SwitchView for Activities i.e Task is not Working

[khushanki]

I tried to navigate to Task Views from Activities grid view. But not able to do so, I get error as view with "Task" doesn't exists and View with "My Tasks" doesn't exists. Please find my code below:-
xrmBrowser.Navigation.OpenSubArea("Sales", "Activities");
xrmBrowser.ThinkTime(2000);
xrmBrowser.Grid.SwitchView("Task");
xrmBrowser.Grid.SwitchView("My Tasks");

Hi,
I manage to click Task--> My Tasks view using below code:-
xrmBrowser.Driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("My Activities")).SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
xrmBrowser.Driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Task")).Click();
xrmBrowser.Driver.ClickndWait(By.LinkText("My Tasks"), new TimeSpan(0, 0, 4));

However let me know if any other method I can use like SwitchView .

Thanks for sharing @khushanki

I have added a feature request to the backlog to expand upon the SwitchView method and add capabilities for Activity entities.

Closing this as an item is on the backlog tracking this work. We'll update at a later time to confirm this work has been completed.

Thanks,
Tyler

Hi,

In order to this to work in the Activities window, you need to switch the view first. The activity page is construct in an iframe. The filter is in that iframe and you need to change the driver focus the iframe first then you can identify the elements.

Try below code:

            xrmBrowser.Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(xrmBrowser.Driver.FindElement(By.Id("contentIFrame0")));

            xrmBrowser.Driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("My Activities")).SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
            xrmBrowser.Driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("All Activities")).Click();
            xrmBrowser.Driver.ClickndWait(By.LinkText("All Activities Created in Current Year"), new TimeSpan(0, 0, 4));
