Ant with IE8

Problem:

When I run test a test suite through Ant it will not execute IE8 properly. It will, however, run Chrome just fine with no errors. IE8 Test cases run fine through the Controller or through the TestRunner (ONLY with Controller up, not sure if this is intended).

Ant: 
<project name="Sahi_Plugin" default="all">
    <property file="Sahi_Plugin.properties"/>

asdf=http but apparently being brand new I can't post links and it gets considered as a link so sorry about that.

The error I get is when IE tests begins to execute the IE8 Browser pops up but never opens to a page, it opens to a:


HTTP 404 Not Found: URL or Document not found (dns_unresolved_hostname)


HTTP 404: Your requested host "sahi.example.com" could not be resolved by DNS. The document at the specified URL does not exist.


Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

    After some additional observations:

    When I run IE8 tests using the Sahi Controller, if you check the IE8 browsers proxy settings you see that they are set to localhost:9999 for both http/secure. However, when I look at the browser for the ant that gets kicked off, it has no proxies set.

    Seems like somehow the settings are not being done the same from Ant to Sah Controller?
  • MonclearedMoncleared Members
    I can confirm that my problem for IE8 when I run via Ant that the following is happening:

    Automatically Detect Settings is unchecked (as it should be)
    Use Automatic Configuration Script (This is checked and it SHOULD NOT BE)

    Proxy Server --> Advanced --> localhost:9999 for http/secure are not set appropriately.


    Whenever I run the test cases through the controller all of this works as expected though. Am I missing commands?

    I've currently resolved my issue by modifying the proxyon and proxyoff to be this:
        <target name="proxyon">
        <exec executable="${sahidir}/tools/backup_proxy_config.exe">
        </exec>
        <exec executable="${sahidir}/tools/proxy_config.exe">
            <arg value="sahi_https"/>
        </exec>
    </target>
    <target name="proxyoff">
        <exec executable="${sahidir}/tools/proxy_config.exe">
            <arg value="original"/>
        </exec>

    Whether this is correct or not, I am unsure of.

    Hi Moncleared,

    You are using the older version of the Sahi target which explicitly specifies the browser process name etc. The current way is to pass the browserType which in turn is defined in sahi/userdata/config/browser_types.xml file

    The modified target would look like this:
        <target name="run-ie-tests">
        <sahi suite="${suite}"
              browserType="ie"
              baseurl="${baseurl}"
              sahihost="localhost"
              sahiport="9999"
              failureproperty="sahi.failed"
              haltonfailure="false"
              threads="1">
            <report type="html"/>
            <report type="junit" logdir="${junit-log-dir}"/>
            <createissue tool="jira"/>
        </sahi>
    </target>

    Your browser_types.xml would have an entry like this:
        <browserType>
        <name>ie</name>
        <displayName>IE 9</displayName>
        <icon>ie.png</icon>
        <path>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe</path>
        <options>-noframemerging</options>
        <processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
        <capacity>5</capacity>
        <useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy>
    </browserType>

    The useSystemProxy takes care of toggling proxy.


    Hope that helps.
