Mac OS 10.10.5 + Java+maven+1.1.0 sikuli : Safari gets terminated & Test suite stops abruptly

[Naidu]

Below is the error log:
I am using java+maven+1.1.0 sikuli version.
In my code, before every test case, i start the safari browser, do something & close the browser.
When i run the test cases individually, i am facing no issues.
But when i run it as a suite, safari is getting terminated & tests are unable to proceed further.

Below is the log:

[debug] Runner: AppleScript:
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "System Events"
set found to "NotFound"
try
set found to first item of (processes whose name is "safari")
end try
end tell
if not found is equal to "NotFound" then
set windowName to ""
try
set windowName to name of first window of application (name of found)
end try
set found to {name of found, «class idux» of found, windowName}
end if
found

returned:

how do you stop and start Safari?

[Naidu (myqafreelance)]

Hi raiman,

i used the code from your maven sample.

Start the browser:

App ff = new App(browser);
      ff.focus();
      if (null == screen.exists(image)) {
          while (null == ff.window()) {
            screen.wait(1f);
          }
          screen.type("l", Key.CMD);
          screen.wait(1f);
          screen.paste(link);
          screen.type(Key.ENTER);
          screen.wait(image, waitTime);
      }

But when it comes to stopping the browser, instead of using App.close() method, i am sending cmd+q to quit the app.

The reason i am sending cmd+q :
If i use App.close(), when i run the safari next time, the safari browser also opens with the previous session tabs, which i do not want.
but when i use cmd+q, safari starts fresh & a new window gets opened.

ok, thanks.

... and where do you get the mentioned error?

[Naidu (myqafreelance)]

After Multiple tests run successfully, i.e opening & closing safari several times, one of the test fails with this reason & all the rest of the tests gets aborted from then on.

The debug info is generated at console.

I made some tests with the latest build on OS X 10.10.5 using Safari and found this as a generic workflow to:

- start the browser and open an url in any possible browser situation (not open, open with now window, open with one or more windows)
- close the browser after having closed all tabs (so next time on open no tabs will be opened automatically independently from settings)

using the latest App features of 1.1.0.
I had no problems

you have to transcript it to Java ;-)

def openURL(browser, img, url = "http://sikulix.com"):
  if not browser.isRunning():
    print "opening"
    browser.focus()
    wait(1)
    if not browser.window():
      print "new window"
      browser.focus()
      wait(0.5)
      type("n", Key.CMD)
  else:
    print "focusing"
    browser.focus()
    wait(0.5)
    if not browser.window():
      print "new window"
      type("n", Key.CMD)

  print "waiting for window"
  while not browser.window():
    wait(1)

  print "acting"
  if not exists(img, 0):
    type("l", Key.CMD);
    wait(0.5);
    paste(url);
    type(Key.ENTER);
    wait(img, 5);

def closeBrowser(browser):
  if browser.isRunning():
    print "closing"
    if browser.window():
      browser.focus()
      wait(0.5)
      while browser.window():
        type("w", Key.CMD);
        wait(0.5)
    browser.close()

browser = App("Safari")
base = "base.png"

closeBrowser(browser) # make sure browser is closed

for i in range(5):
  openURL(browser, base)
  highlight(-2)
  closeBrowser(browser)
  wait(1)

I found, that someApp.open() seems to have problems on Mac currently (I will fix that later), so I used someApp.focus() to open the browser instead.

Thanks Raiman.
I am able to solve it by keeping a slight delay of 2-3 seconds after i quit safari & before i re-open it again
