Visual Studio 2013编码的UI无法识别单选按钮

Question

I'm currently using Visual Studio 2013 to automate some basic tests on a webpage, such as entering and deleting text in text fields within the webpage etc.

One of the tests I'd like to complete, is via the use of Radio buttons, to select gender (M/F/O). However, the click for this selection always fails with an exception:

Test Name:    CodedUITestMethod1
Test Outcome: Failed

Result Message: 

Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.FailedToPerformActionOnHiddenControlException: Cannot perform 'SetProperty of Selected with value "True"' on the hidden control. Additional Details: 
TechnologyName:  'Web'
ControlType:  'RadioButton'
TagName:  'INPUT'
Id:  'ContentPlaceHolder1_customers_general1_rblGender_1'
Name:  'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$customers_general1$rblGender'
 ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0xF004F002

I note that there are several instances of similar failures reported on the internet, some to do with Microsoft security patch KB2870699 - which I don't see listed in my patches.

Many of the other reported issues seem to be 'more bespoke' than 'general'.

Is there a 'more general' issue out there that causes this issue, for which there may be a simple fix?

Has this Microsoft security patch KB2870699 been superceeded?

At a loss to see how these Radio buttons don't work while other aspects on the same page under test function as expected.

These particular Radio Buttons, I have never had to function at all.

Answer 1

the error you are given: "Cannot perform 'SetProperty of Selected with value "True"' on the hidden control" suggest there is some other control that is blocking the radio button and prevents you from setting it. try checking perhaps there is a toolTip or something related that is blocking your control.

if you could post the rest of the code that might help understanding the problem better.
