TestStack.White v0.11 Released!

I have just pushed the button for TestStack.White v0.11.

The main focus between v0.10 and v0.11 is converting the old test suite into a new test suite which is easier to maintain and can reliably run on the build server.

The previous test suite was often red, which meant that it was hard to know if there were regressions as other issues were fixed.

You can see the CI status at http://teamcity.ginnivan.net/project.html?projectId=TestStack_White

TestStack.White.ScreenObjects

Also released is https://www.nuget.org/packages/TestStack.White.ScreenObjects

This is the old White.Repository project, finally released on NuGet. Hopefully there should be some updates to this project coming up as well!

Namespace Change

Being part of TestStack now, we wanted to bring White’s namespace into line with the other TestStack projects.

White’s namespace has changed from White.Core to TestStack.White. Once you upgrade just run Fix-WhiteNamespaces from your NuGet console and we will fix all your namespace references for you!

Change Log

The change log is available at http://teststack.azurewebsites.net/White/ChangeLog.html

You may notice the website (which we will have a domain for very shortly), this is the new TestStack documentation site/wiki.

Please have a look around, post comments, contribute and give us feedback!

Pull Requests

Whenever you submit a pull request for White, we will automatically do a CI build, then a full UI Test run. This means if you do not want to wait for the test suite to run on your machine, you can just submit your pull request, then wait for the status to be reported back (which sometimes fails for some reason, but you should be able to see it on the build server).

Whats next

The next step for White is upgrading to v3 of the UIA Library, this will likely break a few things (which is why it was important to get the tests running properly).

Reporting Issues

If you find an issue in White, create an issue on github, and even better, create a failing UI tests. I do not mind pull requests with a failing test, I can fix the underlying issue without you getting involved in the inner workings of White.
