I wrote a TestComplete extension to update Keyword-Test signature from TestComplete in to an external tool.
However, this action takes very long time. That's why I need to change the cursor from arrow to hour glass, and back to arrow after action is done.
The module doing the opperation is writen in js.
If I try to use the following code, suggested by TestComplete code completition
Win32API.SetCursor(Win32API.IDC_WAIT);
I got the error "Object expected". I.e., the js in the TestComplete extension does not know About Win32API object, despite the code completition suggestion.
Ommiting the Win32API. prefix has the same effect. Trying to create appropiate object via
new ActiveXObject("SomeKindClass")
fails, because I am not able to find appropiate name for the class containing some methode to change cursor. (I tryed, Microsoft.Win32, Microsoft.Win32API, Win32, Win32API and some other non-sence names...)
SmartBears description on writing extentions seems to contain no hint about changing the cursor in a js ScriptExtension.
Please appologize, if I overlook it.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanx in advice for your F1!
Edit:
A possible way to solve this is described bellow. However, I am not able to follow it to the end, because of lack of time. Perhaps someone can confirm or deny the correctness. That' would be great.
Steps:
Create a new vbs module in the ScriptExtension (or extend an existing one if any).
In
the init method of vbs module, load user32.dll, create prototypes for
the LoadCursor and CreateCursor methods of user32.dll. (See Tutorial)
You call those methods in your setCursor2* methods.
Declare the setCursor2* methods in the Description.xml as method in RuntimeObject of your namespace (See Script Extension Description file)
Call the methods in the js module YourNameSpace.setCursor2Hourglass(); and YourNameSpace.setCursor2Arrow(); respectively.
It is impossible to show an hour glass from a TestComplete extension.
The reason is, following quote, that comes from https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/extending/script/creating/specifics.htm.
"If your design-time action performs actions against the TestComplete
main window (for example, minimizes the window, changes the window
size and position, and so on), an error will occur. This happens due
to specifics of thread organization in TestComplete."
I guess, the "on so on" part includes changing the cursor…

I've got a language problem with my SAPUI5 controls.
If I execute e.g.:
sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("de");
My i18n files are loaded correctly and all labels are translated to German. But the controls are still in English.
The only way to get German controls is with the URL parameter:
sap-ui-language=DE
But I can't use a parameter in my case. Any idea?
Please note that sap.ui.getCore().setLanguage() explicitly states
The framework does not guarantee that already created, language dependent objects will be updated by this call. It therefore remains best practice for applications to switch the language early, e.g. before any language dependent objects are created. Applications that need to support more dynamic changes of the language should listen to the localizationChanged event and adapt all language dependent objects that they use (e.g. by rebuilding their UI).
Besides that, I fully support Nabi's answer (but I'm not allowed to vote it up).
I just would like to add that controls (like FilterBar) better should use the hook approach:
FilterBar.prototype.onlocalizationChanged = function(oEvent) {
// .. same bundle update code as in Nabi's proposal
}
Using the hook in controls avoids the need for adding attach + detach calls in init / exit and keeps the event registry small.
I can easily confirm the behavior you described by testing the Explored App Example. There, just open the console and hit sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("de");
I also checked the implementation of the FacetFilter and I would call this a bug in the Control implementation. It comes from how the texts are loaded inside the control. Just in case you are interested:
The message bundles all contain the correct translations for FACETFILTER_INFOBAR_NO_FILTERS (for en the translation comes from the "default" bundle):
messagebundle.properties
messagebundle_de.properties
The FacetFilter has a hidden aggregation called SummaryBar. The SummaryBar contains the text you see. Of course, this text comes from a bundle.
However, the bundle is initialized exactly once in init() by calling sap.ui.getCore().getLibraryResourceBundle("sap.m");. Here the API docs say:
If only one argument is given, it is assumed to be the libraryName.
The locale then falls back to the current session locale.
This means the bundle is cached and therefor changes to the localization (e.g. language) do not trigger the bundle to load a new translation file. Thus, we will always see the initial language no matter what we try (even rerendering() does not help).
A solution would be to fix the control by adding the following code right after the the bundle gets loaded inside the init:
sap.ui.getCore().attachLocalizationChanged(function(oEvent){
var oChanges = oEvent.getParameter("changes");
if (oChanges && oChanges.language){
this._bundle = sap.ui.getCore().getLibraryResourceBundle("sap.m", oChanges.language);
this.rerender();
}
}.bind(this));
You can try this out in the explored app linked above, it worked for me just fine...
I just opened an issue on github.
I am currently trying to create a Thunderbird extension that write the recipients of a draft into the title of the composing window.
The default behaviour of Thunderbird is Compose: [Subject] (translated from German, YMMV), but I'd like to have something like this: Compose to [recipient(s)]: [Subject], so my time tracking software can keep track of the time I spend writing emails to clients.
My general idea for this extension is:
Hook into every composing window that is created / opened (I know they are reused) via event listeners
For every window, listen to the event recipients_changed, if such a thing exists. Otherwise, it's a bit more work (monitor all recipient input fields), but that should not be a problem.
Also listen for subject_changed (easier, because it's only one input) to prevent the default title overwriting our extended title.
I have already created a skeleton extension (bootstrapped), and the startup function in bootstrap.js is actually getting called. Since this is my first extension to Firefox/Thunderbird, this is the first success! :)
However, the only reason I know the function is called because the many exceptions my different trials have thrown are logged in the error console...
I have read many texts, but the learning curve seems to be pretty steep.
I learned that at the time startup is called, pretty much nothing is defined yet (my first attempts were alert and then settimeout).
This answer looked promising, but it throws the exception 'wm' is not defined:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14291575/1886765
Maybe I used the code wrongly - hard to say for a beginner.
It would probably be easier to make a non-bootstrapped extension (I could overlay the compose window and wouldn't need step #1), but now that I've started this way, I'd like to finish it this way.
Maybe the solution is some XPCOM connector, but this field is still completely dark for me.
Could you kindly point me in the right direction?
I have this code in a JavaScript file:
this.tooltipWindow = new Window("__tooltip__", TooltipManager.options);
This gives me the TypeError: Window is not a constructor error in Firefox. Is there something wrong with this code and yes, how can I rewrite it, so it works?
Thanks!
If you have a type defined by the word "Window", it's likely interfering with the actual 'window' object that exists on all pages.
If you're actually trying to create a new 'Window', as in the browser-typed object, that way, then I think that you're entering into some unfamiliar areas to me...are you just trying to create a popup window?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.open
A quick search on that line of code pointed me to a library called ATK, specifically the tooltip.js file. At first glance it's quite a complete library, but it seems like you are only using tooltip.js. Since the Window class is defined in window.js you'll need to include that script as well to make it work.
I don't know the framework myself, so it might be wise to check if it even supports cherry-picking specific pieces of code like that.
We have an IE extension implemented as a Browser Helper Object (BHO). We have a utility function written in C++ that we add to the window object of the page so that other scripts in the page can use it to load local script files dynamically. In order to resolve relative paths to these local script files, however, we need to determine the path of the JavaScript file that calls our function:
myfunc() written in C++ and exposed to the page's JavaScript
file:///path/to/some/javascript.js
(additional stack frames)
From the top frame I want to get the information that the script calling myfunc() is located in file:///path/to/some/javascript.js.
I first expected that we could simply use the IActiveScriptDebug interface to get a stacktrace from our utility function. However, it appears to be impossible to get the IActiveScript interface from an IWebBrowser2 interface or associated document (see Full callstack for multiple frames JS on IE8).
The only thing I can think of is to register our own script debugger implementation and have myfunc() break into the debugger. However, I'm skeptical that this will work without prompting the user about whether they want to break into the debugger.
Before doing more thorough tests of this approach, I wanted to check whether anyone has definitive information about whether this is likely to work and/or can suggest an alternative approach that will enable a function written in C++ to get a stack trace from the scripting engine that invoked it.
Each script you load may have an id and each method of the script calling myfunc() may pass this id to myfunc(). This means that first you have to modify myfunct() and finally alter your scripts and calls.
This answer describes how I solved the actual issue I described in the original question. The question description isn't great since I was making assumptions about how to solve the problem that actually turned out to be unfounded. What I was really trying to do is determine the path of the currently running script. I've changed the title of the question to more accurately reflect this.
This is actually fairly easy to achieve since scripts are executed in an HTML document as they are loaded. So if I am currently executing some JavaScript that is loaded by a script tag, that script tag will always be the last script tag in the document (since the rest of the document hasn't loaded yet). To solve this problem, it is therefore enough just to get the URL of the src attribute of the last script tag and resolve any relative paths based on that.
Of course this doesn't work for script embedded directly in the HTML page, but that is bad practice anyway (IMO) so this doesn't seem like a very important limitation.
So, I'm running these Selenium IDE tests against a site I'm working on. Everything about the tests themselves is running fine, except I would like to do a bit of clean-up once I'm done. In my MVC3 Razor based site, I have a JavaScript file with a function that gets a JsonResult from a Controller of mine. That Controller handles the database clean-up that Selenium IDE otherwise couldn't handle.
However, I'm having a hard time finding any sort of documentation on how to do this. I know I can do JavaScript{ myJavascriptGoesHere } as one of the Values for a line in the test, but I can't seem to find a way to tell it to go find my clean-up function.
Is it even possible for Selenium IDE to do this sort of thing?
If it comes down to it, I can just make a separate View to handle the clean-up, but I'd really like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!
If you want to execute your own JavaScript function that exists in your test page from Selenium IDE, you need to make sure you access it via the window object. If you look at the reference for storeEval for instance, it says:
Note that, by default, the snippet will run in the context of the
"selenium" object itself, so this will refer to the Selenium object.
Use window to refer to the window of your application, e.g.
window.document.getElementById('foo')
So if you have your own function e.g. myFunc(). You need to refer to it as window.myFunc().
This can be very handy for exercising client-side validation without actually submitting the form, e.g. if you want to test a variety of invalid and valid form field values.
If you use runScript, that should already run in the window's context.
This works for me.
IJavaScriptExecutor js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
string title = (string)js.ExecuteScript("myJavascriptGoesHere");
Make sure your javascript works first before using it here!
Actually to access your page javascript space, you need to get the real window of your page : this.browserbot.getUserWindow()
See this statement to get the jQuery entry point in your page (if it has jQuery of course ^^ )
