Having trouble.

[Richard.T.Brown]

I am trying to use the image-based testing to operate a Windows program and am having trouble.  I have a cycle table which calls my suite table, which then calls two different step tables.  I started with only one step table containing all my steps, but have split the tests apart to try to make my step tables more reusable (like I should!).  Separately, they just don't work--at some point in the second step table, I always get:
        - WARNING Unknown RECORD TYPE, SCRIPT NAME, or COMMAND in C:\safs\CLL\datapool\GrabTextLine.SDD at line 6
                  "C       , AssignClipboardVariable   , "^AttrName"
          ------  END DATATABLE: STEP TABLE: C:\safs\CLL\datapool\GrabTextLine.SDD
If I comment out the first step table, I don't get the error, which indicates to me that it is not the problem.

Suite Table (testott.std):
C       , WaitForGUI, OTT, Anchor
T       , TestOTTMove
T       , GrabTextLine, ^win = "OTT", ^comp = "Output"

Step table (testottmove.sdd)
' Rtype , Window    , Component     , Action    , Args...
' =====   ======      =========       ======      ====
C       , WaitForGUI, OTT           , Anchor
T       , OTT       , TitleBar      , Click

'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , Click
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "m"
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "{Right 3}"
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "{Up 3}"
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "{Left 3}"
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "{Down 3}"
'T       , OTT       , Anchor        , InputKeys , "{Esc}"

T       , OTT       , ObjectList    , Click
T       , OTT       , PropertyList  , DoubleClick

Step table (grabtextline.sdd):
' Rtype , Window    , Component     , Action    , Args...
' =====   ======      =========       ======      ====
T       , ^win      , ^comp        , Click
T       , ^win      , ^comp         , InputKeys , "{Home}+{Down}+{Left}^c"
T       , ^win      , ^comp         , InputKeys , "{Home}+{End}^c"
C       , AssignClipboardVariable   , "^AttrName"
C       , LogMessage, "Found Attr: " , ^AttrName

Richard,

 

The issue here is the invocations of those Step Tables from the Suite Table.  At the Cycle and Suite Level the 3^rd field of the Test (T) record is supposed to provide the field separator for the called table. 

 

The invocation of TestOTTMove works because you provide no additional data so SAFSDRIVER defaults to the current field separator—a comma:

 

T,  TestOTTMove

 

However, if you provide ANY additional information on the line you must leave room for field 3 to contain a new separator character, an empty string, or nothing, as shown below:

 

RC,  TABLE NAME  ,  FIELD SEP, ARGUMENTS

===================================

 T  ,  TestOTTMove,                     , ^anyData

 

The call to GrabTextLine does NOT provide a proper separator field. 

 

T       , GrabTextLine, ^win = "OTT", ^comp = "Output"

In fact, as shown above, the record actually says that GrabTextLine uses a field separator of “OTT” (^win=”OTT”).  Thus, in reality, I’m guessing that not a single record in that last table is ever properly interpreted.

 

The correct call for that record to invoke GrabTextLine should be as shown below.  Note the 2 back-to-back commas for the 3^rd field:

 

T  , GrabTextLine ,, ^win = "OTT", ^comp = "Output"

Here is a doc that (hopefully) sheds more light on the file formats for each test level:

Thanks, Carl.  That did it.  Figured it was something simple, but just couldn't see it.
