Hello Marco,

I understand your point of view and that you still need to launch the WPF application from a coded step. That said, the functionality is currently implemented in the Telerik Testing Framework and you can pass the arguments directly in the LaunchNewApplication() method.

As per my understanding, you are interested in this feature being extended to allow launching the initial WPF application with arguments. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and I will create new feedback item to investigate this feature request further and plan in for our future releases.

Thank you for your input in this discussion.

Hello Marco,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this feature. Please excuse me for not updating this feature request as it was released.

I am happy to tell you that this feature request was implemented in the Telerik Testing Framework. You can find more details on how to run the WPF application with arguments, via a coded step.

1. Configure the WPF test to start a dummy application, or the real application under test.
2. As the first step in your test, add a coded step that closes the initial application and launches the real WPF application with the necessary arguments. Please check the sample code below.
3. Proceed to execute the rest of the WPF test steps.

var app = this.ActiveApplication;
string fileName = app.AppFileName;
           
app.Quit();
           
this.Manager.LaunchNewApplication(fileName, "testArgs='arguments'");
           
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);

I hope that will help you automate the test scenario and login with different users. Please do not hesitate to contact us again, if you need assistance. I would also like to hear your feedback on this feature and any other suggestions for our WPF testing.
