[ptt-users] Beginner question (sorry for the late response)

Wed Sep 26 07:41:00 PDT 2007

The app is a framed cgi app. On the left frame, there's a main menu to 
access the various screens.

I tested a search screen that is, basically, a form with several fields 
and a submit button.

The screen URL is: 
http://maquinas-test.mecon.ar/cgi-bin/listado_maquinas.cgi

The HTML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
	PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<tr><td>Tipo de dispositivo:</td> <td><select

<tr><td>Habilitada:</td> <td><select name="habilitada"><option

<tr><td>802.1x habilitado:</td> <td><select name="habil_802"><option

<tr><td class="boton" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name=".submit" 
/></td></tr>
</table><div></div></form><hr />

The recording:

    1. goto location http://maquinas-test.mecon.ar/menu.html
    2. assert page title MNEU2
    3. enter text INPUT[@TYPE="text" and @NAME="nombre_maquina"] = [jupiter]
    4. click INPUT[@NAME=".submit" and @VALUE=""]
    5. assert page title MNEU2
    6. click A[@CDATA="11291"]
    7. assert page title MNEU2
    8. click INPUT[@NAME="ophabilitar" and @VALUE="Habilitar"]
    9. assert page title MNEU2

The result:

I go to the search screen, press "play" and it browses back to 
menu.html, which I didn't want it to. This blanks off the search form, 
so, the subsequent orders can't be followed. It pops:

error finding object with predicate: -1

So I wipe the step 1, as I don't need the test to browse that URL, and I 
try again:

The same error.

Then, it pops some other errors like:

Could not find object:*/FORM[-1]/*/INPUT[@TYPE="text" and 
@NAME="nombre_maquina"]
Step: 1

Sorry for the late response and
thanks in advance,
