Coded Webtest and looping thru a datasource?

Coded Webtest and looping thru a datasource?

• BarryIOS

  How do you get to the page that you are running the coded test from
  
  Try the following and see if it works:
  1) Modify the run configuration to have the number of runs you want as described earlier.
  2) Open test view.  Click the Test menu on the top menu bar, then select Windows and select Test View.
  3) Select your coded test in the test view window.
  4) Right Click on your test and choose run selection
  
  This will open the test result window and run the coded test.  When the test result window indicates the test is complete, double click to open the result.

  Same project as the webtest file. I am running the test from the test result page.

  If you mean that you are not seeing the datasource advanced when running the coded test, then you need to run multiple iterations of the coded test.  By default the data source access method is sequential.  This means that we will start with the first row of the datasource and move forward one row at a time.  If you are running the coded test for one iteration, then we will always use the first row in the datasource.  If you run the coded test for multiple iterations, then you will see more than one row used from the datasource.  You can run multiple iterations by doing the following:
  

  1) Open the Run configuration editor by Clicking on the Top level Test menu, then choose Edit Test Run Configurations, then choose the availble run configuration.
  2) Click on the Web Test Tab
  3) Change the number of iterations for a webtest.  You can either choose a fixed number of iterations or choose to execute one iteration for each row in the datasource.
  4) Save the run configuration
  5) Run the coded test
  

  
  Or do you mean that you want to advance the datasource cursor from within one test iteration   If so, then you can call the MoveDataTableCursor method when you want to move to the next row in the datasource.  The call looks like
  

  this.MoveDataTableCursor("DataSource1", "Products");
  
  In the above line, DataSource1 is the name of the datasource and Products is the name of the table.

  Unfortunately, you found a bug.  The 'one run per data source row' works correctly for the non-coded webtests, but as you found is not currently working for coded tests.

  How are you running the coded test   From the test view menu   Are you running the coded test from the same project the .webtest file was in

  Sorry, but there is not. We'll look at getting this fixed in the shipping version.

  I have done steps 1 thru 5 and it works for the webtest1.webtest but not for the webtest1Code.cs.
  
  I can get the run configuration to work with the data source but when I click generate code. A new file is created called webtest1Code.cs.
  
  I delete the webtest1.webtest and then I tried to get the webtest1code.cs to loop thru the data source but for some reason it only does one iteration.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  Ok, I can get the show details page to displays for that webtest.
  
  I do not have the option to change the run setting from a 'fixed run count' to the other option called 'one run per data source row' because that option is grayed out.
  
  I do notice that If I change the fixed run count that it does loop thru the datasource.
  
  I can get it to loop thru the datasource!
  
  Their is one problem that I noticed is that I have to know the numbers of records returned to get it to work correctly. If the fix run count is greater than the recordset count then the recordset start from the beginning again. Is there any way that I can just use the other option called 'one run per data source row'
  
  Thanks
