This is not enabled by default for Chrome/Firefox. If the bounding rectangle of given control is such that it is overlapped by another control, you may not be able to click it. Use the dev tool bar (as explained before) for that browser to locate the control. Inner exception: Element did not receive the click, other element would receive the click. As mentioned in the last point, you can work around this by using the WaitForControlExist API on the given control. This should be simple to figure out using the snapshot in the Coded UI Test Logs. Since we currently do not track AJAX requests in our WaitForPageToLoad logic, it could be that the control itself appears after a delay. HtmlEdit editbox = new HtmlEdit (browser) ĮditBox.Text = “Waited for Control to appear” Search failure if the control appears after a delay due to AJAX request: To work around this, use the WaitForControlExist API on the control being searched. You can enable tracing and look at the playback logs) The control may actually be visible on the page but selenium API throws an error like following error like: “****** execution failed Element does not exist in cache” (This error log may be tricky to find. Contains based, so you may specify a substring of the entire InnerText if you think only that part remains constant across sessions. All you need to do is access the control properties from Coded UI Editor and delete say InnerText property from Search Properties Collection and add the same to Filter Properties collection. Here moving the InnerText/ClassName from Filter to Search property may work. Some controls such as Pane may have insufficient primary properties, such as null values for id and name. In the CrossBrowser plugin, we currently respect only TagInstance as a filter property for Chrome and Firefox, other filter properties are ignored. Moving a filter property to search property makes the search pass. If you know the nature of application is such that “Id” would not be a reliable search property, you can exclude this as a search property using the IE Property Configuration xml as shown below: (Similarly, for other search properties) Some pages generate random id’s for the html elements. Here we can see that id and name are different from the ones specified in test code, and can fix it accordingly.įrequently occurring scenarios: The search property changed since the last browsing session. Here you can compare the properties that had been generated for that control in Coded UI test, vs. This means that the control exists on the page but might be something to do with properties of the control In the image above, I have clicked on the search edit box on the Bing home page which also brings up details of the control in the dev tool window. You may inspect the properties of the control of interest in the other browsers using the corresponding Developer tools.Įxample, on Chrome, bring up the Developer Tools by pressing F12.Ĭlick on the inspect button (highlighted in red above) to inspect your controls. However, locating controls on Firefox/Chrome using builder is not supported. Locating control in IE is straightforward by using the CodedUITestBuilder. This is the first thing we would want to validate. Validating if the element with specified properties exists in the page:

You may get additional info about control search properties specified in test code from the Html logs, which will turn up as follows: The playback failed to find the control with the given search properties.

Here, I will enumerate some common failure scenarios and how to fix them: (I) Search Failure: This link is a good place to see an introductory session on troubleshooting your cross browser tests with Html Logs. I also assume you are familiar with Coded UI Test Html logs used for troubleshooting. You can visit this link which introduces cross browser testing with Coded UI Test, and also calls out the known limitations with this release. I assume in this blog that you have basic knowledge of cross browser testing with Coded UI Test.
