I'm having an issue running Selenium tests in NUnit from Cruise Control .NET. I have a simple test that runs fine when I run from the NUnit GUI on our continuous integration server. However when the NUnit test is run from Cruise Control .NET on the same server, the test always fails. Tests that don't use Selenium run fine from both the NUnit GUI and from Cruise Control.
[SetUp]
public void SetupTest()
{
Driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
}
[TearDown]
public void TeardownTest()
{
Driver.Quit();
}
/// <summary>
/// Test basic Selenium functionality.
/// </summary>
[Test]
public void SeleniumTest()
{
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(TestConfig.TestURL);
IWebElement testEle = WaitForElement(Driver, By.Id, "body", TestConfig.TestWaitMS);
Assert.IsTrue(true);
}
private static IWebElement WaitForElement(IWebDriver driver, ByFunc byFunc, string elementId, int waitMs,
string waitOutput = null, int pause = 50)
{
bool elementFound = false;
int i = 0;
IWebElement webElement = null;
while (!elementFound && (i * pause) < waitMs)
{
try
{
webElement = driver.FindElement(byFunc(elementId));
elementFound = true;
}
catch (NoSuchElementException)
{
i++;
Thread.Sleep(pause);
if (waitOutput != null)
Console.Write(waitOutput);
}
}
if (elementFound)
return webElement;
else
throw new NoSuchElementException(string.Format("Could not find element {0} after waiting {1}ms.", elementId, waitMs));
}
WaitForElement is just a helper function that allows me to assign specific waits for certain elements rather than have a blanket waiting time for the entire test run.
The test fails when the NoSuchElementException is raised from the WaitForElement function.
I've found some links on Google saying that you need to run SeleniumRC as a service to get it to run from Cruise Control. I don't think that applies here as I'm using the WebDriver version. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the pointers #Arran. Switching to a Firefox driver fixed the issue. I guess the fault must lie somewhere in the Internet Explorer driver.

I am trying to build an ASP.Net, c# application to expose few IIS management related activities through web interface for a distributed Admin group.
I am making use of System.Management.Automation V3.0 library to wrap power shell commands. As a first step I wanted to list all Web Applications that are currently up and running on local IIS by invoking Get-WebApplication command.
This is where I am facing the issue. Method call is neither throwing any exception nor its returning the result. Does anyone know the root cause of this issue? Please share your experience of building such interface using System.Management.Automation.dll.
var shell = PowerShell.Create();
shell.Commands.AddScript("Get-WebApplication | Out-String");
try
{
var results = shell.Invoke();
if (results.Count > 0)
{
var builder = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var psObject in results)
{
builder.Append(psObject.BaseObject.ToString() + "\r\n");
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
PS: Get-Service in place of Get-WebApplication works absolutely fine by returning list of services available on the machine.
PowerShell.Create() does not create new PowerShell process. If you does not specify Runspace for it, then it will create new in-process Runspace. Since it run in your process, it will match your process bitness and you can not change that. To create Runspace with different bitness you need to create out of process Runspace. Here is a sample console application, which demonstrate how you can do that:
using System;
using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
public static class TestApplication {
public static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine(Environment.Is64BitProcess);
using(PowerShellProcessInstance pspi = new PowerShellProcessInstance()) {
string psfn = pspi.Process.StartInfo.FileName;
psfn=psfn.ToLowerInvariant().Replace("\\syswow64\\", "\\sysnative\\");
pspi.Process.StartInfo.FileName=psfn;
using(Runspace r = RunspaceFactory.CreateOutOfProcessRunspace(null, pspi)) {
r.Open();
using(PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create()) {
ps.Runspace=r;
ps.AddScript("[Environment]::Is64BitProcess");
foreach(PSObject pso in ps.Invoke()) {
Console.WriteLine(pso);
}
}
}
}
}
}
If you compile this application as x32, it still will use x64 out of process Runspace on x64 operation system.
I'm attempting to use JESS in order to utilise a rule-based system for making a robot. I've got both robocode and the JESS .jar imported into Eclipse. Here's my code -
public class myRobot extends Robot {
Rete r = new Rete();
public void run() {
try {
String reset = "(reset)";
r.executeCommand(reset);
String enemyInfo = "(deftemplate enemyInfo (slot present) (slot energy) (slot name))";
r.executeCommand(enemyInfo);
while (true) {
String command = "(assert (enemyInfo (present no) (energy -1) (name none)))";
r.executeCommand(command);
}
} catch (JessException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
}
public void onScannedRobot(ScannedRobotEvent e) {
try {
String command = "(assert (enemyInfo (present yes) (energy " + e.getEnergy() + ") (name " + e.getName() + ")))";
r.executeCommand(command);
} catch (JessException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
}
}
I haven't added in any rules yet because I just wanted to check that robocode and JESS run properly together. When I fire this up, the robocode application opens up. But when I try adding this robot in a battle and starting it, the application just freezes up completely.
I can't access the robot's console to see what's wrong since it hangs just immediately after I try and start a battle. Since all my System.out.println() debugging statements are printed to the robot's console as opposed to the main one, I can't even figure out what's wrong. Any suggestions to get this to work?
The problem is, that the robocode application does not know the JESS library. You will need to include it in the jar of your exported robot.

I want to make a plugin for Eclipse. The thing is that I looked into the API, and examples, and I managed to make a button on main bar, with a specific icon, and when I click it, open up an InputDialog.
The hard part, is that I want to start an aplication from this button, but not with Runtime as it was a new process. I simply want to start a class inside plugin, which will log in to a server and get some output from it. I want it to be opened in a console, like launching a normal application, or a separate console.
The best example of this kind is a Tomcat plugin which starts Tomcat, and then outputs the console to the Eclipse console. I want to do that too. I've looked at the Tomcat source plugin, but I got stuck there too. They use their own launcher.
I am not sure what you mean by "I want to simply start a class". I assume there is a command line tool that you want to execute and redirect its output to the console window.
To be able to do that without spawning a new process, you have to be able to control the output stream of the tool. If it cannot be controlled, then you have no choice but to start a new process to properly capture the tool's output.
It is technically possible to call System.setOut instead, but it will redirect output from all threads to your console which is not what you want.
Nevertheless you start by creating a console:
// function findConsole copied from:
// http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_write_to_the_console_from_a_plug-in%3F
private MessageConsole findConsole(String name) {
ConsolePlugin plugin = ConsolePlugin.getDefault();
IConsoleManager conMan = plugin.getConsoleManager();
IConsole[] existing = conMan.getConsoles();
for (int i = 0; i < existing.length; i++)
if (name.equals(existing[i].getName()))
return (MessageConsole) existing[i];
//No console found, so create a new one.
MessageConsole myConsole = new MessageConsole(name, null);
conMan.addConsoles(new IConsole[]{myConsole});
return myConsole;
}
// Find my console
MessageConsole cons = findConsole("MyTool Console");
MessageConsoleStream out = cons.newMessageStream();
// Optionally get it's input stream so user can interact with my tool
IOConsoleInputStream in = cons.getInputStream();
// Optionally make a differently coloured error stream
MessageConsoleStream err = cons.newMessageStream();
err.setColor(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));
// Display the console.
// Obtain the active page. See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_find_the_active_workbench_page%3F
IWorkbenchPage page = ...;
String id = IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW;
IConsoleView view = (IConsoleView) page.showView(id);
view.display(cons);
Then set the input and output streams of my tool and start processing in a different thread so the UI will not block.
// Create my tool and redirect its output
final MyTool myTool = new MyTool();
myTool.setOutputStream(out);
myTool.setErrorStream(err);
myTool.setInputStream(in);
// Start it in another thread
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
myTool.startExecuting();
}
});
t.start();
If your tool does not support I/O redirection, you have no choice but to start it in another process with the ProcessBuilder and use a number of threads to move data between console and process streams See: Process.getInputStream(), Process.getOutputStream() and Process.getErrorStream().

This is the code for running a new console with controls, like stop delete, and deleteAll! This is what I asked for in the beginning, but the message console is good to know!

From within an Eclipse plugin, I'd like to run an Ant build script. I also want to display the Ant output to the user, by displaying it in an Eclipse console. Finally, I also want to wait for the Ant build to be finished, and capture the result: did the build succeed or fail?
I found three ways to run an Ant script from eclipse:
Instantiate an org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner, call some setters and call run() or run(IProgressMonitor). The result is either normal termination (indicating success), or a CoreException with an IStatus containing a BuildException (indicating failure), or else something else went wrong. However, I don't see the Ant output anywhere.
Instantiate an org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner and call run(Object), passing a String[] containing the command line arguments. The result is either normal termination (indication success), or an InvocationTargetException (indicating failure), or else something else went wrong. The Ant output is sent to Eclipse's stdout, it seems; it is not visible in Eclipse itself.
Call DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager(), then on that call getLaunchConfigurationType(IAntLaunchConfigurationConstants.ID_ANT_BUILDER_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION_TYPE), then on that set attribute "org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_LOCATION" to the build file name (and attribute DebugPlugin.ATTR_CAPTURE_OUTPUT to true) and finally call launch(). The Ant output is shown in an Eclipse console, but I have no idea how to capture the build result (success/failure) in my code. Or how to wait for termination of the launch, even.
Is there any way to have both console output and capture the result?
Edit 05/16/2016 #Lii alerted me to the fact that any output between the ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy#launch call and when the IStreamListener is appended will be lost. He made a contribution to this answer here.
Original Answer
I realize this is an old post, but I was able to do exactly what you want in one of my plugins. If it doesn't help you at this point, maybe it will help someone else. I originally did this in 3.2, but it has been updated for 3.6 API changes...
// show the console
final IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow()
.getActivePage();
activePage.showView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW);
// let launch manager handle ant script so output is directed to Console view
final ILaunchManager manager = DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager();
ILaunchConfigurationType type = manager.getLaunchConfigurationType(IAntLaunchConstants.ID_ANT_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION_TYPE);
final ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy workingCopy = type.newInstance(null, [*** GIVE YOUR LAUNCHER A NAME ***]);
workingCopy.setAttribute(ILaunchManager.ATTR_PRIVATE, true);
workingCopy.setAttribute(IExternalToolConstants.ATTR_LOCATION, [*** PATH TO ANT SCRIPT HERE ***]);
final ILaunch launch = workingCopy.launch(ILaunchManager.RUN_MODE, null);
// make sure the build doesnt fail
final boolean[] buildSucceeded = new boolean[] { true };
((AntProcess) launch.getProcesses()[0]).getStreamsProxy()
.getErrorStreamMonitor()
.addListener(new IStreamListener() {
#Override
public void streamAppended(String text, IStreamMonitor monitor) {
if (text.indexOf("BUILD FAILED") > -1) {
buildSucceeded[0] = false;
}
}
});
// wait for the launch (ant build) to complete
manager.addLaunchListener(new ILaunchesListener2() {
public void launchesTerminated(ILaunch[] launches) {
boolean patchSuccess = false;
try {
if (!buildSucceeded[0]) {
throw new Exception("Build FAILED!");
}
for (int i = 0; i < launches.length; i++) {
if (launches[i].equals(launch)
&& buildSucceeded[0]
&& !((IProgressMonitor) launches[i].getProcesses()[0]).isCanceled()) {
[*** DO YOUR THING... ***]
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
[*** DO YOUR THING... ***]
} finally {
// get rid of this listener
manager.removeLaunchListener(this);
[*** DO YOUR THING... ***]

I'd like to add one thing to happytime harry's answer.
Sometimes the first writes to the stream happens before the stream listener is added. Then streamAppended on the listener is never called for those writes so output is lost.
See for example this bug. I think happytime harry's solution might have this problem. I myself registered my stream listener in ILaunchListener.launchChanged and this happened 4/5 times.
If one wants to be sure to get all the output from a stream then the IStreamMonitor.getContents method can be used to fetch the output that happened before the listener got added.
The following is an attempt on a utility method that handles this. It is based on the code in ProcessConsole.
/**
* Adds listener to monitor, and calls listener with any content monitor already has.
* NOTE: This methods synchronises on monitor while listener is called. Listener may
* not wait on any thread that waits for monitors monitor, what would result in dead-lock.
*/
public static void addAndNotifyStreamListener(IStreamMonitor monitor, IStreamListener listener) {
// Synchronise on monitor to prevent writes to stream while we are adding listener.
// It's weird to synchronise on monitor because that's a shared object, but that's
// what ProcessConsole does.
synchronized (monitor) {
String contents = monitor.getContents();
if (!contents.isEmpty()) {
// Call to unknown code while synchronising on monitor. This is dead-lock prone!
// Listener must not wait for other threads that are waiting in line to
// synchronise on monitor.
listener.streamAppended(contents, monitor);
}
monitor.addListener(listener);
}
}
PS: There is some weird stuff going on in ProcessConsole.java. Why is the content buffering switched of from the ProcessConsole.StreamListener constructor?! If the ProcessConsole.StreamListener runs before this one maybe this solution doesn't work.
We require programmatic access to a SQL Server Express service as part of our application. Depending on what the user is trying to do, we may have to attach a database, detach a database, back one up, etc. Sometimes the service might not be started before we attempt these operations. So we need to ensure the service is started. Here is where we are running into problems. Apparently the ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running) returns prematurely for SQL Server Express. What is really puzzling is that the master database seems to be immediately available, but not other databases. Here is a console application to demonstrate what I am talking about:
namespace ServiceTest
{
using System;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Threading;
class Program
{
private static readonly ServiceController controller = new ServiceController("MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS");
private static readonly Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch();
static void Main(string[] args)
{
stopWatch.Start();
EnsureStop();
Start();
OpenAndClose("master");
EnsureStop();
Start();
OpenAndClose("AdventureWorksLT");
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void EnsureStop()
{
Console.WriteLine("EnsureStop enter, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
if (controller.Status != ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)
{
controller.Stop();
controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped);
Thread.Sleep(5000); // really, really make sure it stopped ... this has a problem too.
}
Console.WriteLine("EnsureStop exit, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
private static void Start()
{
Console.WriteLine("Start enter, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
controller.Start();
controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);
// Thread.Sleep(5000);
Console.WriteLine("Start exit, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
private static void OpenAndClose(string database)
{
Console.WriteLine("OpenAndClose enter, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
var connection = new SqlConnection(string.Format(#"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog={0};integrated security=SSPI", database));
connection.Open();
connection.Close();
Console.WriteLine("OpenAndClose exit, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
}
}
On my machine, this will consistently fail as written. Notice that the connection to "master" has no problems; only the connection to the other database. (You can reverse the order of the connections to verify this.) If you uncomment the Thread.Sleep in the Start() method, it will work fine.
Obviously I want to avoid an arbitrary Thread.Sleep(). Besides the rank code smell, what arbitary value would I put there? The only thing we can think of is to put some dummy connections to our target database in a while loop, catching the SqlException thrown and trying again until it works. But I'm thinking there must be a more elegant solution out there to know when the service is really ready to be used. Any ideas?
EDIT: Based on feedback provided below, I added a check on the status of the database. However, it is still failing. It looks like even the state is not reliable. Here is the function I am calling before OpenAndClose(string):
private static void WaitForOnline(string database)
{
Console.WriteLine("WaitForOnline start, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(string.Format(#"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;initial catal
using (var command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
connection.Open();
try
{
command.CommandText = "SELECT [state] FROM sys.databases WHERE [name] = #DatabaseName";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#DatabaseName", database);
byte databaseState = (byte)command.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("databaseState = {0}", databaseState);
while (databaseState != OnlineState)
{
Thread.Sleep(500);
databaseState = (byte)command.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("databaseState = {0}", databaseState);
}
}
finally
{
connection.Close();
}
}
Console.WriteLine("WaitForOnline exit, {0:N0}", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
I found another discussion dealing with a similar problem. Apparently the solution is to check the sys.database_files of the database in question. But that, of course, is a chicken-and-egg problem. Any other ideas?
Service start != database start.
Service is started when the SQL Server process is running and responded to the SCM that is 'alive'. After that the server will start putting user databases online. As part of this process, it runs the recovery process on each database, to ensure transactional consistency. Recovery of a database can last anywhere from microseconds to whole days, it depends on the ammount of log to be redone and the speed of the disk(s).
After the SCM returns that the service is running, you should connect to 'master' and check your database status in sys.databases. Only when the status is ONLINE can you proceed to open it.
