Can I use the same to run a CUIT on a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2010? Rather I tried doing it, but get an exception- UITestControlNotFoundException, when actually I can see the control there.

thanks very much

How To: Run Coded UI Tests From Command Line One of my previous posts about Coded UI I showed how to

I am getting the error when I try this example.

I've build an app that runs coded ui tests via reflection. It works, however, it seems like TestContext is not initialized in that way.

Do you know how I can initialize it so it would function as usual?

Thanks.

Can you please provide a sample Windows form that invokes the coded UI tests. I am getting a lot of errors while trying to run the tests.

My Steps:

Created Coded UI Tests

Created a Windows App targeting framework 4 as you specified

My Code in a button click event looks something like this

Playback.Initialize()

Dim Personal As New PersonalInformation()

Personal.PersonalInformationTests()

Playback.Cleanup()

I've installed the trial version of VS2010 Ultimate Edition but there was no 'Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0' folder in 'C:\Program Files'. There was only 'Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0' and it didn't contain any of the 5 DLLs mentioned in the Public/PrivateAssemblies folders.

Will the DLLs come only with a registered version?

Thanks.

Anybody has any ideea on this error?

Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.PlaybackFailureException: Cannot perform '' on the control. Additional Details: The control details were not specified. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException:

I had to also add references to "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.IE" and "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.Uia" but otherwise, works great, thanks!

Yes, Bogdan, I'm getting the same exact error. Have you managed to resolve it? If so, please post the details.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm not able to add my testproject to the windows form application.I added my testproject to the solution and added reference of the same.Intellisense works fine before building the project, but application is throwing a error "are you missing any (testproject) assembly reference", once i build the application. Should i add any other reference??

Hi,

Thanks for this info, I have created the exe by using steps told by you.

1 more question...... Can I run this exe in other machine which don't have Visual Studio

Hi Shai,

Now I can run Coded UI thru windows form with the click of a button. Thanks for your help!!!

Now I have created an exe and trying to run the Coded UI thru an exe. On running the exe, the form is opening and after clicking the button (which calls the coded UI) it is throwing an exception error.

i.e.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

File name: 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

Please help.

Thank you in Advance.

Can you plz told the Namespace to call

because my solution has two projects

one is for CUIT

and

Secound is for Winform having a button (My Coded ui test)

when we paste your code : -

Playback.Initialize();

TestProject.CodedUITest1 coded = new TestProject.CodedUITest1();

coded.CodedUITestMethod1();

Playback.Cleanup();

they didnot identify the objects of Coded ui test project .. I paste this code on Click event of button

than it means they can't recognize .. will you pl help

Hello, first of all ... how can i call the CUIT mehtods ..

I add all 5 refrences ... but playback.initlize is not found in hint

on total nothing is work ... i done only at add refences to all dlls

I've some form with controls I'm practice on it .

the trigger for the UI test for this form is located on the form itself (link label). when I'm firing the Link Clicked event , the

Playback.Initialize();

test.CodedUITestMethod1();

Playback.Cleanup();

code should run, but actually happens is that my forms hangs (no exception), is this due to cross threading issue ?

I'm having a problem with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception on TestContect.DataRow.

I am using Playback.Initialize(); as suggested but still get that exception.

any ideas?

thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your code.  I'm having trouble getting it to work.  I'm getting an error "Broswer not supported"  I added the line Playback.Initialize(), but that didn't change the result.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

Great info! I had to include Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.IE and Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.Uia, (two additional private assemblies) as well, but now my standalone Console Playback test tool works.

Thanks alot! I finally got this to work, thanks to this blog. :)

Thank you! Great post, helped me A LOT, especially about including the necessary references and calling Playback.Initialize method before executing test methods.
