    Hello Shrey,

    I don't see any problem with the audio being loaded via Sahi. You don't have to add anything to download_contenttypes.txt unless you want to download the mp3s

    Is it possible for you to point me to the URL?

    On the Sahi console, do you see any message like: "downloaded file to" etc.?
  • shreyshrey Members
    Hello narayana,

    no..
    there is no message being displayed on sahi console like "download file to"...

    I checked by enabling traffic log...the mp3 speech file is there in log ..and showing content file as text/plan instead of audio/mpeg as per MIME content type standard...


    thank for helping...

    Hi Shrey,

    Try this:

    1) Go to Sahi Dashboard -> Configure -> exclude_inject.txt
    2) Add

    .*[.]mp3

    at the end of the list

    3) Restart Sahi Pro and check if your audio files can be heard.

    Explanation: Since the mimetype is text/plain Sahi may be injecting its javascript into it. This causes the mp3 file to get corrupted. So force Sahi to exclude injection for mp3 files.

    Hi shrey,

    You can use the following script:
    _navigateTo("http://www.ipintentio.com");
_click(_span("Login"));
_setValue(_textbox("login_email"),"xxxxxxx@gmail.com ");
_setValue(_password("login_pass"),"xxxxx");
_click(_button(0));
_click(_div("PLAN"));
_click(_div("Project"));
_click(_link("Video"));
_wait(10000);
_click(_link("Synchronous Circuits"));
_wait(10000);
_click(_image("playa.png"));

    Basically you need to include a wait statement as it takes some time to buffer the audio.

    Let me know if this solves your issue.

    Hi sumitra,

    Thanks for helping..
    Actually I want test for autoplay button . There is a button on that web page which is for autoplay of all slides..I want to test that , after completing the speech of the current slide it should go to the next slide and so on..

    but without playing mp3 speech It will not run properly and and shows error message..

    Hi Shrey,

    Its not possible to record an audio using Sahi.

    You can however, listen to the audio manually and verify the functionality. You just need to add a wait statement while the audio is being played. This way, Sahi will stop execution for the duration while you listen to the audio.

    Hi Sumitra,

    Thank for quick response.

    Yeah I know that its not possible to record an audio using Sahi. but can I use _wait() in a such a way that it will wait till that mp3 speech of the current slide gets over playing??..
    so if an auto play is on it will automatically go to the next slide and I can check for that..

    but here problem is , the mp3 speech is not being played so, autoplay will not work untill it gets over completing that speech and because of that it will not go to the next slide, hence test fails...

    I already created the script for testing but the main problem is that I cant play mp3 while it runs through sahi..

    Hi Sumitra,

    Could you find any solution for my problem??

    Thank a lot for your helping hand..

    Hi shrey,

    Try the following code: 
    <browser>
function verifyPlayState(){
    var state = soundManager.getSoundById('__smobj___' + __curr_vid_slide).playState;
    _sahi._debug("state:" + state);
    if (state == 1){
        verifyPlayState();
    } else {
        return;
    }
}
</browser>

function fnPlay(){
    _click(_link("Next"));
    _click(_image("playa.png"));
    _call(verifyPlayState());
}

_navigateTo("http://www.ipintentio.com");
_click(_span("Login"));
_setValue(_textbox("login_email"),"xxxx@gmail.com ");
_setValue(_password("login_pass"),"xxxx");
_click(_button(0));
_click(_div("PLAN"));
_click(_div("Project"));
_click(_link("Video"));
_wait(10000);
_click(_link("Synchronous Circuits"));
_wait(10000);
_click(_image("playa.png"));
_wait(10000, _image("stopa.png"));
_log("new audio");
_call(verifyPlayState());
for(var $i=0;$i<5;$i++) fnPlay();

    Hi Shrey and Sumitra,

    The solution proposed is not an optimal one. In this case, till the condition is met, the application is going to keep checking for the state without any time gap. This will cause your browser to stop reacting or hit large CPU usage.

    You could try with just
    function waitTillAudioFinishes() {
  //  Let the soundmanager shift to 1 for audio to start
  _wait(100000, soundManager.getSoundById('__smobj___' + __curr_vid_slide).playState==1); 
  // wait till audio ends
  _wait(100000, soundManager.getSoundById('__smobj___' + __curr_vid_slide).playState==0);
}

    and call

    waitTillAudioFinishes()

    where needed.

    Eg.
    function fnPlay(){
    _click(_link("Next"));
    _click(_image("playa.png"));
    waitTillAudioFinishes();
    }
