Hi peter,
I had used funfx 0.2.2 4-5 weeks back and my automation using that version was working well!
Since after that I had to test automation on IE, so I switched back to older version of funfx. Now again I am using latest version (0.2.2) but now I am having same problem as Panni had in last post July 4, 2009 2:12 PM (No error, no actions take place in automation).
Plz help me. What software I have to install Or changes I have to make.

Thanks and Regards,
Kaustubh

2009-07-12T08:20:55.096-07:00

Hi peter,

I was able to automate the application successfully when it directly loads in HTML wrapper (i.e., first page application has swf file). But I am unable to recognise the objects in swf when it is present in 2nd/3rd page(in middle) of website.

I am using the @flex = @ff.flex_app('application_id','application_name') in the script just before the page with swf loads. but still I am unable to access objects. Please help!!

Hi Peter/ Toolsmith,

Thanks for the software. I have succeeded in automating the sample application.

But when I tried to implement the same on another application, I found that the swf used in the application doesn't have application_id, it has only application_name. I was able to record the actions on it, but when I am using the same action script in ruby program the actions are not replayed. I guess if the ID of the swf is the main problem.

Can any one please help me, how to assign ID to the swf application.

Hi Toolsmith / Peter,

I have succeeded in finding the application-id and application-name. Now I am struck with below thing,

Actuall I have built a small sample swf file and deployed the html wrapper in tomcat server. The swf have a button labeled 'Click' and :id=>'Btn' and when clicked on it, a label will get visible and display a message.

I have written below code for this to automate,

require 'funfx'
require 'funfx/browser/firewatir'

@ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
@ff.goto("http://localhost:8080/Myproject/bin-debug/Myproject.html")

@flex = @ff.flex_app('Myproject', 'Myproject')
#@flex.button(:automationName => 'Click').click
@flex.button(:id => 'Btn').click

When I run the above code, its not throwing any error but simply opened the html file having swf and then no action is performed. As per my code the button 'Click' should be clicked - but its not happening and also to my surprise no error is generated.

Please help me in moving forward with automation.

A quick response will help me a lot .. I only find time on weekends to explore the things!!

Hi Toolsmith,

Thanks for the information. Seems like still funfx0.2.2 have problems with IE 7.0, I got unintialised constant errors when tried. Hence I shifted to Firefox now and its working. I am successfull to automate the application till I reach the page with swf file, but can u plse tell me how to use below syntax to access objects in SWF ?

"@flex = @ff.flex_app('my-funfx-flex-application-id', 'my-funfx-flex-application-name')"

Please eloborate on what is "application-id" and "application-name" ... :(

Hi peter,

Could you please look in to my above request and provide info, if the V0.2.2 IE issue is fixed. And also I believe that the number steps using v0.0.4 has been reduced in v0.2.2 (as per the conversation with Rashmit). Can u please provide brief steps(3 to 4) about Flexadapter and agentprocess.swc etc.. inclusions using v0.2.2. This would help beginners like me alot as we do not have to know the earlier process :).

2009-06-24T14:15:51.810-07:00

Hi Peter/ToolSmith/Rashmi

Anyone please tell me if the issue with IE using V0.2.2 is now fixed? I am just now started automating my application, I have v0.0.4 with me and I strongly need to use only IE 7.0. Please let me know if I can use v0.2.2(latest version as per my knowledge) now??

Also any info about newer version than v0.2.2(if any) could serve the purpose?

Finally, it would be great help iff any one can provide me direct links to download v0.2.2 and any newer version.

Please respond ASAP as I am planing to start it today !!

Thanks,
Panni

Hi

You are mssing the step where funfx finds the actual flex object after the @ff.goto method call

@ie = @ff.flex_app('my-funfx-flex-application-id', 'my-funfx-flex-application-name')

Hope this helps :-)

2009-06-10T06:42:31.952-07:00

Instead of @ff.text_field(:id=>"tTextArea").set(@name)
try @ff.text_area(:id=>"tTextArea").set(@name)

yes it is an id for a text area component.

Now I think you are on the right track. The error that you got now occured because the code that you have written is looking for an element with the id tTextAtrea which it cannot find. Help me out here. Is the element declared using an id or name? Is tTextArea an id or name of the input field?

2009-06-10T03:36:48.516-07:00

I am sorry dear but the newer version of funfx still does not have support for IE. Use firewatir instead. I faced the exact same problem. So, I had to resort to firefox as the dominant browser for testing flex applications. You will find firewatir inside the funfx installation folder. The exact location is C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\funfx-0.2.2\lib\funfx\browser.

At the start of your class just include the firewatir library as the following:

require 'funfx'
require 'funfx/browser/firewatir'

You might also want to install firewatir seperately. The latest release is the 1.6.2 version. If you install that you will have access to the API for manipulating the browser. You might want to have a look at the source; its helps alot.

2009-06-10T03:26:55.372-07:00

Thanks a lot for the help. i could install funfx 0.2.2. Now i am getting another problem. At Funfx.instance i am getting an error:
test_myfunfx(MyFunFxTest):
NameError: uninitialized constant MyFunFxTest::Funfx
C:/MyProjects/MyFunFx/bin-debug/my_fun_fx_test.rb:13:in `setup'
Is the newer version still has problem with IE?
