Hi,
I'm having an issue with an ATF Test, following instructions in the DEV training. The Exercise is test a business rule in the NeedIt app. Unfortunatley everything I try fails.
The test steps are:
1. Impersonate user, Fred Luddy
2. Insert NeedIt request setting values for:
when needed: 100 days in the future
Requested for: The impersonated user
Requested for Email: The impersonated users email
3. Record Validation:
when needed: is not empty
Requested for: The impersonated user
Requested for Email: The impersonated users email
Unfortunately it fails everytime on the business rule, checking the When needed date is not in the past or today.
So I tried another test using the Record creation on the form, using the same values:
This also fails but I can see when it runs that the test is not setting any of the values using the set field values!!
Any ideas why this would be?
I'm using London: Build tag: glide-london-06-27-2018__patch1-08-15-2018
Thanks,
Barry
I am having the same problem. Based on what I can see, it looks as though the "Set Values" test step isn't working in this scenario.
I am attempting the same DEV training module, configured in what I expect is the same manner: developer instance running London, working on the NeedIt application duplicated from the ServiceNow GitHub repository, using an ATFModule code branch from the LoadForATFModule tag.
When attempting "Exercise: Create Tests from a Template" in the "Using the Automated Test Framework" module, the "When needed - Future" test fails. I added a gs.info() step to the "NeedIt When needed field date" background script to capture the field values passed into the script and they look empty:
If I deactivate the "NeedIt When needed field date" background script, the test fails on the next background script which checks for a valid email address in the "Requested for email" field.
I also tried to push the workload client side with a test that impersonates a user, opens a new form, sets the values on the form then submits the form. However, the "set values" test step looks like it isn't doing anything. This is a screenshot from the ATF:
Note: The "Requested for" and "Requested for email" fields are populated by a separate client script.
Looking at the logs for the failed tests, it appears values are present but for some reason they just aren't making onto the form or into the record in the "Record Insert" test step. Here is my first attempt at running the test:
Here is the config for the "Insert Record" step:
Note: I can manually perform the test steps without a problem.
If I set a default value (in the future) for the "When Needed" field, the ATF can successfully submit the form (without a "set values" step) and it passes the background script checks. However, this means that the other tests, "When needed - Past" and "When needed - Today" are failing for the wrong reason; the "Requested for email" field is empty. For example:
Do you know what might be causing this error?
