TestStack.White.Mappings.ControlDictionaryException

[starbug8866]

Hi,

I am just starting out on White and I am getting the following error when trying to access the nodes of a tree within my .NET 4 app:

'An exception of type 'TestStack.White.Mappings.ControlDictionaryException' occurred in TestStack.White.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Multiple TestControls found for ControlType=tree view item and FrameworkId: - TestStack.White.UIItems.TreeItems.Win32TreeNode, TestStack.White.UIItems.TreeItems.WPFTreeNode, TestStack.White.UIItems.TreeItems.Win32TreeNode'

The code is as follows:

List<Window> windows = application.GetWindows();
IUIItem customToolsAddInsButton = windows[0].Get(SearchCriteria.ByText("Custom Tools (Add-Ins)"));
customToolsAddInsButton.Click();

Panel customToolsPanel = windows[0].Get<Panel>(SearchCriteria.ByAutomationId("Function.CustomTools"));

Tree customToolsTree = customToolsPanel.Get<Tree>();

foreach(TreeNode node in customToolsTree.Nodes) // Exception thrown here
{
    // do something
}

I am also using Visual UI Automation Verify and can see that the nodes are there (and can see them within the app UI). Within Verify, the hierarchy looks as follows:

• "pane" "" "Function.CustomTools"
  • "tree" "" "5376242"
  • "tree item" "This is some text"

Any help you can give is will be appreciated.

Thanks

This is a bug, it was introduced when trying to prepare for newer versions of the ui automation libraries..

The issue is that the framework is not being passed down properly. I will see if I can fix it and a few other issues and get release out this week.

Sorry about the rocky start to using White

No worries, thank you for the quick response. Looking forward to the fix!

Hey,
I have the same problem. Were found some solutions?

[szabolcslevay]

The issues is still not fixed.

[andrewtheart]

Indeed, it does not appear to be fixed ... Jake, can you indicate when the regression was introduced so we can use a prior version?

[maninwindow]

@starbug8866 I had same issue. Eventually, i fixed it myself. My solution may not be the best, but have a solution is better than nothing. My Solution

@JakeGinnivan have you had a chance to look into this further? I'm evaluating using White to test an app with many trees.

[JakeGinnivan]

No I haven't. I'm not using White currently and can't dedicate the time to fixing this up.

I am more than happy to add anyone as a contributor and can also skype to answer any questions I still remember but I don't think I will get to this soon.

[AustinMatherne]

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I'm about to tackle a large project with White. I'd be quite happy to be added as a contributor.

There's actually already an open pull request that resolves this issue (at least for me) #450. Can we get it merged?

[AustinMatherne]

@JakeGinnivan just following up on this. Can you add me as a contributor?

[JakeGinnivan]

@AustinMatherne done, sorry for the delay :)

[omireault]

I didn't isolate my fix properly, so I had to restart the PR request.
