Mapping technical names [message #1154840]

Hello,

Currently I have to review the recorded testcases of other users. The Cases are created with Jubula 7.1.0.

How does Jubula collect the technical names? It seems like the names change after some restart.

I have already read the following:
"If the developers have not named the component, Jubula generates a name."
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jubula.client.ua.help%2Fhtml%2Fmanual%2Fnode382.html

For example there are two objects with the technical name:
Object1: org.eclipe.swt.widgets.Tree_1 and Object2: org.eclipe.swt.widgets.Tree_2
Next time they are named like this:
Object1: org.eclipe.swt.widgets.Tree_2 and Object2: org.eclipe.swt.widgets.Tree_1

How do I settle a static name for those?

Best wishes,
Hendrik

I'm having a similar issue, collecting the Next button on a wizard, in different moments I collect the button as a dialog.button.next, and in another moment I collect it as Button Component("Next>").

Attached are the properties of the 'conflicting' technical names properties for the same same button.

Hi guys,

Are you getting component not found errors when you run the test? If not, then it shouldn't be a problem - the object mapping is heuristic, so it can deal with deviations and still find the correct component. If you are getting component not found errors, then the differences are apparently too large to count as the same component. In your example Alejo, it looks like we're able to get an ID for one of the instances, but not for the other.

If specific components are behaving like this, then you might want to use the setData() method (described in the documentation in the "Toolkits" section and then in the RCP subsection) to name the component.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for the answer.
Actually we're getting Component not found errors in our test cases, but it depends. If developer A maps the components his way, he is able to run the tests, and this won't work for developer B (he can do the same and remap, but this would be an endless battle). Also the CI test machine will fail for a given configuration. This behavior is also variable at time (the different names being captured has happen to several of us within our same box).

I get it that we could add data to locate the widget another way, but it would be great if you guys could look into this because there seems to be a regression in 7.x (couldn't tell which 7.x version because I migrated from 1.3). The component is the Next button in a simple New project wizard, very straightforward and simple. I noticed that this happens for all Buttons.

I was just talking with Alex and Markus and they told me that the issue most probably is due to a preference they introduced in the new versions which assigns technical names to wizard dialog buttons (since in some linux distributions the order of the buttons uses to change). The preference can be located at Test > Properties - AUT - AUT Dialog (correct me if i'm wrong please!)

Thank you very much Jubula Team, you've been very kind!

Hi,

can you please tell me where can I find these preferences?
Seems like "Test > Properties - AUT - AUT Dialog..." is a wrong path....

Hi there,

the properties for generating names are indeed in Test -> Properties -> AUT:
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/topic/org.eclipse.jubula.client.ua.help/content/html/userManual/tasks/defineAUT/define-aut.html?cp=45_2_6

Other properties for AUTs and the project in general are also there.

The preferences are under: Window -> Preferences.

Best regards,
Alex
