Simulator - qxTableClick after changing the window

[Loïc Bresson -- Novlog]

Hi.

I'm using the simulator with the java API to test our qooxdoo 0.8.3
application. I want to test buttons that execute actions on selected elements
of a table.
My table is inside a window that is opened when the application is launched,
and I proceed like this :
1/ I select the element
qxTableClick("qxh=*/mywindow/*/mytable", "row=x, col=y");
2/ I click on my button
qxClick("qxh=*/mywindiw/*/mybutton");

Everything works fine if it's the first test that I do, but if before I do that
test, I open a second qooxdoo window, close it, and then try to select a row in
my table, the row is only "half-selected": the row is highlighted, but when I
click on the button, it's as if there were no selected row (the
TableSelectionModel doesn't find any). Graphically, whereas a selected row is
usually highlighted with a "standard" blue (in modern theme), in this case it's
light blue (I was not able to reproduce this situation manually). Worse, if a
row was selected before the opening of the second window, it will remain the
selected row.

I tried to qxClick or qxClickAt the window or the table before I select the
row, but this does not change anything. Does a selenium expert has an idea
about what's happening / what I should do ? (maybe Daniel ?)

Thanks.

Hi Loïc,

that sounds strange indeed. I tried to reproduce your setup but the
table selection changed as expected, whether there was another window or
not. Have you tried running the relevant commands from your test case in
Selenium IDE? The debug messages generated by the qooxdoo Selenium
extensions might provide some clues.

Daniel

I did a lot of tests, with two Firefox versions (3.0 and 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.04),
with Selenium IDE vs Java API. I also created a little, simple test application
to compare the results with those of our application. And (fortunately :)) it
seems the issue happens only with our application, and only with the Java API
(this second part being a little more annoying).
I'll have to investigate about what in our application could cause this strange
behavior.

Hi Loïc,

good to hear it's not a general problem. If you manage to narrow the
problem with your application down in any way, please post the details
here as it might affect other users as well.

Daniel

I finally could solve my issue.

I found that it was happening after opening and closing only one particular
window of our application, so I looked deeper into this window. I was able to
avoid the issue, but I could not find the precise reason why it was happening.
Here are 2 possible causes I've found:

1st one is having a grid layout into the opened window with non contiguous rows
(0, 2, 3, 4 in our case). It seems to happen only with 4 rows (e.g. everything
works fine with rows 0, 3, 4) and a certain combination of widgets.

2nd one is calling moveTo(x, y) with particular (x, y) when the window opens.

One of these 2 conditions is sufficient to cause the "half-selection" thing.
Again, this happens only with one of our windows, and I could not reproduce the
bug into a simple application or with other windows of our application. But
everything works if I avoid non contiguous rows (which in any case is better)
and the moveTo with the particular coordinates. Has anyone ever experienced
this kind of behavior with selenium ?

Back to this topic again.

I've found that if you maximize the browser window used by Selenium, it seems
to solve some strange issues (i.e. things that normally work but in some cases
do not work for mystic reasons :D).

If you use Selenium RC with Java, just do
selenium.windowFocus();
selenium.windowMaximize();
just after the selenium.start(); instruction (where "selenium" is the instance
of your Selenium object).

This solved the issue I had before (even with the non-contiguous rows in a grid
or the moveTo to particular coordinates). I also had some issues when trying to
double click a cell inside a table (it acted as a simple click), and just
maximizing the browser window solved the thing. I don't know why, since the
widgets I wanted to access to where visible even with the default browser
window size, but at least it made the tests work :).

Hope that can help some people.
