The above extensibility hook is during saving of the generated file. Hence it can only remove (or make certain changes) to the properties captured by the recorder. To add properties, we need a hook into the recorder to ask it to capture the properties in first place which is not there today.

Thanks.

Hi Guatam,

Can you elaborate some more on "Using the extensibility support, remove and change of search properties is possible but not add (unless you know the property value too)."? I was having trouble with CUIT recognizing some MFC controls after receiving a new test build.

I want to help CUIT find the controls with perhaps adding search properties. Most likely this will need to be done by hand coding and not recording. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

@subbu - What is the error that you are seeing? Note that the path to copy the files are different on 32bit machine vs 64 bit machine. Check for details in blogs.msdn.com/.../2-hello-world-extension-for-coded-ui-test.aspx.

Try the above Hello, World plugin to see if you are able to get that working.

Hi Gautam,

I need help on using separate UIMAP.uitest files... Here is my scenario.

1) I have created a new folder "Screen1" under my project "TSApp".

2) I added new CodedUI test by right-cliking "Screen1" folder --> "Screen1TEST.cs"

3) then added new CodedUIMap item by right-cliking "Screen1" folder --> "Screen1UIMAP.uitest" and recorded some actions --> saved as "Method_Add". Here it created "Screen1UIMAP.cs" and "Screen1UIMAP.Designer.cs" files

4) then i went to "Screen1TEST.cs" file and trying to call recorded "Method_Add" as

TSApp.Screen1.Screen1UIMAP.Method_Add()

but here it not listing out this "Screen1UIMAP" file under TSApp.Screen1..

Anything i went wrong? Can u give me an idea on this...OR

Tell me the approach to use separate UIMAP file and creating TEST based on that...

Thanks in advance,

Shanmugavel.

Great content! The extensibility series totally rocks!

I wish the comments on some of the older posts were still enabled for folks to ask qs on relevant posts. Is there a reason you want to close commenting on older posts?

Hi Buck,

The sample is for Beta 2 only. The possibility could be that some reference is not resolved properly. Check for any warning in the reference particularly Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamTest.UITest.CodeGeneration.dll. You might have to fix the path to this dll.

Thanks.
