WebFT Known Issues
Record Mode
- Recording problems may occur when recording with Internet Explorer 6.0 with patch Q316059 installed.
Workaround: Install patch Q319182 available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/q319182/download.asp
- During recording, "Host certificates" or "Switch non-secure" dialogs may appear in mid-navigation. Clicking "No" on the dialog box results in the browser aborting the navigation.
In such instances, WebFT does not update the expected repository and the download indicator shows that the page was not downloaded (the Web page in the Expected Agenda Tree remains grey).
After saving and reopening the project, the Web page may appear black (to indicate that is was downloaded completely) in the Expected Agenda Tree. Attempting to run the project may result in unexpected behaviour when the navigation statement is reached resulting from missing statements in the Agenda.
- To record actions for a UIContainer or Table element, the following flag must be set to TRUE in the webload.ini file.
BM_RECORD_CLICK_ON_TABLE_UICONTAINER
- To record actions all MouseOver events, the following flag must be set to TRUE in the webload.ini file.
BM_RECORD_ALL_MOUSE_OVER
- To set the IE browser size manually, the following flags must be set in webload.ini:
BM_SET_IE_SIZE = TRUE
BM_IE_WIDTH
BM_IE_HEIGHT
- Auto Complete of both username and password is not currently supported.
- Actions performed on a new window, opened by a modal window, may not be recorded correctly.
Edit Mode
- When working on Windows XP, objects selected in Browser View are not highlighted in DOM View.
- On rare occasions, the Properties pane may not display all fields for a selected form.
Workaround: Close the JavaScript View pane and refresh the Properties pane for the selected form.
- In cases where text appearing on a page is not included in any tags (is located in the source of the page), WebFT is unable to select the text for verification.
Workaround: To verify the text, create a Page Level Verification text search for the desired text. WebFT will search the page for the text and report and errors as part of the Page Verification results.
- After adding a Message item, inserting text in the text field, and opening the Global Variables list, the arrow keys do not function properly in the text field.
Workaround: Use the Home, End, Delete, Backspace, arrows + Shift keys, mouse, or a multiline editor to edit the value in the text field.
- When working on Windows XP, objects selected in Browser View are not highlighted in DOM View.
- Generating the HTML View can be CPU intensive.
- Disabling nodes related to Area object may also disable connected code required for image identification. In cases where other Areas are recorded that use the same image, the project will not run because the image cannot be identified.
Workaround: After disabling the node, add the identification code for the image to the Agenda manually using a JavaScript object.
- On rare occasions, the Properties pane may not display all fields for a selected form.
Workaround: Close the JavaScript View pane and refresh the Properties pane for the selected form.
Run Mode
- After running an Agenda, if the message "script execution ended" does not appear in the Log Window, re-running the same Agenda may cause unexpected behaviour.
- If one of the iterations fails and is stopped in the middle when running a test with more than one round, the Update Expected Repository action (for any round) is not completed correctly and page previews are not available.
- Modal windows should only be run in Analog mode. To set analog playback mode, select Tools | Default / Current Project Options | Playback Settings and select the Analog radio button.
WebFT REPORTER
- When running WebFT REPORTER on Windows XP, the icons in Session Tree do not appear.
Other
- Saving WebFT projects and sessions to a root directory on an external device may cause unexpected behaviour.
Workaround: Save WebFT sessions and projects to a folder.
- If you receive the following error:
"Timeout waiting for last snapshot to finish".
In the FTPlayback.ini file in /bin, change the value of the following parameters:
FT_WAIT_FOR_LAST_SNAPSHOT_TRIES" to 500
and
BM_DOWNLOAD_RETRY_TIMES value to 1 (from the default, 3)
