以 Excel 文件作为数据源的数据驱动编码 UI 测试

Question

I built a coded UI test and I want to make it a data driven test , I want to get the data from an excel file ( Data.xls )located in the same directory with the project files, I used this line as shown in the MSDN site , but it didnt work , what changes should I do to the line ?

    [DataSource("System.Data.Odbc", "Dsn=Excel Files;Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};dbq=|DataDirectory|\\Data.xls;defaultdir=.;driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5;readonly=true", "Sheet1$", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), TestMethod]

thank you

Answer 1

Here's the line of code that I use to connect the DataSource to my tests:

[DataSource("System.Data.Odbc", "Dsn=Excel Files;dbq=|DataDirectory|\\Logins.xlsx;defaultdir=C:\\Data\\Logins.csv;driverid=1046;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5", "Sheet1$", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), DeploymentItem("Logins.xlsx"), TestMethod]

Then in my code I used:

LoginParams.TextBoxInfo = TestContext.DataRow["ColumnHeader"].ToString();

However, I did set my excel spreadsheet as a Deployment item. I'm not sure if you've already done that.

As a workaround create a new class, and add this data source. You can use the same UIMap, and same code, just add a new Coded UI Test. "Project"->"New CodedUI Test".

I have used same excel workbook but different sheets for my tests as below:

namespace Data_driven_testing
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for CodedUITest2
/// </summary>

[CodedUITest]

public class CodedUITest2
{
    public CodedUITest2()
    {
    }

    [DataSource("System.Data.Odbc", "Dsn=Excel Files;Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};dbq=D:\\CodedUI\\Data_driven_testing\\Data_driven_testing\\Data.xls;defaultdir=.;driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5;readonly=true", "Sheet2$", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), TestMethod]

    public void CodedUITestMethod1()
    {


        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod3Params.UITextBox1EditText = TestContext.DataRow["Input1"].ToString();
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod3Params.UITextBox2EditText = TestContext.DataRow["Input2"].ToString();
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod3();


        // To generate code for this test, select "Generate Code for Coded UI Test" from the shortcut menu and select one of the menu items.
        // For more information on generated code, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=179463
    }



 namespace Data_driven_testing
 {
   /// <summary>
   /// Summary description for CodedUITest1
   /// </summary>
[CodedUITest]
public class CodedUITest1
{
    public CodedUITest1()
    {
    }

    //[TestMethod]
    [DataSource("System.Data.Odbc", "Dsn=Excel Files;Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};dbq=D:\\CodedUI\\Data_driven_testing\\Data_driven_testing\\Data.xls;defaultdir=.;driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5;readonly=true", "Sheet1$", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), TestMethod]


    public void CodedUITestMethod1()
    {
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod1Params.UITextBox3Text = TestContext.DataRow["Input1"].ToString();
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod1Params.UITextBox4EditText = TestContext.DataRow["Input1"].ToString();

        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod1();
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod2Params.UITextBox5EditText = TestContext.DataRow["Input3"].ToString();
        this.UIMap.RecordedMethod2Params.UITextBox6EditText = TestContext.DataRow["Input4"].ToString();

        // this.UIMap.RecordedMethod2();


    }

If you could have provided us with a stack trace, may be we could have given you the exact solution.

Still, seeing your comment I think, If you get a connection error, it's most likely due to the fact that you don't have the 2007 Office System Driver installed for the OLEDB provider.
