I work on a program, which involves lot of clicking. To prove if everything works fine, i have to write tests in Actionaz. Mostly i use clicks, text and tabs. Problem occured, because i need to validate test is done okay, without looking the screen.
I know what i have to do, i just dont know how to do it. So example: i have to add a new client, with adding all information. I designed Actionaz where to click and what to enter. If there will be changes made in the program, Actionaz will keep clicking same spot, but this time, test may not be succesful. How to make Actionaz read, what is the correct outcome? (And notify me, that test wasnt succesful.)
Im sorry, if im not understood correctly, but i really cant find answers about my problem online elsewhere.

Intellij has a really neat feature, that lets me seamlessly extract a block of code into its own method. I can then give this method a nice, descriptive name and move on with life.
However, intellij also tries to find other blocks of code that are similar, and then tries to perusade me that I should also refactor them too, to use this new method its made. And then, when I hit the oddly-named "cancel" button (which implies the whole operation is cancelled, but it's not, it just stops asking about any remaining blocks), it leaves me looking at whatever the block of code it last asked me about.
I really don't like this feature. Here's why: If I'm say comparing two ints - the naming of the code block will depend on the context of those two ints, but intellij will find any comparison between two ints anywhere in that file, and then insist that this is also a candidate for extraction.
Most times it is not, and to make it worse, when I ask intellij to stop it, in a fit of pique, leaves me wherever the last comparison was, so now I have to navigate back to where I was working.
How do I tell intellij just to extract exactly what I selected, and do nothing else?
Please follow/vote/comment the issue created for this usability problem at YouTrack:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-233201
I am just thinking about command typeAndWait in Selenium, because I cant figure out any real purpose of it.
In what situation you type in some input and then the page immedeately starts reloading? I can imagine AJAX, but in this case the page doesn't reload - which is the reason, you have to use waitForXY commands instead of xyAndWait when testing AJAX...
But it was a long day today, maybe I am just dull now and the answer is quite obvious...
The google search while you type is the only situation I can think of where that would happen, except your right that the page wouldn't actually load, but there are some weird cases out there that I'm sure I haven't thought of.
I have exactly the problem described here:
From what I can see on the web, this is a fairly common complaint, but answers seem to be rarer. The problem is this:
We have a number of Excel VBA apps which work perfectly on a number of users' machines. However on one machine they stop on certain lines of code. It is always the same lines, but those lines seem to have nothing in common with one another.
If you press F5 (run) after the halt, the app continues, so it's almost like a break point has been added. We've tried selecting 'remove all breaks' from the menu and even adding a break and removing it again.
We've had this issue with single apps before and we've 'bodged' it by cutting code out of modules, compiling and then pasting it back in etc.
The problem now seems to relate to Excel itself rather than a single .xls, so we're a little unsure how to manage this.
I have managed to resolve it with the accepted answer, but now, when I send the VBA file to my colleagues, they have the same problem.
My question and my problem is - any ideas what to do, as far as it is really not a good idea to go to everyone and to debug every time. And I somehow do not want to add Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled to my macros.
Sounds like a ghost break. File saved one time with a break in there. What has worked for me in the past was to remove any breaks you see and manually step through the code (F8) through completion and then save file. Prob now necessay to step all the way through but I like to know I went all the way and didn't miss any.
As soon as you hit "Play" what happens in the background of the software? The code is already compiled and ready at this point. So when I press "Play" the code gets executed. What other things occur along with this?
I have this question as an assignment and would really like to know. Thanks. :)
Actually everything is loaded by script. This graph explains the process. Also the links below can be useful for you to understand all the background process.
Execution Order of Event Functions
Overview: Script compilation
Asking what happens when you press Play is like asking Coke to reveal the drink recipe. This is what they sell. You got that as assignment, fact is you can say anything and your teacher would lie to tell you wrong, since he does not know either (except if he works for a company that bought the source code of the engine).
What you can say, is that the OpenGl/DirectX API is initialised, registration of all event to the OS like Input, application data and so on, then all the Engine functioning, registering of the needed classes in memory, init of the physics, parsing of the opening scene YAML file, creation of the content and placement in space, for each item, if a MonoBehaviour, registration of all callbacks, all the debug code related to profiler and stack tracing, crash reports and many more...
Those are the obvious ones and I cannot have any clue of what is going on without using a tool to decompose the code. Problem, it is against the EULA and then illegal.
In every IDE I've tried so far, if I'm partway through writing a message and need to look at the code of another, the browser asks me if I want to save. But if I say I do want to save, it actually tries to compile/syntax check the code, and refuses to perform the save if it does not pass. The only way to view the source of another message seems to be to say "no" to save and have everything wiped. How can I look at another class incidentally, or save code I am partway through working on that might not build right now?
Smalltalk is a multi-browser system. You'll need to have lots of different browsers open. Smalltalk is opinionated. The system browser (Nautilus) doesn't make it easy to view long methods, steering you towards writing short ones. It doesn't make it easy to have non-compiling code in a method, to steer you towards making small changes.
Experimental/prototypical code you might want to have in a Workspace/Playground. That can save to disk.
We are aware that it is an issue for people new to Smalltalk. We tried some fixes, they were a lot worse.
For now there is no easy way to do that. The two easiest opting are
Make the current method syntactically correct and save it.
Open another browser. If you want to see a class or method that is in your current code, you can cmd+click it or use "browse it", "implementors of", shortcuts that will open another window.
Also in pharo you can use GTSpotter to quickly find what you are looking for and preview its source code
When you say "this seems like a pretty huge thing to be missing,
and it could be gotten around by just having the option to use
a regular editor" I'm afraid you've entirely missed the point.
Understandable, though -- happens to us all.
Or did. Perhaps it was long ago, but we
were all there.
You might be thinking about the task in terms of
scrolling a giant text up and down to find what
you want. Scroll up -- read a little -- scroll back --
and continue making your changes.
And when you say " I can't imagine any circumstance
where it is OK, in pursuit of any agenda, to throw away
the coder's work against their will "
you are spot on correct, of course.
Imagine -- scrolling around, making dozens of little changes,
and before you've saved them -- poof -- they're all thrown away --
a mistake, perhaps, but completely against your will.
That would be awful. We're agreed.
(In fact, the editor I'm using to type this
is like that -- I can scroll around the whole thing,
making little improvements, all over, but it could
all go --poof-- and disappear, All of it.
Fairly common occurrence, when editing the web.
)
So let's try another run through that same task.
You get one little teensy, DUMB AS A POST editor,
where you can only see one thing at a time.
And now you just want to scroll somewhere else,
for a moment, and come right back.
Which actually means that
you are attempting to look up a second method,
while already changing a first method
(which would require the browser toforget the
context of the first method, and move to the second).
The browser does not know how long you will be away
from this context. You might go chaining along from
place to place, stop and read an email, take a call,
and go to lunch.
So, the browser cautions
"Hey - want to save this first?"
as if to say:
"
Hey - I can't imagine any circumstance where it is OK,
in pursuit of any agenda, to throw away the coder's work
against their will.
So listen up, coder.
You want to save this first?
"
But you can't save it.
You must first look something up.
Conundrum.
Ah-ha! There is a list of methods in that other pane.
One of them is highlighted.
Not those -- that one.
Double click that one.
The one you're already in.
As if to say
" Thanks. Good catch.
Yes, I know - can't though.
I need to change contexts.
You stay right here.
And give me another context
to go wandering about in.
please.
"
Soon, I expect, they'll start actually talking.
