Week 5 Report

At week 4 I have finished the first phase of the new UI logger which was the grammar and the new sentences of the log messages and rewrite all the log statement with the new grammar.

This week I have started the implementation of the Compiler of the new logger grammar. This Compiler is responsible for taking the log file with the new grammar and generate a UI test case that performs the same as the user actions.

This week I write the python script that will take the input addresses from the user and the path of the test case to be generated. Also, I begin to implement the handler of each type of commands. This handler is the functions that called for each type of commands found in the grammar and start to replace it by the corresponding UI python functions that used for testing. I have finished this week the Starter handler, Uno commands Handler and Dialog handler.

This can be found here.

Also, all these changes are stored in this branch:

private/EL-SHREIF/ui_logger

to test the new script and the new project this can be done after adding TEXTX library to our build system to be able to test it. For now, you can use any virtual env and install python and TEXTX on it then run this command:
python3 <path_to_log_interpreter> <path_to_log_file> <path_to_a_new_python_file>

for example, if we have this log file:

We will get this UILogger:

all these images show a real example from the new project.

also, I add some minor changes in the grammar and the rewrite of Dialogs here :

next week I will Continue implementing the rest of handlers and verify that the Project performs well.

GSoC final report

Image
  Overview The idea of this GSoC project was to implement new Domain-Specific language for LibreOffice to be used in UI testing by logging the user interactions with LO applications then generate the python code needed for the python UI framework which will make testing easier. Also, the project aims to improve the logger that logs all the user interaction to be logged in the new DSL syntax to be more readable. Then we can use this replaying all the user interactions as a UI test. Achievements Grammar of new DSL done for starter_commands uno_commands dialog_commands  General_commands   Grammar that are general for all application. UI_Object_commands This support: ButtonUIObject EditUIObject CheckBoxUIObject RadioButtonUIObject  ListBoxUIObject  ComboBoxUIObject SpinUIObject  TabControlUIObject Special_commands This is for the logging of different applications actions: Writer Type Select GOTO page Calc Type Select cell or range laun

UI Logger

This post is just documentation for GSoC Project of UI logger here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#5252265672179712 This project is to generate a new easier Domain-Specific_language for logging the user interactions to be able to convert it to a python script that used by python UI framework for testing. This project made with Textx which is a meta-language for building Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) in Python. it helps you build your textual language in an easy way. You can invent your own language or build support for already existing textual language or file format. If you need to understand how the project is written and mainly the part in this folder: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/uitest/ui_logger_dsl/ I think you can easily see the tutorials here of TextX. The basics of this tutorial that you can understand with 30 mins can let you understand a lot of the project. WHY DSL? DSL is a very useful thing because it lets us understand the code

Week 8 Report

Image
This week: (The report may look very long but this is because of images only) I start testing the performance of the new UI logger. I tried this by opening the LO and start to make some actions and log the actions and convert it to a UI test. I will add here these examples of the generating logs that include most of the logger features and the corresponding generated python UI test. writer   these logs==>>  Generates this UI test ==>> Calc  these logs==>>  Generates this UI test ==>>  And by similarity, we can try math and impress... ============================================================== ============================================================== Also, I was having a problem 1) while trying to move between the UI Objects with the keyboard I got these old logs :  I worked on this and convert it to be: 2) Also solve some problems in UNO Commands that appears when you have 2 parameters. ========
