eventually get an error in NUnit GUI, failed to start up socket

jimevans: sounds fun

lukeis: no, it's all features

.net...FF 35.0.1 for now

hey all

kind of OT, but I'm having some trouble with performance/stability when running tests remotely through a VM

any tips or tricks to help avoid false positives?

make sure your VM is up to date, has all the extra graphics packages (like the guest additions for virtualbox) and that you've allocated enough RAM to it

otherwise not really, VMs are generally going to be not as fast or stable as a native system

joshin4colours good network link is also important

true

WhereIsMySpoon: dude-x: thanks

4 GB of RAM should be enough for everyone

"4GB of RAM ought to be enough for everyone." - Gill Bates

joshin4colours: depends how many nodes you're going to run on it

dude-x: who is this Gill Bates person? Is he famous?

Doesn't he run a company about mice or something?

something about doors

yea

hi, everyone

anyone had problems with scrolling a table in IE and firefox

I've updated from 2.47.3 to 2.48.0 and it doesn't work ok

Actually it scrolls, but more bottom than the element is located, so the click doesn't work.

lukeis in appium, a send keys to an element will first tap on the left side of the element, and then "Type" the string. is there a way to modify the tapping location? the app i'm working on has a sliding menu to the left that looks for left taps.

not sure… maybe using the Action chains?

dude-x: is this a webview or native?

native

but what if send_keys command is hard wired to tap to the left?

ok… if you're using 'selendroid' then I could possibly help further… otherwise, i'm out ;)

our app is targeted towards api 19+

so? :)

i thought selendroid is only good for up to 17?

selendroid works with marshmallow ;)

Hi. When I open datepicker it shadows one element I want to click on later. I'm using EC.element_to_be_clickable but still the element that is above gets clicked. Any ideas?

interesting

lukeis is selendroid better to use than the Appium api?

you use a pesky word in there, where i'm not able to answer accurately… "better"

lukeis knowing appium and selendroid; can selendroid do things that appium can not do?

selendroid uses android's Instrumentation framework… Appium uses android's UI Automator framework

yes… but there's some things selendroid can't do

if you use webviews in your app, for me, the answer is a no-brainer, to use selendroid… if you're all (or mostly) native, then you have to choose :)

my native team chose appium

but we also use selendroid for our "core" product, because it's mostly webview

the app my team works on is 99% native

UI Automator is better than instruments for native pieces

there is work being started to use UI Automator2 ;)

https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/post... "UI Automator is now based on Android Instrumentation"

so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(fucking android is coming....)

well iOS has UITesting

it's missing some features from the old UI Automatiion

hi

anybody know how to make intellij "optimize imports", but actually put import statements in for unambiguous classes?

optimizing imports just "removes unused"

doesn't put any in

hey guys, is there somewhere online where I can get selenium logo stickers for my laptop?

does anyone here have any experience with using python and selenium? wonder how often it's used

eindoofus: from the chatter i see in this channel on a daily basis, i'd say python is probably the second or third most popular language people use with selenium

java is the proverbial 400-pound gorilla, but i'd guess python next, and javascript not far behind that.

eindoofus i use selenium with python
