Peter thanks, it now fails with the same error on the next step after the Click step:

Click 'deleteButton' (was failing here)
        Accept alert (fails here now)

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Are you in debug mode or normal mode?

Craig Waite

@craigvl

debug

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

@craigvl ok try 1.6.16

apparently you cannot inject js into the browser while an alert is open

Craig Waite

@craigvl

Well done, it's working.

so you updated to not write out the console logs if alert open as per the commit

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Yup. You got it

Hey Guys, I am running my smashtest using the firefox geckodriver.exe, I have multiple branches. Each time I run my tests there are lots of instances of firefox.exe in the taskmanager taking up memory and staying there, even after the tests are complete, is there any way to get rid of this?

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

That's a selenium bug as far as I know.

There are commands you can run to kill off all the zombie processes. For example, on windows taskkill /F /IM geckodriver.exe (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40702478/how-to-kill-many-geckodriver-exe-processes/40704072#40704072)

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

I wish I had a better answer for you, but selenium has to take care of its own bugs 😓

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Some of you were having trouble with sequential step blocks like these:

..
Open Chrome
Navigate to 'site.com'

There was an issue that was fixed in the latest version, so please upgrade

Also, hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year! 🎉🎉Thank you for your continued support!

Hi guys, i;m experiencing problems with the recursive flag, whenever I run my smashtest using the recursive syntax I seem to get the following error when generating branches - FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory (Has anyone experienced this at all)?

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Make sure you aren't generating too many branches

i.e., enough to max out your memory

id7digital

@id7digital

ah I see, I have one branch but it keeps generating 4 for some reason. That is just with Open Chrome when ran recursive it generates 4 branches for some reason, this is when i navigate to the main.smash file folder and just run smashtest --recursive

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

You may have other files hiding somewhere in there

Or post exactly what you're trying to run, your smashtest version, OS, your exact command, etc. for help troubleshooting

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

I threw together a bunch of lessons on Smashtest. Please let me know what you think!

@craigvl

Great videos thanks heaps! I wonder if on the 4th video at around the 20 minute mark if the prop for 'login box' should be shown along with the usage to reinforce the link between the prop definition and usage, does this make sense? not major though. Thanks again.

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

I think I do show it at around 19:30 :)

Craig Waite

@craigvl

Yes was thinking that they should be shown at the same time so that it is obvious how they relate, but thinking about this some more I think that someone who is watching the 4th video would already have this understanding.

Thanks @vptes1

I like that I can use REPL to .load and run a smash script but when the script is done it disconnects. How can I stay connected so that I can use the smashtest shell to run more commands and then .save them?

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

@RoyceTheBiker_gitlab I'm having trouble reproducing the issue - it doesn't disconnect for me

RoyceTheBiker

@RoyceTheBiker_gitlab

Running this on a Mac Book Pro. This is the command I use smashtest --test-server=http://localhost:4444/wd/hub -r. It exits with a zero value and no errors. Each command shows as passed. webdriver has messages about session starting and ending but no errors.

This is the script.

Open Firefox

    Navigate to 'localhost:4200'
        {{username}} = 'admin'
        {{password}} = '12345'
        Type {{username}} into 'input[name=username]'
        Type '{{password}}[enter]' into 'input[name=password]'

If I go into REPL and run each command manually one at a time it stays connected and Firefox stays open.

Can the --debug option help here? It wants a hash but I don't know what to do with that.

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

You should either indent each of the last 4 lines or put a .. on top of the {{username}} line. You're creating four different branches here.

Open Firefox

    Navigate to 'localhost:4200'
        ..
        {{username}} = 'admin'
        {{password}} = '12345'
        Type {{username}} into 'input[name=username]'
        Type '{{password}}[enter]' into 'input[name=password]'

RoyceTheBiker

@RoyceTheBiker_gitlab

Righ. I forgot about that. I will change it and try again.

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Or, to make it cleaner...

..
Open Firefox
Navigate to 'localhost:4200'
{{username}} = 'admin'
{{password}} = '12345'
Type {{username}} into 'input[name=username]'
Type '{{password}}[enter]' into 'input[name=password]'

RoyceTheBiker

@RoyceTheBiker_gitlab

It did not like the .., complained about Error: You cannot have a .. line without anything directly below [:1]. The tab in worked but the shell still terminates.

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

I'd just run the test normally (put it in a .smash file, and run it with smashtest --test-server=http://localhost:4444/wd/hub, no -r flag). If you want to debug a particular step using the REPL, put a ~ next to it.

You wouldn't put .. or indents into the REPL directly...only single-line commands

So when you're using .load it just regurgitates a bunch of previously-typed-in lines directly into the REPL, and that doesn't always work

RoyceTheBiker

@RoyceTheBiker_gitlab

What is a good way to deal with CAPTCHA or MFA? I have control over the full stack. Is there a way to call an external command or API? I don't want to disable them or set them to fixed answers, I would like to call an API that will return what the input for these fields should be.

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

Any nodejs code can go into a code block. You can do it from there.

Version 1.7 is out!

Hi guys, do you know if there is a way of handling popups using smashtest, as in adding text to them using smashtest

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

HTML popups or alerts?

id7digital

@id7digital

alerts

Peter Tesler

@vptes1

There are built-in steps for handling alerts. If there isn't one for typing in text, you can just make a custom one (with code block and webdriverjs code inside)

This is the webdriverjs documentation: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/module/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver_exports_WebDriver.html

You can access that WebDriver object in a code block via browser.driver

Your code will be something like

* Type {{text}} into alert {
    await browser.driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys(text);
}
