Selenium failure on selenium.click (xpath with checkbox) from java rc running from testng and maven

[Drahcir]

Hi all,

The following code fails within Remote control with *iexplore on the blue line. I have searched the forum and the FAQ's, but couldn't find anything related to this issue. We are running the tests from maven 2 with testng, although direct run from Eclipse and testng fails as well. It looks like there is a problem with click in combination with XPath and checkbox (the rest of the xpath related commands don't have issues).
We are using selenium-remote-control 1.0-beta1.

The code in HttpCommandProcessor shows the following:
{font:style=font-family: courier new,courier; font-size: 8pt;}    public String doCommand(String commandName, String[] args) { \\         DefaultRemoteCommand command = new DefaultRemoteCommand(commandName,args); \\         String result = executeCommandOnServlet(command.getCommandURLString()); \\         if (result == null) { \\             throw new NullPointerException("Selenium Bug! result must not be null"); \\         } \\         if (!result.startsWith("OK")) { \\             return throwAssertionFailureExceptionOrError(result); \\         } \\         return result; \\     }{font}

My conclusion is that the result of the result doesn't start with OK. But I don't know how to further investigate this.

Clicking on checkboxes with the same XPath's runs fine.


Any help appreciated.

cheers,

Hi Andras,

We experience the same problem with the latest snapshot.

It results in the same problem in IE. Note that we don't have an issue
on Ubuntu running Firefox.

I guess it makes sense to play around with the xpath then? I will let
you know if I fixed it.

thanks for the help,

Richard.

Nope, this fails as well.

Hi All,

I am getting exactly same exception. Is it resolved?

I am doing below things.

1) Opening a page in new window -->  successfully opens
2) Selects a radio button             --> selects

After selecting a radio button, just below it two text boxes appears which i don't use.

And then i m suppose to click on submit button.

Do u think its giving exception because of two text boxes that comes on selecting radio button??

From logs ( in debug mode) i see that it's not able to retreieve the commandQueue...


Anyone knows how to solve?
