Sahi Support for Win8 and IE10
Hi
I have a requirement to develop cross-browser test automation suite for web based application. The standard operating environment (SOE) for the application is Win XP and IEv8 at the moment and we are going to switch to new SOE - Windows 8 and IE v10.
Does Sahi support Windows 8 and IE v10? Has anyone implemented Sahi in Windows 8 and IE10 before? Appreciate any information in this regard.
Thanks first..

Amit

Sahi is designed such that it is browser and OS independent for most of its functionality. You can go ahead and use Sahi, and may consider using Sahi Pro which comes with updates and support.

Im also facing problem with IE
Despite i have configured proxy setting also, when i open IE from sahi dashboard it displaying error like
---"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"---
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
I am using Sahi OS v35. After sahi installation, I am able to run the previuosly created sahi scripts via command prompt but I am not able to view the sahi controller. Pressing 'alt' key and mouse doubleclick does not bring up the sahi controller on windows 8 machine with IE10.
Please help to resolve the issue.

I have the same problems like amitsjoshi7 and gaveyom.
1-) I am not able to view the sahi controller. Pressing 'alt' key and mouse doubleclick does not bring up the sahi controller on windows 8 machine with IE10.
2-) I have configured proxy setting also, when i open IE from sahi dashboard it displaying error like
---"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"---
3-) Scripts which runs successful with "win7 and i.e.8" does not runs with "win8 and i.e.10"
Can someone help us?
Even I'm not able to get Sahi Controller after upgrading to IE10 on Win 7 professional. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks,
Siva
Your browser_types.xml would look something like
<browserType>
<name>ie</name>
<displayName>IE</displayName>
<icon>ie.png</icon>
<path>$ProgramFiles (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>
<options>-noframemerging</options>
<processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
<useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy>
<capacity>5</capacity>
</browserType>
Try removing the (x86) from the path so that your new IE configuration looks like:
<browserType>
<name>ie</name>
<displayName>IE</displayName>
<icon>ie.png</icon>
<path>$ProgramFiles\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>
<options>-noframemerging</options>
<processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
<useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy>
<capacity>5</capacity>
</browserType>
This should solve your issue with any IE version on Win 8.
It's true that the proxy settings can be set manually, this tool is very useful - can you atleast publish the source code so we could look into it?
Thanks,

I can't downgrade due to other application dependencies but you can either downgrade Java, or run with something like Selenium (with browser support limited to FireFox unless you're willing to do a LOT of configuration to get Web Driver running) until Sahi catches up...
Which brings up the question, @Pratyush_Tyto or @vvdwivedi, any timeframe for JRE 1.7 support to solve some of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatibility issues?
Can you share what issue was it that you were facing and what configuration change fixed it so that others can look at it if its related to their problem. As you said, Sahi shouldn't have a problem working with IE10 in Windows 8 with Java 1.7.
Also, amitsjoshi7, Sahi v3.5 is an outdated version and doesn't have several bugfixes and features which are there in Sahiv4.4. I would suggest upgrading the version to the latest.

In some version of java 1.7 there is a change that RSA keys with size 1024 or less are not allowed.
It will cause that certification keys with too short RSA key are rejected.
There is two choices to fix it.
a) Update certification key to be stronger.
b) Disable the setting from your java 1.7 configuration file. Address is:
C:\Program Files(x86)\java\jre7\lib\security\java.security
In that file disable the following line by adding # in front of it:
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024
