Message on the ATF info bar appears above the client test runner header bar causing the test to fail - Known Error

Message on the ATF info bar appears above the client test runner header bar causing the test to fail Description Unable to consistently test the presence of floating message notifications on a browser page with the ATF.

The last step "Assert Text on Page (Custom UI)" validating for a message on the page "Program start date has been changed" is where the test fails. Sometimes the message pops up above the header on the client test runner, and sometimes the message is shown in the frame. When the message appears above the frame header where it says "Waiting for the test to run", ATF is unable to identify the message on the page.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Activate PPM Standard and PPM Standard ATF tests plugin 2. Navigate to tests and find the tests with the below mentioned sys_ids and names: a. Name: Validate program dates with adding existing demands and sys_id: eeb41c28c7b300103e0d0ba4c7c26046 b. Name: Validate program dates with adding new demands and sys_id: c8b98420c7b300103e0d0ba4c7c26081 3. Run the test 4. Client Test Runner opens and the test runs

Workaround After carefully considering the severity and frequency of the issue, and the cost and risk of attempting a fix, it has been decided to not address this issue in any current or future releases. We do not make this decision lightly, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Floating messages are not inherently supported, as the ATF is not able to guarantee the presence of them during a test. As a workaround, disable or delete steps that rely on them, and replace with a different kind of validation. Consider step types: Server > Record Validation or Server > Run Server Side Script to verify the presence of data generated by this message.
