I have several UI test cases where the code looks like
Click …
Sleep 1
Click …
Sleep 1
.
.
etc
I want reduce the redundancy of code so that I write only the keywords and it automatically sleep one second after the execution of each, is there a way in RObotFramework?
You can set a delay for every test step you have by using "Set Selenium Speed"
Then you don't need to put sleep after every test step.

I have a test that was alerting because it was taking extra time for an asset to load. We changed from waitForNoRequest to a pause (at Catchpoint's suggestion). That did not seem to have the expected effect of waiting for things to load. We increased the pause from 3000 to 12000 and that helped to allow the page to load and stop the alert. We noticed some more alerts, so I tried to increase the pause to something like 45000 and it would not allow me to pause for that long.
So the main question here is - what functionality does both of these different features provide? What do I gain by pausing instead of waiting, if anything?
Here's the test, data changed to protect company specific info. Step 3 is where we had some failures and we switched between pause and wait.
// Step - 1
open("https://website.com/")
waitForNoRequest("2000")
click("//*[#id=\"userid\"]")
type("//*[#id=\"userid\"]", "${username}")
setStepName("Step1-Login-")
// Step - 2
clickMouseAndWait("//*[#id=\"continue\"]")
waitForVisible("//*[#id=\"challenge-password\"]")
click("//*[#id=\"challenge-password\"]")
type("//*[#id=\"challenge-password\"]", "${password}")
setStepName("Step2-Login-creds")
// Step - 3
clickMouseAndWait("//*[#id=\"signIn\"]")
setStepName("Step3-dashboard")
waitForTitle("Dashboard")
waitForNoRequest("3000")
click("//*[#id=\"account-header-wrapper\"]")
waitForVisible("//*[#id=\"logout-link\"]")
click("//*[#id=\"logout-link\"]")
// Step - 4
clickAndWait("//*[text()=\"Sign Out\"]")
waitForTitle("Login - ")
verifyTextPresent("You have been logged out.")
setStepName("Step5-Logout")
Rachana here, I’m a member of the Technical Service Team here at Catchpoint, I’ll be happy to answer your questions.
Please find the differences below between waitForNoRequest and Pause commands:
Pause
Purpose: This command pauses the script execution for a specified amount of time, whether there are HTTP/s requests downloading or not. Time value is provided in milliseconds, it can range between 100 to 30,000 ms.
Explanation: This command is used when the agent needs to wait for a set amount of time and this is not impacted by the way the requests are loaded before proceeding to the next step or command. Only a parameter is required for this action.
WaitForNoRequest
Purpose: This commands waits for a specified amount of time, when there was no HTTP/s requests downloading. The wait time parameter can range between 1,000 to 5,000 ms.
Explanation: The only parameter for this action is a wait time. The agent will wait for that specified amount of time before moving onto the next step/command. Which will, in return, allow necessary requests more time to load after document complete.
For instance when you add waitforNoRequest(5000), initially agent waits 5000 ms after doc complete for any network activity. During that period if there is any network activity, then the agent waits another 5000 ms for the next network activity to end and the process goes on until no other request loads within the specified timeframe(5000 ms).
A pause command with 12000 ms, gives exactly 12 seconds to load the page. After 12 seconds the script execution will continue to next command no matter the page is loaded or not.
Since waitForNoRequest has a max time value of 5000 ms, you can tell the agent to wait for a gap of 5 seconds when there is no network activity. In this case, the page did not have any network activity for 3 seconds and hence proceeded to the next action. The page was not loaded completely and the script failed.
I tried to increase the pause to something like 45000 and it would not allow me to pause for that long.
We allow a maximum of 30 seconds pause time hence 45 seconds will not work.

I want to run a single step in the my scenarios for multiple times. My scenario consists of connect and disconnect steps.
I have used the while loop to do a work around for it,but was helpless, as the test fails with 'Ambiguous match of "I tap on disconnect button":'. This may be reason as the test executes the same line "I tap on disconnect button" or "I tap on connect" multiple,which Gerkhin may not support as the language is repeating while the loop is running.
Here are the steps:
Then I select the item from the list
Then I tap on disconnect button
Then I tap on connect to reconnect
I want second two steps to be executes 10 times when the run the scenarios.
Can someone help on this.
You can make it like this
Then I restart connection
step def:
$i = 0
$num = 10
while $i < $num do
#YOUR CODE HERE
#DISCONNECT
sleep(3)
#CONNECT
puts("Inside the loop i = #$i" )
$i +=1
end
It should work if you use only one element of UI and you dont change it, on the other hand to help you in future if you have problem with multiply different elements in calabash-android use Table calabash-android construction.
Could you not just make the step definition
Then I reconnect 5 times
Step def
Then /^I reconnect (.*) times$/ do |repetitions|
repetition.times do
... your code here
end
end
In normal applescript, the script is executed down the page, and so any code in loops for every 5 seconds will only run while the loop is running - there is no way to have a single function run every few second regardless of what the script is currently doing or where it is in the script (that I know of). In cocoa-applescript, however, is there a way to run a handler every 5 seconds, at all times, no matter what it is currently doing? Here is what it should be doing in my cocoa-applescript app:
on checkInternetStrength()
do shell script "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | grep 'agrCtlRSSI:'" -- this being the script which returns the line containing the signal strength
set SignalStrength to result
set RSSIcount to (count of characters in SignalStrength)
set SignalStrength to ((characters 18 thru RSSIcount of SignalStrength) as string) as integer -- this to turn SignalStrength into just the number and not the whole output line
set SignalStrength to (100 + SignalStrength) as integer
set SignalBar's setIntValue_(SignalStrength) -- SignalBar being the Level Indicator described below
end checkInternetStrength
Summed up, it runs the airport command to check internet connection, turns this into a number from 1 to 100 and uses this on an NSLevelIndicator (100 maximum) to show current signal strength graphically. Now, there is no point having this run once or when you hit a button - that is an option, but it would be nice if it updated itself every, say, 5 seconds with the realtime value. So is there any way to have a process which runs every 5 seconds to do this, while still enabling full functionality of the rest of the script and interface - i.e. as a background process? Comment if you need more extracts from the script.
Example
In Unity-C# scripting, the 'void Update() {code}' will run the code within it every frame while doing everything else simultaneously, so a cocoa-applescript version of this might be an answer, if anyone knows.
I Dont believe this is possible but what I had a similar problem before, what i do, I have an external applescript applicaion that is hidden the repeats the commands, the only problem is, it wont send it back to the app, you'll have to make the external applescript app do it, like
display notification, etc..., in the applescript apps "Info.plist" you can add this:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
To make the app run invisibly, but sorry i dont think you can run a handler in the app its self
I have prepared a script in jmeter with ultimate thread group setting as start thread count:10, Intial delay:0, Startup Time:10, Hold Load:30, Shutdown:10. I have added aggregate report as listener. When i execute the script, samples# go above 10 for each samples. Does this means more than 10 users are entering.
Nope. You will have only 10 (concurrent) users. Jmeter never adds more threads than what we mention in the file.
This is what happening - Once an user finishes the test or a loop, as you had mentioned the test should run for 30 seconds - the same test is repeated again for the user. It will stop automatically after 30 seconds. This is why you might see more than 10 login requests or something similar.
If you do not want your test to behave this way, use Simple thread group and update loop count as 1.
i have a daily( 09:00am) box containing 10 jobs inside it. All child jobs are sequentially scheduled to run.
On Monday, jobs 1,2 &3 completed and job4 failed. And coz of this, the downstream is stalled and the box is running infinetly( until some actions taken manually)
But the requirement is to run this box again on Tue 09:00am. I heard of Kickstart attribute to kick off the box on next scheduled time irrespective of last run status.
Can someone tell about this kick_start attribute? Also suggest me any other way to schedule this box daily.
TIA
Never heard of the kick_start attribute and could not find it in the R11.3.5 reference guide.
I would look at the box_terminator: y that will fail the box if a job in it fails and the job_terminator: y that will terminate and fail a job if the box it is in fails.
box_criteria is another attribute that may help as you can define what success or failure looks like. For example if you don't care if job4 fails, define box_criteria: s(job3).
Course that only sets your box to FA where it will run the next time it's starting conditions are met. It does nothing to run the downstream for the current run.
Have fun and test, test, test.
