Read Local XML data Using Selenium IDE user-extensions.js

Hello!!!

 

Im new working with Selenium IDE. And im writing some User-Extensions for one WebPage testing

 

My problem is that I have the next Local XML file in "x"-path:

 

(Login.xml)

 

<?xml version=”1.0??>
<Login>
     <URL>xxx</URL>
     <User>yyy</User>
     <Password>zzz</Password>
</Login>

 

These are some Values for the Login of the WepPage that Im testing. I need a Solution to read this xml.file values and use them later using the "user-extensions.js".


Can somebody help please.


Thanks

chaco

The datadriven extension I uploaded this week does exactly that, it may be of use to you.

Hi, Sorry to bother you again.

 

Im having the next message when I try to run your script

____

 

[error] Unexpected Exception: message -> Test data couldn't be loaded or test data was empty., fileName -> chrome://selenium-ide/content/tools.js -> file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/comaces/My%20Documents/boe/ILevo/Tools/JS-Extensions/user-extensions.js, lineNumber -> 488, stack -> Error("Test data couldn't be loaded or test data was empty.")@:0 ("file://c:/googlesearches.xml")@chrome://selenium-ide/content/tools.js -> file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/comaces/My%20Documents/boe/ILevo/Tools/JS-Extensions/user-extensions.js:488 ("file://c:/googlesearches.xml","")@chrome://selenium-ide/content/tools.js -> file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/comaces/My%20Documents/boe/ILevo/Tools/JS-Extensions/user-extensions.js:526 ("file://c:/googlesearches.xml","")@chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/scripts/htmlutils.js:60 ([object Object],[object Object])@chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/scripts/selenium-commandhandlers.js:309 ()@chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/scripts/selenium-executionloop.js:112 (10)@chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/scripts/selenium-executionloop.js:78 (10)@chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/scripts/htmlutils.js:60 , name -> Error

Im using your script and the flowcontrol Script. I tried to run exactly your example but it doesnt work. (Copy command by command and added the googlesearches.xml to the c:/ drive). Am I forgeting something else or should I use some other special Settings?

Re: Read Local XML data Using Selenium IDE user-extensions.js

Hi I think there is a problem in this part of the Script

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

try {
       
        this.xmlDoc.async = false;
       //There is a problem in the next line     

        this.xmlDoc.load(xmlloc);
       
        this.index = 0;
       
        this.testdata = this.xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("test");
    }

_________________________________________

 

The Value for "xmlloc" is "file://c:/googlesearches.xml".

 

Do you have a Solution??

 

Thanks

Re: Read Local XML data Using Selenium IDE user-extensions.js

Hi,

 

Yes there's a bug in FF3 (or a new security restriction)

 

 

Replace the line

 

      this.xmlDoc.load(xmlloc);

 

by:

 

        var xhr_object = null; 
        xhr_object = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr_object.open("GET", xmlloc, false);
        xhr_object.send(null);
        this.xmlDoc=xhr_object.responseXML;

 

 

it worked fine for me

Hi all.

 

I've uploaded an update to this extension and its documentation which I hope will resolve the issues that some of you have had.

 

Constructive feedback is appreciated, as always.

 

With thanks,
