I have a scenario in which user enters text in a text box .
Now, when the workflow of the test case is executed,the user provided text appears in an image format after the test flow is fully executed.
This is actually how the application under test treats the input data.It represents the text in a non-editable format.I simply take the snapshot here for comparison purpose .i.e setting the baseline for my test.
Is there a way that I can store this user entered text in step 1 in my baseline data store and then extract the text from image as part of validation of the correct data provided by user in the test case conclusion step.
I have used two checkpoints strategies to find the right solution,just am not sure whether it actually serves the purpose.
1.Added Object checkpoint while script record ,here's the script
Call Objects.configPackage_success.Check(Aliases.Microsoft_ConfigurationManagement.SmsWizardForm.zpagePanel.zinteriorPagePanel.WizardPage.ActionsCompletionWizardPageControl.labelCaption)
I have enabled the text field for this property during record time.I hope it compares the text extracted from the object somehow.I maybe wrong.
2.Added Property checkpoint with script below
Call aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.Microsoft_ConfigurationManagement.SmsWizardForm.zpagePanel.zinteriorPagePanel.WizardPage.ActionsCompletionWizardPageControl.labelCaption.Text, "OleValue", cmpEqual, "The Create Package and Program Wizard completed successfully")
Again,it hopefully does the text comparison part.Not sure how it internally works.
Or do I have rely only on Region checkpoints for validation of my test-output with baseline image.
Thanks

I created an automated action (the model is base_automation) through the GUI
I'd like to do the same through a xml data file
The problem is: how do I indicate the time condition n xml ?
In the GUI I indicated a date field on the concerned model
The concerned model is an extension of project.task
The field indicate don such model is called "Scadenza", it's the Italian for expiry date
You can see that in the attached picture
How do I achieve that through xml ?
In odoo/addons/base_automation/data/base_automation_demo.xml there are some examples (thanks) but none of them use a time condition, they are all on_create
Is there a way to script a pair of dual-EELS SIs so that DM recognises them as siblings (say, for use in the "SI->Align SI by Peak" menu option)?
I have a script which performs a transformation on a pair of dualEELS SIs where the results are given in new images with all the tags copied from the original. The new SIs do not seem to be acknowledged by the SI options as a pair, however. A MWE of how this occurs is below:
image a, b
GetTwoLabeledImagesWithPrompt("Get SI", \
"Get DualEELS SIs", \
"Low-Loss", a, \
"High-Loss", b)
image LL, HL
LL := a.ImageClone()
HL := b.ImageClone()
LL.ShowImage()
HL.ShowImage()
Assuming that the two inputs are real dualEELS SIs. Attempting afterward to run a method like "SI->Align SI by Peak" on the outputs does not recognise the second SI as a sibling.
I suspect that my issue is in properly assigning the four EELS:Dual acquire sibling:UID tags highlighted in the image provided, however I have no idea how (or if) these are accessible from the scripting language.
Thanks in advance for any help you are able to render.
Yes, "siblings" in DigitalMicrograph are recognized by tag-checks and tagging of the Unique Image Id (UID).
Depending on the exact application/plugin, there might be additional tag-checks before a sibling can be accepted (i.e. "is it EELS data?", "is it spatially compatible?", etc.) but he prime-mechanism is using the UID.
A bit of background info
The UID is a set of four long-numbers generated at random whenever a new image data is created, and then subsequently stored with the data. It is "unique" by the assumption that a set of four randomly generated 8-byte longs are "unique".
If you create an image, save it to disc, and open it, the UID will be the same. (It is stored with the data.)
If you ImageClone() an image, it gets a new UID.
If you copy a image file on the hard drive and rename it, it will retain the UID.
Creating and using UIDs
The commands to get an image's UID are described in the F1 help documentation here:
And the example section even has a script showing how one uses UID to "link" data together:
How do you Edit a (binary EBCDIC) Mainframe file in the RecordEditor with out a Cobol Copybook.
How do you generate Java code to read the file using the RecordEditor.
Note: This is an attempt to split a question that is far to broad to give meaningful answer to
into a series of simpler Question and Answer's.
Try and avoid editing a binary file with a Cobol Copybook if at all possible. This should only be attempted as a last resort !!!.
Try and get
that Cobol copybook (or some field layout document) for the file !!!
Some general advise:
It is feasible when dealing with 10 / 20 fields in a record but not if there a thousands of fields in a Record.
Take your time do not rush the process. Try and get each step correct before moving on
Finally upgrade to the latest version of the RecordEditor (currently 0.98.4)
This process will also work for normal Text file as well
RecordEditor Layout Wizard
To start the wizard select option Record Layouts >>> Layout Wizard.
File Structure screen
The file structure screen has 3 purposes:
Get the File structure - It could be Fixed Width, VB, Windows/Unix Text file
Get the Record-Length (if it is a fixed width file).
Get the font (character-set / encoding)
The RecordEditor will try and work this out for you
Field Selection Screen
The RecordEditor will try and work out where fields start and end but
it is not perfect. You need to carefully check and correct its choices
On this screen, the fields are displayed in alternating colors
you create/delete a field by clicking on
use the Clear Fields button clear all the fields
you can change what field-types to search for using the various check box's (e.g. Mainframe Zones Decimal)
The Add Fields will do another field search
Field Definition screen
On this screen you define the field names and Types. You may need to go back to the **Field Selection Screen* to adjust the fields
Editing the file
Once the Record Layout has been defined, it can be used on the open file screen
Generating Java code
When editing your file, you can generate java~JRecord code to read the file
by selecting Generate >>> Java >>> ....
You can the enter a package-id + generate options:
and finally your sample java code is generated to read / write the
file.
Has anyone any good patterns for RSA Archer validation which prevents a user from saving the record when a given date specified is in the future (or past)?
Currently I am catching this using calculated fields after the data has been saved, in a data exceptions report. But ideally I would like to catch this early prior to the user saving the record.
I would suggest that you use custom object in this case.
So remove the basic onclick attribute of the SAVE and APPLY button.
In your custom object, check if the entered date matches the system date (or the time-zone you need). Set a flag. Based on the flag value, you can call the actual function call of the SAVE or APPLY button.
Hope that helps!
Alex,Tanveer is correct. You have to use a Custom Object with embedded JavaScript code to implement described functionality.
You will need to create a function that will validate the value entered by the end user and either accept it or make user correct himself.
Now, you have two options how to do it:
1. You can attach your validation function to the Save and Apply buttons as Tanveer described. I have shared a similar code in the following question before. You can review it here: LINK
2. You can attach your validation function to the element you plan to validate directly. So when user is done with given input element and input element loses focus your function will be called. Here is a sample code with jQuery:
$('#elementid').blur(function() {
// validate entered value here
// if required show a pop-up message
WarningAlert(msg, title);
});
Good luck!
FYI to start, I am aware of how to properly set up an update to a lookup, and am 99% positive I've done this correctly.
I know this because When I set the workflow to automatically start when an Item is Changed, then it works perfectly. But when I simply change this setting so it will automatically start on New Item Creation, it Cancels the workflow and I get a "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type." If both options are checked then it fails on creation, but simply clicking edit on the item properties, and the "Save" makes it work.
The workflow is on a Document Library and works as follows;
User selects the Work Task LookUp from a dropdown in the edit properties form after uploading, and then Saves the item (adding it to the document library). The workflow is suppose to then look at the Work Task LookUp selected, and pull the Account and Effective Date-Type lookUp ID's that Work Task item has, and sets the Document's identical fields to the same value.
Here is the code for the workflow if it helps;
If Current Item: Parent Task is not empty
If Current Item: Sub Task is not empty
Log Both are empty to workflow history list
Then Set Account to Work Tasks:Account
The Log Set Account to workflow history list
Then Set Effective Date and Type to WorkTasks: Effective Date and Type
The Log Set EffDateType to the workflow history list
This is all done in one step. I also added additional steps to test if the account and effective date type fields have been set properly, and if not to set them again. But everytime I run the workflow on change and it works, it always correctly sets these fields based upon the first Step (posted above) and the additional check logs to the history that they are not needed.
As an example, The lookUp for Integer for Tasks:Account is set to work as follows;
Date Source: Work Tasks (a list)
Field from Source: Account (a lookup)
Return Field as: Lookup ID (as Integer)
Find the List Item
Field: Title (from the Work Tasks list)
Value: Current Item: Parent Task (Which is a look up of the "Title"
Field from Work Tasks List, and is set to return the Value as a LookUp Value (As Text))
The Effective Date and Type setting is pretty much identical.
So anyone have any insight? I've tried running it as an impersonated Step, setting a workflow pause (for 1 minute), changing the lookup types incase I messed it up to start with, but ultimately the above workflow DOES work, but only when I set it to "Automatically start on the Change (edit) of an Item", NOT "Automatically start on New Item Creation" like I need to to do.
Oh yes, fyi, I am using SPServices CascadingDropDown on the Work Task and Sub Task fields of the doc Library form, but I honestly do not believe this has anything to do with my issue.
UPDATE:
I've talked with another developer, and he believes it is due to the issue that the workflow is occuring too quickly, before the item creates an ID for itself, which it needs to conduct the lookUps. He had me add another "Pause Workflow" to the very top of my workflow code (above the If conditions) and set it for 1 minute.
It then worked properly.
Downside is we want this to labeling to occur as close to item creation as possible. Because a view of the library relies on grouping based upon Account and Effective Date and Type. To add to this downer, Microsoft's Pause Workflow only allows for 1 minute or more, and then the timer used for this is often off, resulting in a pause longer than that. So far, every test is currently showing 2 minutes minimum on the pause.
A possible alternative solution for instantaniously populate the fileds is to use Javascript and SPServices to do the lookUp to the Task list to pull the account and effective date - type fields and then populate, but my Javascript is not very strong and I would need help doing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

The OP wrote:
I don't know if it is the ID for the item after further testing. I changed the start of the workflow to wait until a field in the item changes. I set it to wait until the ID field is not 0 (since you cannot set to null), and it still does not work.

6/14/2012 4:13 PM Comment System Account Waiting complete on ID
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Error System Account Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.
I have tried other fields as well, like document ID value is not empty, and it will wait, log it finishing the wait, and then fail.
UPDATE This issue has something to do with the Parent Task field. I have solved the issue without having to wait for a period of time by setting the change from above to wait until the Parent Task field is not empty. It then completes the workflow fine.
Anyone know why there is a delay though? I've solved it, but still don't fully understand what takes it so long.
The main fault has been solved (hence the answer), and the remaining point about the reasons for the delay would probably be a discussion point or not specific enough for SO. Any further clarification can be edited in here.
