+ALT+DblClick? Is there any popup blocker?
  • rglmrglm Members
    Thanks globalworming..
    Iam in WinXP ;IE7;FF7;Sahi v3.5,no external proxy,no firewall,popblocker are all off

    Hi rglm,

    Kindly use http://www.google.com instead of google.com in the Enter URL.

    Check if this solves your issue.

    Getting below error in the FF page. and there are error in sahi.bat also
    Sahi Error - Connection timed out: connect
    Sahi could not connect to the desired URL

    This could be because "Iam not able to connect to Internet from Firefox(FF) even when sahi is not running. FF was working perfectly fine before installing Sahi.. will reinstall FF and see.
  • rglmrglm Members
    Update:
    Sahi has been working fine in my home network. Able to connect to internet from FF and able to open controller and run some sample scripts from Java

    Outstanding Issue:
    Iam still not able to connect FF-Sahi from my work-network. The work-network doesnt use proxy. They use certificate to route to the internet. I have raised a ticket to get more specifics from the network admin team.
    Meanwhile, wanted to check with Sahi team as to what could be done if the network is using certificates. What can I ask to the network team?

    Windows XP, FF7.0.1,Sahi v3.5. -
    Only FF and no Sahi - Able to connect to internet
    FF and Sahi - Not able to connect to internet - Entering www.google.com from the main page in FF - throws SAHI_ERROR with console /p - Oct 19, 2011 12:28:34 PM net.sf.sahi.RemoteRequestProcessor processHttp
    WARNING: Returning CannotConnectResponse for: http://fxfeeds.mozilla.com/en

    Would appreciate any help..
