Hello,

I had a problem in using the ATF's browser to login our system.

1. In the Eclipse Web Browser perspectively, I brought up the Firefox and typed in the URL, which is like: http://localhost:.../... Then I could see the login window of our system.

2. After I typed in the user name/password and clicked the OK button, I saw the request was received by the web server which displayed some normal messages.

3. However, after a few seconds, the entire Eclipse environment was closed - sounds like the system was crashed. My application server is still up and running.

I had not do any setup or configuration after installing ATF into Eclipse. Do I need to setup/configure something in Eclipse before using ATF?

Thanks!

Sunny

I forgot to mention: if I run a Firefox 3.5.1 outside of Eclipse/ATF, it seemed to work fine.

Thanks,

Sunny

Sunny,
does this issue persist? Does Eclipse close/crash every time you enter
that login window URL and press OK? or maybe it happend only once, or
from time to time?
If so, could you tell more details about this web page? Ideally, I'd
love to see it's source to try in my environment too, is it possible?

thanks

Jacek

ps. sorry for late response, I'm back now and should be answering more
often :-)

Hi Jacek,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the Eclipse crashes every time if I click OK button on our login page.

Sorry, I am not able to send you the details regarding how to reproduce this problem in your environment as this requires an account setup.

Are you aware of any configurations that I need to do before connecting my localhost?

Thanks,

Sunny

I think this should be reproducible for a static page, because from
browser/ATF perspective it doesn't matter how is the html/css/js content
generated. I mean, if you save your crashing web page as html and put
that html on any other HTTP server, then opening it with ATF should
cause crash again. Could you send me that page? or at least a simpler
one, that still causes the crash.

There should be no extra configuration needed before connecting to your
http server at localhost. Unless by "connecting to localhost" you mean
something else than me :-)

btw. Sunny, how do you like ATF, what's the feature you like the most?
What we could add to make it better?

thank you for being so helpful!

Jacek

Hi Jacek,

Thanks for your willingness to help.

I saved the login page as an .html but the problem was no longer reproducible. In fact, we doubt that the static page could crash Eclipse becaue the crash only happens a few seconds after the OK button was clicked - it crashed after talking to the DB server. I am planning to use tcpmon to see if I can get more information.

Regarding the reasons I like ATF:

1) it is a plugin to Eclipse which is the IDE I am most comfortable with

2) it also integrates an editor of JavaScript

3) ATF debugger is very similar to Firebug so I assume everything supported by firebug is also available in ATF.

I am still new to ATF and have not been able to successfully use it yet so I cannot say much about it at this time. Additionally, I really look forward to seeing that ATF supports other major browsers and can debug them Smile
