'Getting the Flex application ready for testing' in http://wiki.github.com/peternic/funfx

Can you please add details for 'how to get ready with flex app with the regular Flex compiler either with Flex Builder or the command line Flex compiler?'

Are we using same old 'AutomationGenricEnv.xml' or the new 'AutoQuickEnv.xml' for new version of funfx?

Peter Motzfeldt said...

Hi, sorry for this extremely late response.

I have updated the wiki now. And for you question about the xml file, it is now compiled into the funfx swc file, so you do not need to think about it.

But I have realised that we should be able to use a custom xml file if one wants to, because of custom components.

Hi,
How can we define custom components without the AutomationGenericEnv.xml ?

Thanks a lot for your work and your answer.

Regards

Peter Motzfeldt said...

Hi, I am currently trying to do a fix for that. I am making it so that you can choose by a specific flashvar if you want to use your own custom xml file.

It is out on github, but will document it soon.

taho said...

Hi,

Great! Thanks for your anwser.

I will try to figure it out from github.

Please keep up the good work.

Ok, i think i found waht was missing.
1. The test script was missing a include FireWatir statement
2. in browser/firewatir.rb you need to replace DOCUMENT_VAR with the lowercase version of it

I'm a ruby beginner and found this by try and error, so bear with me, if it is not the correct way.

Hi all,
I am a newbie to flash and watir . I followed your instructions as per the url:http://wiki.github.com/peternic/funfx

require 'funfx'
require 'funfx/browser/firewatir'
@BROWSER = FireWatir::Firefox.new
@BROWSER.goto("localhost/FlexTest/FlexTest.html")

@flex_app = BROWSER.flex_app('FlexTest', 'FlexTest')

#@flex_app.button(:automationName => 'Buttton').click
@flex_app.button(:id => 'a3120').click

Now when i run this watir script, browser opens , but the button click (or any other actions)doesn't happen. No errors are thrown also(The id and automationName was found out using the Adobe spy that will be shown down in the FF browser.)

I am using the following:
Firefox 3.5.6, JSSH 1.0 plugin, funfx-0.2.2.swc, Flex builder process (not FunFX with Maven)

Please help . Thanks in advance

I have identical problem as Ralf Bokelberg, when i change DOCUMENT_VAR with the lowercase version. All runs without errors, browser opens, but no action on page.
I try with windows and linux.

Hi Ralf Bokelberg (rbokel)

There is one more change we need to make in browser\firewatir.rb file

class FlexApp < ::Element should be changed to Class FlexApp < FunFX::Flex::Element

Unknown said...

Hi,

When i change ::Element ->Element and DOCUMENT_VAR to lower case.

Everything runs without errors but with no action i.e button is not clicked.

admin said...

Hi All,

What do you need to fix "DOCUMENT_VAR" ?
First step here is to use firewatir 1.6.2.If this does not help you will need to edit funfx\browser\firewatir.rb. Add "include FireWatir::Container" to the FlexApp class:
class FlexApp # < ::Element #:nodoc:
include FunFX::Flex::Elements
include FunFX::Flex::FlexAppId
include FireWatir::Container

Hi All,

I followed this tutorial at http://gravityblast.com/2009/08/20/flex-functional-testing-with-funfx-and-cucumber/. There are no issues in Safari Browser, it ran smoothly. But when I use Firefox, it throws an error. It looks like it could not communicate well with the Firefox. Here is the error:

I am having the same problem as lemuel.

I'm using Firefox 3.5.11, Firewatir 1.6.2, FunFx 0.2.2 with the mods suggested in previous posts (adding 'include FireWatir::Container', ::Element -> Element).

Any progress on this?

Hi Peter,

This is Neela Shyam. Using 0.2.2 version.
For combo box:-
when given as flex.combo_box(:id,'qCurrency').select '€'

`build_flex_locator': undefined method `keys' for :id:Symbol (NoMethodError)

when given as flex.combo_box(:id => 'qCurrency').select '€'
says - `method_missing': wrong number of arguments (1 for 2) (ArgumentError)

For link_button it says FunFX:Flex::Elements::FlexLinkButton (NameError) - in elements.rb file link_button is not available.

Struggling a lot in order to identify the elements and trigger them.

With 0.2.2 flexSpy and record options are coming, when try to record link_button it works there. Where as in code it's not working.

Please help me out.

code snippet:-
Watir::Browser.default="firefox"
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto("http://localhost:8500")
flex = browser.flex_app('app','app')

flex.link_button({:id => 'nextPage', :automationName => 'Next >', :automationIndex => 'index:11', :automationValue => 'Next >'}).click('0')
flex.combo_box(:id,'qCurrency').select '€'
