User Lib question

I have created a user library where I added the StartDynamics() function:

/** Base Functions **/
function StartDynamics() {
	var dynamicsPath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Dynamics AX\\60\\Client\\Bin\\";
	var dynamicsFullPath = dynamicsPath + "Ax32.exe";
	var dynamicsQA = " \\\\DAX-RDS-101-WD\\AX_config\\QA_CUS.axc";
	var windows = g_util.FindWindows("regex:.Microsoft Dynamics AX.*", "AxMainFrame");
	if (!File.Exists(dynamicsFullPath)) {
		Tester.FailTest("Dynamics AX Client is not installed on this computer");
		return;
	}
	if (windows.length == 0) {
		Global.DoLaunch(dynamicsFullPath, dynamicsPath, false);
		Global.DoSleep(10000);
		if (SeSFindObj('QA')) {
			SeS('OK1').DoClick();
			Tester.Message('QA');
		}
		if (SeSFindObj('Communication_error')) {
			SeS('OK2').DoClick();
			Tester.Message('Communication error');
			Global.DoLaunch(dynamicsFullPath + dynamicsQA);
			Global.DoSleep(15000);
			if (SeSFindObj('Communication_error')) {
				SeS('OK2').DoClick();
				Tester.FailTest('Communication error');
			}
		}
		Global.DoWaitFor('Home', 60000, 5000);
	}
	maximize('UIAutomation');
	SeS('TabControl').DoSelectTab("Home");
}

I call the function in the TestInit() function in all the tests:

function TestInit()
{
	StartDynamics();
}

LibBase.jslib file:

SeSRegisterLibrary(
	{
		name: 'Base',
		description: 'Base - Default user-defined library',
		include: 'Lib/LibBase/LibBase.js',
		info: null,
		load_order: 1000,
		recording: false, // Only use in playback. If it has recording rules then set it to 'true'
		autoload: true // Always load this library for this test and each subtest
	}
);

 

The problem is that the tests occasionally fail on the line in TestInit() where I call the StartDynamics() function from the LibBase.js library with: "TypeError(-2146823281): 'Handle' is null or not an object' and only if the Dynamics is not started.

Now, my questions are:

1. Is TestInit() or TestPrepare() better for this kind of function?

2. Should I edit some parameters in the LibBase.jslib file so it reads the LibBase.js immediately on running (if that is the problem here)

Hi Dimitar,

I think that 'TestInit' is a good place to call 'StartDynamics'. I suggest to run the test with Internal Debugger and step into 'StartDynamics' function to find out where it fails (I believe it is successfully executed from 'TestInit').

I also suspect that the failure is in 'maximize' function you call in the end of 'StartDynamics'.

Regards,

Denis

maximize is a very simple function.

function maximize(window) {
    SeS(window).getDesktopWindow().Maximized = true;
}

I'll try it with Internal Debugger and post the results

I would recommend logging as a help desk ticket if you need more help as we don't check the forum posts as frequently.

Hi,

This happens rarely, but if this keeps on repeating and we don't find what causes it, I will raise a ticket.
