Yahoo! User Interface Library 2 Controls

Yahoo! User Interface Library 3 Controls

Note: If your control is not in the list, you can try working with it by using the properties and methods TestComplete provides for standard web elements. See Support for Web Controls.

TestComplete supports testing of Yahoo! controls in web applications displayed in the following browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer ver. 11.

• Microsoft Edge ver. 83 - 103 (Chromium-based).

  Note: The non-Chromium version of Edge is not supported.

• Mozilla Firefox ver. 91 - 102.1 ESR, 94 - 102.

  If you use a later version of Firefox, check whether a patch is available for it.

• Google Chrome ver. 103.

  If you have a TestComplete version earlier than 12.42, your version of the SmartBear Test Extension will be incompatible with newer versions of the Chrome web browser. To test web applications in Chrome 103, you will have to upgrade your TestComplete to some later version. We recommend using version 15.45.

  If you use a later version of Google Chrome, check whether a patch is available for it.

• Any web browser based on the Microsoft WebBrowser control.

  Note: The Edge-based WebBrowser control is not supported.

• Embedded Chromium web browser:

  • In applications built with Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) version 85.0.4183 and earlier (except CEF3 1750).

    Note: For CEF applications that use WPF controls, only versions 84.0.04147 and earlier are supported.

  • In applications built with Electron version 1.8.2 - 14.

• A license for the TestComplete Web module.

• The Yahoo! Control Support plugin. The plugin provides access to controls via special program objects. It also enables creating table checkpoints for controls that display data in the tabular form. For the full list of these controls, see About Tables Collection.

• The following plugins:

  • Web Testing - Implements web testing, enables testing of web applications running in Internet Explorer, Edge or WebBrowser control (but not the Edge-based WebBrowser control).

  • Firefox Support - Enables testing of web applications running in Mozilla Firefox.

  • Chrome Support - Enables testing of web applications running in Google Chrome.

  • Chromium Embedded Framework Support - Enables web testing in applications created with Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) or with Electron.

All these plugins are installed and enabled automatically.

If you experience issues when working with the controls, select File | Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu to check whether the plugins are active. If a plugin is not available, run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.

The YUI().use() method supported by the YUI 3 library allows loading YUI 2 modules and widgets into YUI 3 and creating YUI 2 controls with YUI 3 support. For more information on this, see documentation for the YUI global object (the on-line version is available at http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/yui/). TestComplete can test YUI 2 controls created with YUI 3 support, but each subsequent call of the YUI().use() method in your tested application makes controls created with the previous method call unavailable to TestComplete.

In order to implement support for the YUI 2 Calendar, DataTable, Rich Text Editor, Slider, Dual Thumb Slider and YUI 3 controls, you need to apply a special accessibility patch to the YUI 2 and YUI 3 controls' source code. The patch is shipped along with TestComplete. By default, it resides in the <TestComplete 15>\Open Apps\WebControls folder. To apply the patch to the controls' source code, do the following: Follow the link http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/patch/2.5.9-7/patch-2.5.9-7-bin.zip/download to download an archive containing the free Patch utility. Extract the patch.exe executable file and place it in the root directory of the controls' source library (the directory that contains the build folder). Place the yui_2.9.0.diff (for Yahoo! User Interface Library 2.9.0) or yui_3.x.diff and yui_3.x.bat (for Yahoo! User Interface Library 3.4.1 - 3.18.1) patch file in the same root folder in which you have placed the patch.exe file. Apply the patch as follows: Apply the patch to Yahoo! User Interface Library 2.9.0 by executing the following command line: patch -p0 --binary < yui_2.9.0.diff Apply the patch to Yahoo! User Interface Library 3.4.1 - 3.18.1 by executing the yui_3.x.bat batch file.
