Jubula 2.0 to VNC on Linux [message #1059604] Mon, 20 May 2013 18:39 Go to next message

I am running Jubula 2.0.00148 on Linux RH 6.4 on a remote machine which I am viewing using VNC. Let's call this machine jubula. Jubula seems alive and well and I am able to manually control it through VNC without any problems. This machine is not the problem.

However I am having problems running a test case from the jubula machine to my AUT on Linux RHEL 6.2. Let's call this machine autlinux. Because the autlinux machine is remote I am using VNC to view its "display". The AUT is Eclipse, and jubula can start it up correctly. When it tries to run the first test step in the test case which selects 'File'/'Exit' the test fails. This is because it tries to select ***the VNC menu*** and not the AUT's menu.

Note: If I run that same test to my AUT on Windows XP SP 3 it runs successfully. Let's call this machine autwindows. In other words, the test case drives the AUT and the I see the mouse move, the File & Exit menus get selected, etc. all of which I am viewing on my local Windows display (not through VNC).

Is there any known problems using VNC on AUT machines? Or do you have any suggestions for running remote AUT machines such as Linux?

Is the VNC menu auto-mapped inside the display when the mouse gets near the borders? That could explain why the RC clicks there.

There is no auto-mapping taking place. The VNC display is fixed and represents the Linux GNOME desktop which consists of a title-bar and as set of desktop menus. When the Jubula RC clicks on a menu item it skips the title bar, but then tries to selects one of the GNOME desktop menu items accidentally. In other words, the Jubula RC is unaware of where the top left corner of the AUT is started (relative location) and instead treats the top left corner of the VNC display (absolute location).

See index.php/fa/14992/0/.

So I was able to configure GNOME to move its set of desktop menus to the bottom of the screen. Again it failed because it tried to select the AUT's title-bar's window menu items. It looks like it was again selecting from the top left corner of the VNC display (absolute location).

See index.php/fa/14993/0/.

As I said earlier everything works fine on Windows (non-VNC) because there is no graphical 'overhead', that is, the title bar and menu belong to the AUT.

See index.php/fa/14994/0/.

One more piece of information. I ran on the remote Linux machine, autlinux, without using VNC, but instead using X-Windows and exported my display output back to an X-server running on my Windows, autwindows. What surprised me is that this still failed. I see the cursor moving to the top left corner and selecting the Windows menu that is in the title bar (circled in red below) and not the AUT "File" menu item just below it. Then I get an error back in Jubula stating "The submenu for "File" did not appear."
