Checking for Valid or broken links
Hello,
I've a large number of links present in a page, and i'm trying to verify if they're valid or broken. My accessiblity check point doesn't work, Test Complete Freezes not sure why. i've tried the below script that found in here, but it doesn't work not sure why ,,, doesn't get out of the while loop. can you please check the below code. Thanks
Sub Test
Dim page, expectedObjectData, links, linksCount, link, URL, i
URL = "www.smartbear.com"
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run(URL)
Set page = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*")
expectedObjectData = ""
' Obtains the links
Set links = page.contentDocument.links
linksCount = links.length
If linksCount > 0 Then
' Searches for broken links
For i = 0 To UBound(linksCount - 1)
Set link = links.item(i)
URL = link.href
Log.Message("The " & URL & " verification results: " & VerifyWebObject(URL, expectedObjectData))
Next
End If
End Sub
' Checks whether the specified URL is valid
Function VerifyWebObject(link, expectedObjectData)
on error resume Next
Dim httpObj
Set httpObj = Sys.OleObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
Call httpObj.open("GET", link, True)
Call httpObj.send
i=0
While (httpObj.readyState <>4 )
aqutils.Delay(1000)
WEnd
Select Case httpObj.status
Case 200
If (httpObj.responseText <> expectedObjectData) Then
Call Log.Message("The " + link + " link is valid", httpObj.responseText)
VerifyWebObject = False
Exit Function
Else
VerifyWebObject = True
End If
Case 302
If (httpObj.responseText <> expectedObjectData) Then
Call Log.Message("The " + link + " link is valid", httpObj.responseText)
VerifyWebObject = False
Exit Function
Else
VerifyWebObject = True
End If
Case Else
Call Log.Message("The " & link & " link was not found," &" the returned status: " & httpObj.status, httpObj.responseText)
VerifyWebObject = False
End Select
End Function
I would use TestComplete in-built option called aqHttpRequest
Sample code:
function checkLink(URL) { var address = URL; var aqHttpRequest = aqHttp.CreateGetRequest(address); // Send the request, get an aqHttpResponse object var aqHttpResponse = aqHttpRequest.Send(); // Read the response data Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.AllHeaders); // All headers Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.GetHeader("Content-Type")); // A specific header Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.StatusCode); // A status code Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.StatusText); // A status text Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.Text); // A response body }
