Hi I am trying to automate a GWT application every thing was going smooth but when i give some text value i am facing the error.

Here is my script and i am using firefox 3.0.5 version

_setValue(_textbox("x-auto-29-input"), "admin");
_setValue(_password("x-auto-30-input"), "password");
_click(_button("Login"));
_click(_div("x-auto-91"));
_click(_span("Roles"));
_click(_span("Users"));
_click(_span("User Groups"));
_click(_span("Resource Rates"));
_click(_span("Resource Calendar"));
_click(_span("Base Calendar"));
_click(_div("x-auto-255"));
_wait(20000);
_assertExists(_div("x-auto-255")); // THIS LINE HAS BEEN ADDED
_wait(20000);
_setValue(_textbox("name"), "test_1");
_wait(20000);
_click(_button("Save"));
_click(_button("Ok"));
_click(_image("x-auto-300"));
_click(_image("x-auto-302"));
_click(_button("Save"));
_click(_button("Ok"));

    Hi Vamsi,

    x-auto-xx ids should not be used for identifying elements as they will keep changing.

    Open sahi/htdocs/spr/concat.js, search for
    Sahi.prototype.isIgnorableId = function(id){
    // zkoss, extjs, xilinus, gmail
    return id.match(/^z_/) || id.match(/^j_id/) || id.match(/^ext[-]gen/) || id.match(/^[:]/);
    //  || id.match(/_[0-9]{10,}_/);
};

    and replace it with
    Sahi.prototype.isIgnorableId = function(id){
    // zkoss, extjs, xilinus, gmail
    return id.match(/^z_/) || id.match(/^j_id/) || id.match(/^ext[-]gen/) || id.match(/^[:]/) || id.match(/x[-]auto[-]/);
    //  || id.match(/_[0-9]{10,}_/);
};

    Restart Sahi, clear browser cache and record those steps again. Sahi will no longer use the x-auto ids to identify the elements, and will give you some other stable identifier, which should work across various runs.

    Narayan
