File type validation

Hi,
I have set “signed.applets.codebase_principal_support” set to the value “true” in my Mozilla.

In my selenium IDE, the below testcase (HTML format) is running fine.
type | trophy_image | C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\1.txt
click | submit
waitForAlert | Invalid Image file

But, Equivalent PHP-sel RC testcase is giving exception when I run in iexplore (In mozilla, its fine)

$this->type("trophy_image", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\1.txt");
$this->click("submit");
for ($second = 0; ; $second++) {
if ($second >= 60) $this->fail("timeout");
try {
if ("Invalid image file"== $this->getAlert()) break;
} catch (Exception $e) {}
sleep(1);
}

is giving timeout.

What's the problem here? I think as it is security issue, IE is not allowing to type in to text field. How to solve this issue?

Pls do reply any one! Thanks in advance.

Hi, Any ideas to solve my problem?

Hi Archana,

Selenium performance in IE is slow when compared to firefox , try to put wait command and try to execute ur script in selenium.

Thanks,

Did you try printing $this->getAlert()? Try that inside the loop to see what is being compared with what.
The value you are comparing it with might differ slightly or maybe the value is not being fetched from the page.

Some code suggestions: 1)It seems you need a do-while/while loop
2) ($this->getAlert() == "Invalid image file") is more readable than (Invalid image file"== $this->getAlert())
