Squish

@Kenneth17 By the way, does the same issue can be reproduced while launching the application via "startaut" tool? Ex: startaut --verbose --port=9999 "C:\Program Files\MRMC\MHC\client\MHCClient.exe" For more information regarding launching application via "startaut" tool, please refer to our following documentation. https://doc.qt.io/squish/attaching-to-running-applications.html https://doc.qt.io/squish/cli-startaut.html#startaut

@PR04 You can check in SquishIDE if object Exists with given set of properties. Frist you need to start AUT/connect to it, open Scripted Object Map and select your symbolic name (1. - on the screenshot) Later you press Check Existence (2. - on the screenshot) It will tell you if your list of properties in real name are OK and object can be found. Check out this screenshot from my SquishIDE: [image: 72637c04-cada-4bae-89ee-7fea5c28ee5e.png]

It might be necessary specify the button as: squish.MouseButton.RightButton However it is not clear exact error message you are facing. Therefore it might be better to share support information logs in the future. For more information regarding obtaining the support information logs, please refer to the following knowledge based article. Collecting the most important information (Linux, macOS, Windows) @Pieter-Knelissen said in Squish for java, right-click to show context menu: I have a row in a table and when I right-click on the row, a context menu should appear. I can find the row in the table but have no clue how to bring up the context menu and select an item. Some trial: 'obj' is the object representing the row 'common.Applications_Setup_ContextMenu' is the name of the menu as found during recording. squish.nativeMouseClick( obj, button=RightButton ) squish.activateItem(squish.waitForObjectItem(common.Applications_Setup_ContextMenu, "Remove project")) but it complains about 'RightButton'. I tried squish.RightButton, MouseButton.RightButton and various permutations of capitalization..... I have 2 questions: what is the right way to bring up the context menu? where can I find definitions of constants like 'RightButton' ?

@Pieter-Knelissen sorry for the delay. regarding the attributes/methos available, it depends on the UI component used and the UI structure. For example in our above sample test case "tmpObj" for the given sample application, After the test case hits the breakpoint, and see the "Variables View", you will see "type" of each local variable. And the "type" for "tmpObj" is javax_swing_JList. (Attached screenshot) Therefore, from there on, you have to look into the JList and related UI component documentation to access the desired attributes and methods.

I got this answer from support: SquishIDE is based on Eclipse, and PyDev is the Python IDE plugin Squish uses. As noted in the documentation, the Debug and Interpreters panes preferences in PyDev are ignored because Squish uses either the Python installation shipped with it or an external one configured via squishconfig. Therefore, any settings you apply in those panes will not take effect.

Ah, perfect. Will try this on Monday. Thanks for the link and have a nice weekend!

@IamSumit can you reproduce the issue and share the Support Information logs. Please refer to the following Knowledge Base Article regarding how to obtain the Support Information is https://qatools.knowledgebase.qt.io/misc/collecting-support-info/collecting-support-information-linux-mac-windows/

@merve In case you are requirement is to use VNC, it is necessary to use Squish for VNC package. For more information regarding this, please refer to the following documentation. https://doc.qt.io/squish/squish-for-vnc-tutorials.html By the way, what is the GUI Toolkit of the application which you are interested in automating the GUI test? Is it Qt?

@HarryGoddardTech said in Invalid metadata: I'm getting the following error when I run "Squish for Qt 9.0.0" Please clarify what you mean by this. For example, Do you get the error when launching the Squish IDE? or During the execution of the already existing test suite? It might be worth checking the "System Level" and/or "User Level" PATH environment variable to confirm no Qt related path is included.

Solved! the suit.conf file has a setting "WRAPPERS" which needs to be set to "Qt" (case sensitive). If set to "Windows" then Squish will attempt to start the AUT in a "Windows" manner (startwinaut)

You can execute JavaScript code with "evalJS" function. Following is an example, if you want to get the content of the element created by "::after" CSS pseudo element, ~ Squish script in Python ~ tmp = evalJS(f'let tmp = window.getComputedStyle(document.getElementsByClassName("ribbon")[0], "::after").content; tmp') test.log(f'{tmp}') ~ Squish script in Python ~ ~ Associated HTML code ~ <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <style> .ribbon::after { content: "This is a content added by ::after of CSS pseudo element."; background-color: #ffba10; border-color: black; border-style: dotted; } </style> </head> <body> <p class="ribbon">Look at the orange box after this text. </p> </body> </html> ~ Associated HTML code ~ NOTE : For more information regarding "evalJS" function and its usage, please refer to our following documentation. https://doc.qt.io/squish/web-evaljs-function.html#web-evaljs-function https://doc.qt.io/squish/how-to-use-the-web-api.html#how-to-use-evaljs

Hi @jagadish , thank you for your answer. Using Squish IDE when I run automatic tests is not an option. Im only using squishtest module from python code. Well that suggestion about using TightVNC as another process controlled from python was the best option for me. I just run TightVNC client via subprocess module and later when tests finished i just killed it.

@jagadish Thank you

@Pritha-Suresh you can modify the path where the video is getting saved by passing the path to the "test.startVideoCapture(/path)" to do animation testing you will need external tools like opencv or someting similar. It will be easier to test any internal property corresponding to the animation rather than attempting to test the filling animation.
