Scenario recording show form parameter, but Parameter wizard doesn't see it
Hello,
I've been using LoadComplete in the Trial version for a couple weeks now. I've created a list of enhancements of how I'd like to the tool to work based on my experience (Silk and JMeter) and expectations of such a tool. I'd like to discuss here one particular problem I've encountered.
I have a simple scenario recorded, one of the requests (shown in the attachments) is Request 0008 for getResults.cfm. The HTTP Request is an AJAX call with header x-requested-with: XMLHttpRequest. This request sends a URL Parameter for ShowAll, and a Form parameter called Search, with a simple text string value. I want to parameterize the Form parameter value based on a CSV file.
However, when I go to the Set Parameter Values wizard, the Request 0008 for getResults.cfm the the form parameter is not shown, only the URL parameter is shown, even though the "Show Form Parameters" box is enabled. Therefore, I cannot associate the form field Search with an external CSV data provider.
The Set Parameter Values wizard does not allow me to inject a new form variable, in the case where it does not appear and I want to add it here. When I attempt to highlight Request0008 and click NEXT I get the warning "Please select a parameter first".
So, first there is the issue of the wizard not seeing the form field for the request. Second is the issue of not being able to add a parameter ad-hoc later.
From the Scenario > Request 0008 > Request > Form > Parameter/Value window I can select click on the Value field and select from existing variables, but it does not allow me to create a new variable right there in that window and associate with a CSV file. That would be a nice enhancement.
Thank you.
