asp.net mvc4 RC resolve url in data-* attribute - asp.net-mvc-4

Since I have installed the mvc4 RC, the razor autoresolve url that replaces ~ by the application root does not work in html 5 data-* attributes. ie:
In ASP.NET MVC4 beta :
<table id="userTable" class="dataTable" data-table-source="~/api/user/Users">
<tr>
<td data-field="OperatorCode">
#user.Code
</td>
<td>
edit
</td>
</table>
was transformed in
<table id="userTable" class="dataTable" data-table-source="/api/user/Users">
<tr>
<td data-field="OperatorCode">
operatorCode 1
</td>
<td>
edit
</td>
</table>
but in RC it is transformed in:
<table id="userTable" class="dataTable" data-table-source="~/api/user/Users">
<tr>
<td data-field="OperatorCode">
operatorCode 1
</td>
<td>
edit
</td>
</table>
As you can see in this version the ~ remains.
Is it by design ? If yes, is there any configuration parameter to change in order to reactivate the resolution in html5 data-* attribute? I have no found the explanation in the release notes.
Thank you.

This also happens in MVC4 final. It makes sense that this is by design to avoid cases where you don't want to have "~" resolved for certain data parameters.
Easy fix is to wrap them in #Url.Content again, not as nice but it works.
<html data-root="#Url.Content("~/")">
PS. I checked the MVC4 source code. There are no options to enable resolving of "data-" attributes. "data-" attributes are simply treated as literals.

How to make tuples work in mvc 5, VS2017

My project was already on C#7.0:
and I already have Compilers and System.ValueTuple installed:
My view model WAS:
#model IEnumerable<GHCOMvc.Models.PriorAddressModel>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Address.Address)
</th>
</tr>
</table>
and it was all working.
When I changed it to this:
#using GHCOMvc.Controllers
#model (IEnumerable<GHCOMvc.Models.PriorAddressModel> List, BaseController.Modes mode)
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Address.Address)
</th>
</tr>
</table>
it gave the error:
Error CS8059 Feature 'tuples' is not available in C# 6. Please use
language version 7 or greater.
This isn't a core project so I don't have a Startup.cs file yet. I could add one to solve the problem, but I'm not clear on how to do that since this isn't a core project.
Updating to Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform 1.0.4 from 1.0.3 solved the issue for me:
Note I had to manually edit the csproj file to remove the references to 1.0.3 after I did this, to get it to build.
Then, in my view, I can do:
#model (IEnumerable<GHCOMvc.Models.PriorAddressModel> list, BaseController.Modes mode)
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.list.FirstOrDefault().Address.Address)
</th>
</tr>
</table>
I don't know your specific issue, but I've ran in to similar before when compiling razor files. Check your target framework. Remember, razor is compiled after deployment. I bet you'll see your issue resolved if you rev your target framework.

How to do with the elementID changing repeatedly in selenium?

How to do with the Element ID changing repeatedly in selenium IDE ?
this comes when I click in the button and refresh the page and click it again !

My web application develop with ZK ( Zkoss)!
any idea?
Try finding the element by xpath or by link text, not by ID.
by linktext:
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Link text")).click();
by xpath:
findElement(By.xpath("your xpath")).click();
I gouess in YOur situation linktext would be better.
This is a common problem that I find with certain web frames (e.g. Wicket) where the HTML id changes each time the web page is rendered. If the development team is on board with automating your tests, then there is typically a way to make these ID's static, solving your problem. Otherwise, as mentioned previously you have to use some other identifying tag.
Here is a good website to get you started on all of the available options that you have at your disposal.

Selenium IDE Loop Conditions

I am first time using Selenium for automating some developer tests.
I have some intermediate steps, which needs to run based on certain condition like a while loop
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>//a[contains(text(),'active listings')]</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
//while(delist elementPresent) -----------------------------
<tr>
<td>verifyElementPresent</td>
<td>name=delist</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=listing_check_all</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>name=delist</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>verifyElementPresent</td> ------------repeated step
<td>name=delist</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=listing_check_all</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>name=delist</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
//end while (i.e. delist element no longer present) ---------------
<tr>
<td>verifyText</td>
<td></td>
<td>No active listings found</td>
</tr>
One more question, can I automate this process from command line?
I can write a script (.bat/.sh) to automate the test case run.
Note: Please do understand that I am using selenium for the first time, just to automate few dev tests.
Selenium IDE doesn't give looping functionality, you will need to install an add on like this: https://github.com/darrenderidder/sideflow
There are plugins you can add to Selenium IDE that will help you accomplish loops. You can look at a list of plugins here.
I believe the plugin you're look to achieve the while loop with is called SelBlocks. I believe the Flow Control plugin does this as well. I've used this in the past with great success. A few things to note though:
(1) Don't expect documentation for these commands to show up in the Reference tab. You'll have to read the Selblocks Reference page listed with the plugin for examples on how to implement its commands.
(2) If you intend to export your 'Selenese' code over to Java, C#, Python, or any other language, these commands won't export over. You'll have to hard code anything you created that's directly associated with any plugin command('s) you used (i.e. while, for, if, etc...) in that programming language's native code.
Hope this helps someone out.

Selenium IDE not detecting the id

I am trying to run a test recorded using selenium IDE. The following html is generated by the IDE
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>css=span.blt-txt</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:svMenu:np1:6:cni1::disclosureAnchor</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:r5:0:mr1:gts1:gts_pc1:itFilterFieldValue::content</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:r5:0:mr1:gts1:gts_pc1:cil1::icon</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:r5:0:mr1:gts1:gts_pc1:tt1:0::di</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:r5:0:mr1:gts1:gts_pc1:tt1:1:astTreeSNo</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=pt1:r1:0:rAstDtl:0:cb4</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id('pt1:ptGeneric:ot1::_afrTtxt')/x:div/x:h1</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
When I run the test/execute command I get an error saying [error] Element id=pt1:r5:0:mr1:gts1:gts_pc1:tt1:0::di not found
Any ideas how I can fix this?
the id seems to be generated try not to use this id or use contain
(try to use other xpath)
i would use only the last word of the id (you need to check it)
3.you can highlight to see where you are
example for contain
./li[contains(.,'Model')]]
Using generated ID in a testcase is usually a bad idea. When the server restarts / data change, these IDs tend to change, too.
Anyway, your problem seems to be the classical problem with timing. Are your elements AJAX-loaded when something is clicked / after a page change? If yes, Selenium tries to click them before they get fully loaded. You should use waitForElementPresent before you click on the element that causes trouble.
Generally, using Selenium IDE for AJAX-heavy pages uses to get hard very easily. Consider switching to manual Selenium RC writing or, even better, Selenium WebDriver. You can have the best of both worlds - first click through your test in IDE, then export your code to WebDriver in any language, make required changes, add waits (implicit are often enough), you're done.

how to verify entire web site with Selenium ID

I'd like to verify that all pages of a website, meet the following conditions:
assertElementPresent --> div.box
assertElementPresent --> #footer
assertElementNotPresent --> msg-error
In other words, It has a header, a footer, and does not have any error message.
Well, I can do this using Selenium ID, but adding these commands link by link, or command by command.
What I'm wondering, if there's any way to configure these 3 commands for the entire web site, instead of adding one by one per each link.
Hope it's clear.
The commands would most likely need to be put into your script after every navigation.
Best thing I could suggest would be that when you're recording your script put a 'wait for title' command in after every link navigation as you're recording it. That way you should be able to open the script itself in a text editor and just do a find and replace all on the wait for title. So for example
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>css=link</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>waitForTitle</td>
<td>page title</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Then find and replace:
<tr>
<td>waitForTitle</td>
with
<tr>
<td>assertElementPresent</td>
<td>div.box</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>assertElementPresent</td>
<td>#footer</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>assertElementPresent</td>
<td>msg-error</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>waitForTitle</td>
