switching request and response using keyboard in SOAPUI - keyboard-shortcuts

i'm using the free version of SoapUi
i really want to switch from the request and response windows using keyboard only
i found that ctrl+alt+tab should do the work but it seems that the windows shortcut is blocking it
how can i work around this problem?

Soapui version 5.2.0
Ctrl+tab - takes the cursor out of the active request/response.
Ctrl+tab+tab - switches the focus from request to response and vice versa if the cursor is not present in the active request/response.
Ctrl+tab+tab+tab - switches the focus from request to response and vice versa if the cursor is present in the active request/response.

Try Alt-Enter

Random high content download time in chrome?

We have an API which randomly takes high content download time in chrome, It works fine always in firefox and takes an only few ms. The response size is 20kb uncompressed and 4kb compressed. The same request also works fine using curl.
Things that we have tried:
Disabling If-None-Match header to disable cache response from the browser.
Trying various compressions (gzip, deflate, br).
Disabling compression.
Disabling all chrome extensions.
The same request works fine sometimes on chrome but randomly returns very high content download time.
We are unable to understand the root cause of this issue. What are the other things we can try to minimize this time?
I made three requests here and the 3rd one took the most time (before the last spike). CPU does not seem to be maxing out for a longer period of time. Most of the time is idle time.
Also, When replaying the call using Replay XHR menu, the Content download period drops from 2s to 200 ms.
Are you by chance trying to implement infinite scrolling? If you are, try dragging the scroll bar instead of using the mouse wheel. For some reason, Chrome seems to struggle with mouse scroll events. If the scroll bar worked just fine, keep reading.
This post provides a detailed walkthrough of someone experiencing something similar - https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/7934
I had attached a watcher on the scroll event which would trigger an AJAX request. I had throttled the request and could see that only 1 was being sent. I watched my dev server return the response within a few ms but there would be a 2 second delay in chrome. No render, no api calls, no and scripts executing. But the "Content Download" would take 3 seconds for 14kb. No other browser had this issue.
I stumbled upon suggestions that using requestAnimationFrame instead of setTimeout would solve the problem. That approach seems that approach works when the "Waiting" or green is significant, not so much for the "Content Download" or blue.
After hours of digging, I tried conditionally calling e.preventDefault() on the mousewheel event and to my amazement, it worked.
A few things to note:
1) I did not use the mousewheel event to make the api call. I used the scroll event along with throttling.
2) The mousewheel event is non-standard and should not be used. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mousewheel
3) BUT in this case, you have to watch and handle the mousewheel event because of chrome. Other browsers ignore the event if they don't support it and I have yet to see it cause an issue in another browser.
4) You don't want to call preventDefault() every time because that disables scrolling with a mouse :) You only want to call it when deltaY is 1 if you are using vertical scroll. You can see from the attached image that deltaY is 1 when you basically can't scroll anymore. the mousewheel event is fired even though the page cannot scroll. As a side note, deltaX is -0 when you are scrolling vertically and deltaY is -0 when scrolling horizontally.
My solution:
window.addEventListener("mousewheel", (e) => {
if (e.deltaY === 1) {
e.preventDefault();
}
})
That has been the only solution that I've seen work and I haven't seen it mentioned or discussed elsewhere. I hope that helps.

I think you may be doing it wrong.™
Fundamentally, if this really only happens with Chrome, then perhaps the client-side code is to blame, of which you don't reveal any details.
Otherwise, you are trying to debug what you present as a backend condition (based on the choice on the nginx tag) with front-end tools:
Have you tried using tcpdump(8) to troubleshoot the issue? What packets gets exchanged and at what times?
Have you tried logging the times of the request being received and processed by nginx? E.g., $request_time?
Where is the server located? Perhaps you're experiencing packet loss, which may require timeouts and retransmission of some TCP packets, which invariably will introduce a random delay?
Finally, the last possibility is that the field doesn't mean what you think it does -- it sounds like it may take a hit from CPU load, as this is the result of the XMLHTTPRequest (XHR) processing -- perhaps you run some advertising with user tracking that randomly consumes a significant amount of CPU, slowing down your metrics?

Capybara Selenium Navigate To URL Hangs With Popup Alert on Safari

At the end of my tests Capybara automatically navigates to "about:blank" in order to set up the next test. Sometimes the application I'm testing will throw a popup alert if the user leaves the page (which is expected). I have some code to handle this:
begin
page.driver.browser.navigate.to("about:blank")
page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept
rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoAlertPresentError
# No alert was present. Don't need to do anything
end
This works fine on Firefox, Chrome, and IE. But for some reason on Safari the navigate command hangs, I assume because of the popup. Anyone know a workaround for this?
There is no simple workaround for this at this time in any version of Selenium language bindings. It is a known issue the Selenium team is not interested in resolving. Fundamentally, it is due to the architecture of Safari and consequently the architecture of the Safari Driver.
The JavaScript of the Safari Driver extension does not know about most of the alerts and popups and dialogs that appear as modal Cocoa layer windows.
It also cannot interact with them.
There is a way but it won't be easy and nobody's done it.
You would need to use Cocoa.
So you would want to use RubyCocoa in this case.
(or PyObjC if you used Python)
You would then possibly also want a sidecar app actually written in Objective-C.
The trick would be to use the AX (Accessibility API) and a separate process to observe if there is an alert as the front window and poke at its labels and buttons' text as visible to the AX APIs.
AX APIs are probably exposed in RubyCocoa via the ScriptingBridge.
However, you would need to add your 'app' to the Security preference pane's list of things allowed to control the computer.
With that, you could detect the window and handle it.
It could be fairly brittle across web sites, but if built well, you could handle expected conditions.
You could try to confirm like this which I believe should work across browsers
# click ok to confirm
page.evaluate_script('window.confirm = function() { return true; }')

Verifying toasts using Appium , and get server reaction to button clicks

i'm new to android automation testing and i recently started to work with Appium.
I use it for android native app automation.
I have 2 question -
is there a way to verify toasts?
the latest posts i saw which referred to this issue are from the mid of 2014
and i wanted to know if there's something new in this subject before i will find another tool to run my tests with (as i understand selendroid can verify toasts).
is there a way to catch the http request which my app sends to the server when i'm pressing a button, during the automatic test?
something like a listener which works in the backround and wait for clicks?
tnx
To verify toast messages you can use one of image recognition libraries. For ruby I use RTesseract together with image processor RMgick
Idea is simple:
make toast message to appear
take few screenshots
iterate over taken screenshots and look for text
You may play with image processing, to increase recognition quality.
Here you can find code snippet which I use in my framework: link

Safari 6's New Developer Toolbar doesn't show Form Data in XHR/AJAX Requests

Safari recently went to version 6 (Lion/Mtn Lion) and they've changed over from the standard webkit dev tools to one that's much more XCode looking, my problem other than the OCD of not liking things change is that in the resource tab (or anywhere you can track down the DataService.aspx/AJAX calls) I can no longer see the form data that I am passing.
Can anyone point me to where I can find that data so I don't have to console out my params when I'm testing new data service/backend calls?
I've logged a bug with Apple, they've marked it as a duplicate so hopefully they've received enough requests to fix this, until then I'm continuing to use chrome as the webkit developer is the same as safari's old version.
You can find this info in Instrument tab (stop-watch icon). In the left sidebar thers Timelines row, click the grey circle (record button) on the right. Then click to Network Requests where you see all reqs, and you have to click small icon on the right oc request to display response headers and all form data are available in right panel. Panel can be hidden same as left one (in case you dnt see it).
Unfortunately there are no query pamaters listed, according to this disscussion. I belive its a bug in safari
Edit 15.May 2013: This bug was fixed in Safari 6.0.3.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to show the request parameters.
This goes even further. I can't see the JSON response data either (no clickable arrows to show the containing Javascript objects within the JSON, just pure text)
I think we have to switch to Firefox /w Firebug or regular Webkit in order to get XHR monitoring...
Guys if you want to see post data in safari 6 which is not possible right now, install the firebug lite extension and there you go you have the post data.
I used it and it works great with safari 6
Actually the request headers, response headers and query parameters are in the details sidebar on the right when using the resources view or if you click to see the content of a request in the Timelines/Network Requests view. Took me a few minutes to find that too.
If you need to see what the device is actually sending and your server is on a Windows Machine I use http://www.Wireshark.org and check on the server side of things. No interpretation by any WebKit stuff and very valuable (such as issue with iOS and the 'Blob' data). Similar network snooping should exist on Mac as well.

How to check ready state for Firefox using RFT

I have been working on a web app, and it was designed for Firefox only.
The getProperty(".readyState") always return 4 >> READY even if the page is still loading.
I already tried the following:
- image comparison using Robot (NO LUCK)
- waitForExistence
readyState is an IE property and it seems it is not working properly using Firefox.
any help from the experts are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try using waitForExistence on some object on the page that signifies that it is ready. That is, rather than waitForExistence on the page itself, waitForExistence on a child object of that page. For example, if a certain link or button is only available when the page is ready, sync on that.
If this is a page with asynchronous requests running in the background, RFT does have functions which allow you to sync on completion of ajax requests. See the RFT online help docs for ajax support.
