Validate highlighting of gridlines

Post by Wim from CAL » Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:19 am

I am am testing a web application that contains overviews with kendo grids. I want to validate if a gridline is highlighted when my mouse cursor is hovering above the grid line. I try doing so by Image directed recording.
When I start the recording I first switch on the Validating modus and then switch on Image based recording. I hover the mouse over the gridline and it is highlighted. When I want to capture this I have to mouse-click on the gridline . However when the image is captured after the mouseclick the highlighting isn't captured in the image. Only the gridline without the highlight
Is there any way to solve this issue?

Hi,

I'm afraid, it's impossible to suggest something reliable without seeing your web app? And I'm afraid, snapshot would not help with this problem either. Any chance you can post a small example, featuring the grid in question? I think the problem is, that mouse click simply dismiss the hover-over highlight? But as mentioned, it's hard to say what to do without seeing your app.

Does the mouse cursor change at all when it's hovering over a gridline?

I've recently been detecting when things occur in our app by monitoring the mouse cursor changes. It waits for such-and-such a cursor, then does stuff. I've even had to work around issues in our app by waiting for such-and-such a cursor to appear, then waiting for that cursor to revert back to the default, just to know when things have happened. Wondering if you could initiate capture on detecting a mouse cursor change, rather than you having to click on something.

And a screenshot of our app.
In some overviews a click on a gridline opens another detail screen. That is not the case in this overview

Hi,

Thanks for the snapshot. Which element should we look at? There does not seems to be anything highlighted?

Maybe you can create a snapshot via recording? This should preserve also the highlighted state. Just create a recording, where first step would simply move mouse above the element with highlight and as next step add Create Snapshot action.

BTW, you should really consider updating Ranorex to 9.1 or at very least 9.0.1. Ranorex 9.0.0 contains some nasty bugs, which are already fixed in later versions.

I added the snapshot that was created from the recording. The highlighted grid line in the screenshot is the (only) blue one in the overview in the top-right of the screen
p.s. I already requested the update to 9.1 at our systemmanagment.
