Desptive Programming for YahooMail - Akhila - 04-15-2008
After reading Ankur's post on Descriptive Programming I tried to write a small script for the yahoomail...script as follows
<<<<
Code:
Dim USERNAME
Set USERNAME = Description.Create
USERNAME("html tag").value = "INPUT"
USERNAME("name").value = "test.*"
SystemUtil.Run("www.yahoomail.com")
Browser("www.yahoomail.com").page("www.yahoomail.com").webedit("USERNAME").Set"testing"On script run error message displayed as "object 'browser' is not found in the object repository"
1) Using descriptive programming we can run the script with out having obejct in OR right?
2) Can any of you suggest the methods for correcting the script?
3) Can I use complete web address in the Browser name[as I used www.yahoomail.com]?
Thanks,

you have to specify the property name and its value. (You can use Object Spy to determine the properties and their values)
Example:
Code:
Browser("name:=google").Page("title:=google").webedit("html Tag:=Input","name:=q").Set "test"RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - sherinvg - 04-16-2008
Hi,
Can you explain me why we write 'name' and 'title' in DP.title.The script
Browser("google").Page("google").webedit("q").Set "test" will work fine if we add all the items in OR .Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards.

@sherinvg: what Niranjan told is descriptive programming and what you are doing is normal recording using object repository. These are two different approaches ( though it is always possible to mix them)
RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - sherinvg - 04-17-2008
hi,
why i asked this question is i tried both the ways ,
First i wrote the script
Code:
'Browser("google").Page("google").webedit("q").Set "test" 'Later i wrote the code
Code:
'Browser("name:=google").Page("title:=google").webedit("html Tag:=Input","name:=q").Set "test" 'Both the ways i could execute the code that too without doing normal recording.My doubt is can i say the first script which i wrote here is descriptive programming.
Thanks/Regards

RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - niranjan - 04-17-2008
No. The first script does not come under descriptive programming.
For DP: you manually supply Object properties and its values.
In the second script, it will work even if you dont add objects to OR. (Bcoz we are supplying all the properties and values for all the objects in the heirarchy).
You can make use of OR in the following case,
Code:
Browser("google").Page("google").webedit("html Tag:=Input","name:=q").Set "test"RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - sherinvg - 04-19-2008

Thanks and regards

RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - niranjan - 04-20-2008
As far as I know, you can use any property(and its value) that is available when you spy over the object (using object spy).
One thing to note is avoid using the properties which have numerical values...
example: height, width, abs_y, etc
RE: Desptive Programming for YahooMail - sherinvg - 04-20-2008
Hi,
Is that a mandatory that ,we need to include those properties in DP which we have added as mandatory and assitive properties in object identification window or else the reverse ?
Thanks and Regards

Its not mandatory that you have to only include those.
You can include any properties you want.
