Update: I tried clearing the created cookie in the browser and trying it again, and it didn't happen. Conceivably I set a cookie with the value "null" at some point.
(Ok, this is probably a retorical question, so I'm making it CW)
The documentation for Google Web Toolkit says this about Cookies.getCookie:
public static java.lang.String getCookie(java.lang.String name)
Gets the cookie associated with the given name.
Parameters:
name - the name of the cookie to be retrieved
Returns:
the cookie's value, or null if the cookie doesn't exist
Well, I've just spent a number of hours beating my head against a wall because at least in the hosted mode browser (I haven't tested with a real browser yet), it doesn't return null, it returns "null", ie the literal string, 4 characters long starting with "n".
Both null and "null" look remarkably similar if you print them out, but only one responds to a if (cookie == null) Cookies.setCookie(cookie, newValue);
Is there any conceivable reason why Google did it this way, or is somebody just screwing me around?
I can understand your headache (I posted a bug about gwt cookie documentation a while ago: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=387&can=1 )
Which version of GWT are you using?
Which browser did you test in?
I just looked at the code for 1.6.4 (they ship the source), and I'd encourage you to file this as a bug. See issue 2994 for something close, but I think this is different enough to warrent its own bug filing.
It looks like GWT handles hashmaps in a different manner (for performance reasons?) than regular hashmaps; see java.util.AbstractHashMap in the com/google/gwt/emul directory when you unpack the gwt-user.jar file. Here's the get() impelementation.
return (key == null) ? nullSlot : (!(key instanceof String) ? getHashValue(
key, getHashCode(key)) : getStringValue((String) key));
And maybe this is the issue.
Hope this helps.

are you sure there isn't a cookie set to a value of "null"? You should have a look at the headers on the response, just to make sure. Depending on the version of GWT this is possible in different ways -- easiest might be hitting "Compile" and trying a real browser, they make it easy to see the headers.
I think setting a cookie null makes the value of the cookie "null" (String)
You should remove the cookie with Cookies.removeCookie("CookieName") which should delete the cookie and your query will return the real null not the string one.
Maybe trying with a duration can change the situation. Try this:
Date now = new Date();
long nowLong = now.getTime();
nowLong = nowLong + (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7);//seven days
now.setTime(nowLong);
Cookies.setCookie("sampleCookieName", "sampleCookiValue", now);

I'm learning Chrome Postman now and my issue now is:
I need to generate a new value of a parameter for each request.
So each request (I make a POST) must have a unique value of this parameter.
So far I thought to manage it with environment variables and I have done it like this:
I add a new environment variable with a unique value
I use this variable in the "value" field on a parameter
And it doesn't work - I get error 401 Authorization Required.
Seems that the error is not connected to the parameter at all but as soon as I change the parameter and manually input a unique data it works well!
So this will work for me:
Please suggest what I'm doing wrong here and advice how to do it right. Thanks!
Spent some more hours investigating I found my problem!
The problem is the value I put into a variable - it included ":" sign and this sign simply changed my URL.
According to the SSO documentation for IA these attributes should be available (I'm guessing a bit at the attributes URI):
First Name (http://axschema.org/namePerson/first)
Last Name (http://axschema.org/namePerson/last)
Realm Id (http://axschema.org/intuit/realmId)
Reviewing the query string passed during stage 3 of the open id request, here are the attributes present:
openid.alias3.type.alias1 => http://axschema.org/namePerson
openid.alias3.value.alias1 => Full Name
openid.alias3.type.alias2 => http://axschema.org/contact/email
openid.alias3.value.alias2 => email#test.com
Bug, error in the documentation, or loose nut behind the keyboard?
Two problems here, the first problem is in my haste of cut and paste coding I was only requesting the full name and email. I revised the code to request first name, last name, and realm id. Now first name and last name come through fine. However, it took a big of poking around to get to the bottom of the realm id issue. First, the documentation did not give a clear answer on the attribute uri; however, I was able to find a clear answer on this thread https://idnforums.intuit.com/textthread.aspx?catid=69&threadid=16954. Paul Jackson gives a clear idea what is going on here:
The attribute for realm id is http://axschema.org/intuit/realmId
Sometimes the attribute does not come through
I put together a technique based on his suggestion in this thread. Basically, if the realm id does not come through then I'll parse it from the referring url which has it in the query string as realmId. Clearly, this is brittle but provides a "working" solution for now.
Here is a code snippet you can use during stage 3 of the handshake.
_realmId = fetch.GetAttributeValue(OpenId.IntuitWellKnownRealmId);
if (_realmId == null && httpRequest.UrlReferrer != null)
{
var url = httpRequest.UrlReferrer.ToString();
var i = url.IndexOf('?');
if (i != -1)
{
var querystring = url.Substring(i);
_realmId = System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(querystring)["realmId"];
}
}
I take zero credit for this solution, Paul already had it figured out. Just posting here to help anyone searching on this problem.
Using Watir Webdriver, I wanted to have a helper that would check for any element with given id. I may not know what type it is ( button or link or text). Can I just do
browser.Element(:id, id).exists
All of the examples i've found on google check against a specific element type, as in
browser.button(:id," ").exits
If there is a way, please share the syntax.
In Watir-Webdriver, I would use something like this:
browser.element(class: 'post-tag').exists?
which would find the watir-webdriver tag on this page and report that it exists. Note that I used the 1.9 syntax instead of the alternative syntaxes of:
browser.element(:class => 'post-tag').exists?
or
browser.element(:class, 'post-tag').exists?
As Dave points out, there is #element method. (You were wrong just in capitalization, it is not #Element.)
Since you are asking about accessing it using id attribute, try this:
browser.element(:id => id)
I've never gotten .exists? to work right on it's own.
What I've had to use in these cases has been to explicitly validate the "exist?"... like:
cf_checbox = #browser.text_field(:id=>'continue-ring', :value=>true).exists?
assert( cf_description == true)
without that explicit assertion, I would always get a "true" even when the value didn't exist.
I'm using a plugin and want to perform an action based on the records statuscode value. I've seen online that you can use entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"] to get values from option sets but when try it I get an error saying "The given key was not present in the dictionary".
I know this can happen when the plugin cant find the change for the field you're looking for, but i've already checked that this does exist using entity.Contains("statuscode") and it passes by that fine but still hits this error.
Can anyone help me figure out why its failing?
Thanks
I've not seen the entity.FormattedValues before.
I usually use the entity.Attributes, e.g. entity.Attributes["statuscode"].
MSDN
Edit
Crm wraps many of the values in objects which hold additional information, in this case statuscode uses the OptionSetValue, so to get the value you need to:
((OptionSetValue)entity.Attributes["statuscode"]).Value
This will return a number, as this is the underlying value in Crm.
If you open up the customisation options in Crm, you will usually (some system fields are locked down) be able to see the label and value for each option.
If you need the label, you could either do some hardcoding based on the information in Crm.
Or you could retrieve it from the metadata services as described here.
To avoid your error, you need to check the collection you wish to use (rather than the Attributes collection):
if (entity.FormattedValues.Contains("statuscode")){
var myStatusCode = entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"];
}
However although the SDK fails to confirm this, I suspect that FormattedValues are only ever present for numeric or currency attributes. (Part-speculation on my part though).
entity.FormattedValues work only for string display value.
For example you have an optionset with display names as 1, 2, 3,
The above statement do not recognize these values because those are integers. If You have seen the exact defintion of formatted values in the below link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.formattedvaluecollection.aspx
you will find this statement is valid for only string display values. If you try to use this statement with Integer values it will throw key not found in dictionary exception.
So try to avoid this statement for retrieving integer display name optionset in your code.
Try this
string Title = (bool)entity.Attributes.Contains("title") ? entity.FormattedValues["title"].ToString() : "";
When you are talking about Option set, you have value and label. What this will give you is the label. '?' will make sure that the null value is never passed.
I'm currently working on benchmarking a RESTful service I've made, and part of that is making sure it runs in a reasonable amount of times for a large array of parameters. For example, let's say I have RESTful API of the form some_site.com/item?item_id=y. In that case to be sure my service is working as fast as I'd like it to work, I'd want to try out many values for y one by one, preferably coming from some text file. I can't figure out any way of doing this in ab or httperf. I'm open to using a different benchmarking program if I have, but would prefer something simple and light. What I want to do seems like something pretty standard, so I'm guessing there must already be a program that let's me do it, but an hour or so of googling hasn't gotten me an answer. Ideas?
Answer: Jmeter (which is apparently awesome). This faq explains how to do it. Hopefully this helps someone else, as it took me like a day of searching to figure this out.
I have just had some good experience with using JavaScript (via BSF/Rhino) in JMeter.
I have put one thread group in my test plan and stick a 'Simple Controller' with two elements under it - 'HTTP Request' sampler and 'BSF PreProcessor'.
Set BSF language to 'javascript' and either type the code into the text box or point it to a file (use full path or relative to CWD of JMeter process).
/* Since `Math.random()` gives us float, we use `java.util.Random()`
* see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html */
var Random = new Packages.java.util.Random();
var min = 10-1;
var max = 2;
var maxLines = (min)+Random.nextInt(max-min);
var s = '';
for (var d = 0; d <= maxLines; d++) {
s += d.toString()+','+Random.nextInt(1000).toString()+'\n';
}
// s => '0,312\n1,104\n2,608\n'
vars.put('PAYLOAD', s);
Now I can refer to ${PAYLOAD} in the HTTP request!
You can generate JSON, but you will need to upgrade jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1/lib/js-1.6R5.jar with the newest version of Rhino to get JSON.stringify and JSON.parse. That worked perfectly for me also, though I thought I'd put a simple example here.
You can use BSF pre-processor for URL params as well, just set another variable with vars.put('X', 'some value') and pass it as ${X} in the request parameter.
This blog post helped quite a bit, by the way.
