Problem with newest Autoit 3.3.8.1 - COM / SAP

[Chromwell]

With older Autoit Versions my script was working fine and i don´t know how i should change my script to work again...

Basically my problem section does nothing more then selecting some menus in SAP then pressing 2 buttons in following popup-windows and the 3rd popup is a file save dialog...

My script always stops executing after the 2nd button press (it is pressed, but it won´t get any further....)

Connection to SAP is initiated with _SAPSessAttach("") from the SAP UDF but the commands are sent directly via the COM interface to SAP.

_SAPSessAttach("")
ConsoleWrite("Setze $AnalyseBlatt ..." & @CRLF)
$AnalyseBlatt = @ScriptDir & "\test.xls"
ConsoleWrite("Lösche $AnalyseBlatt ..." & @CRLF)
If FileExists($AnalyseBlatt) Then
  FileDelete($AnalyseBlatt)
EndIf
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[2]/shell" ).expandNode("1000")
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[2]/shell" ).selectItem("4000", "COL01")
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[2]/shell" ).ensureVisibleHorizontalItem("4000", "COL01")
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[2]/shell" ).topNode = ("0001")
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[2]/shell" ).doubleClickItem("4000", "COL01")
ConsoleWrite("Btn0 Press..." & @CRLF)
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
ConsoleWrite("Btn5 Press..." & @CRLF)
$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[5]").press
;--------- SCRIPT STOPS HERE, without any error, it just hangs....
ConsoleWrite("Warte auf Speichern unter Dialog..." & @CRLF)
WinWait("Speichern unter")
ConsoleWrite("Setze Edit auf Analyseblatt..." & @CRLF)
ControlSetText("Speichern unter", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", $AnalyseBlatt)
Sleep(2000)
ControlClick("Speichern unter", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")

The script breaking changes section here describes that methods require paranthesis.

So maybe you have to change

$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press

to

$SAP_Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press()

[Chromwell]

Even with this change the script halts after the btn5 press without any error ... when i cancel the file dialog that appears after the script pressed the button, the script goes on.

The same script runs smooth with autoit-v3.3.6.1.

[water]

As you are working with objects to need to implement a COM error handler. Please check function ObjEvent. There you'll find an example.

After btn5 is pressed I would at least check the error code returned in @error and @extended.

[Chromwell]

There´s no COM error, that´s the problem... the script just hangs after btn5 is pressed without an error...

I can´t even exit the script from the task-tray when it hangs after btn5 press ... it exits when i cancel the dialog in SAP that comes after it pressed the btn5...

I inserted some more error checking an simplified the COM error handler. Could you please give it a try?

Looks like a bug. Problem is that the Devs need a skript to reproduce the problem. Unfortunately not every of them has SAP available.

[Chromwell]

Ok, thanks for your effort water!

Perhaps i can reproduce it in an other application and i can submit a bug report or so...

[water]

I checked Trac #2056 and maybe there was a similar problem with Excel.

I don't know when the first Beata will be released but a the moment I would stick with 3.3.6.1 in your case.

[StSchnell]

Hello water,

Chromwell is right, it seems to be a problem with the new AutoIt version. Check with the following program

;-Begin-----------------------------------------------------------------
  $oDia = ObjCreate("COMDialog")
  If IsObj($oDia) Then
 
    $Result = 0
   
    While $Result <> 1
 
      $Result = $oDia.WindowEvent()
   
      Select
        Case $Result = 1
          MsgBox(0, "Dialog", "Ende")
        Case $Result = 2
          MsgBox(0, "Dialog", "Test1 Button betätigt")
        Case $Result = 3
          MsgBox(0, "Dialog", "Test2 Button betätigt")
      EndSelect
     
    Wend
  EndIf
;-End-------------------------------------------------------------------

with this ActiveX DLL http://www.stschnell.de/temp/COMDialog.zip, it is one of my test libraries. It shows only a dialog with two buttons and the event loop of the AutoIt program catches the message. It works perfect with 3.3.6.1 but it crashes with the actual version.

Cheers

Hello community,

the error is still present at the actual version of AutoIt 3.3.10.2. I check it in a 64-bit Windows 7 environment and it chrashes. The version 3.3.6.1 works without any failures.

Cheers

Stefan
