Using user-extension.js in Selenium RC

Question

I am having difficulty in using the extensions.js in Selenium RC.

My Java Code is,

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import junit.framework.*;
import java.lang.String;

public class javaErrorCheck extends SeleneseTestCase
{
    Boolean Result=false;
    String S=null;
    String Host="localhost";
    String Timeout="30000";

    public void setUp() throws Exception
    {
        setUp("http://"+Host+"/", "*iexplore");
    }

    public static Test suite()
    {
        return new TestSuite(javaErrorCheck.class);
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        junit.textui.TestRunner.run(suite());
    }

    public void test_Login() throws Exception
    {
        selenium.setTimeout(Timeout);
        selenium.open("http://"+Host+"/LoginPage.do");
        selenium.windowFocus();
        selenium.windowMaximize();
        selenium.windowFocus();
        selenium.getEval("doDisplayAlert('testing','test');");
        selenium.type("userName", "admin");
        selenium.type("password", "admin");
        Result=selenium.isElementPresent("//input[@type='image']");
        selenium.click("//input[@type='image']");
        selenium.waitForPageToLoad(Timeout);
    }

}

my user-extensions.js is

Selenium.prototype.doDisplayAlert = function(value, varName)
{
    alert(value);

}; 

When I run this using getEval() method, this error was thrown,

1) test_Login(javaErrorCheck)*com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException:
ERROR: Threw an exception: Object expected*

    at javaErrorCheck.main(javaErrorCheck.java:23) 

If I use runScript(), object expected error was thrown in the browser as a JS error. In both the cases, alert is shown in the RC window. I think, selenium couldn't get the control after executing the command.

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

try...

selenium.displayAlert('testing', 'test');

But putting the do in front of the function name you tell the api that it is an 'action' which implies some other things; see the docs.

Hi, I think your problem could be solved by looking into this link. Please note that I am not expect in Selenium, just that I was unintentionally found this document while I was searching for solution to my problem.

Hope this help.

THanks @!
