Hi Nagappan, I installed LDTP 1.7.1 (below URL) on Ubuntu 8.10 . <a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anagappan/xUbuntu_8.10/">http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anagappan/xUbuntu_8.10/</a> I tried to run the below scripts on U8.10 after installation. I always found a exception after runing the smoke_ldtp() after the first round. Is the LDTP 1.7.1 tested intensively on U8.10? Thanks Scott ~$ python ldtp_smoke_with_gedit.py i is 0 GTK Accessibility Module initialized i is 1 GTK Accessibility Module initialized (gedit:16481): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_button_leave: assertion `GTK_IS_BUTTON (button)' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "ldtp_smoke_with_gedit.py", line 30, in <module> smoke_ldtp() File "ldtp_smoke_with_gedit.py", line 20, in smoke_ldtp settextvalue(WNAME, 'txt1', 'hello world') File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/ldtp.py", line 858, in settextvalue raise LdtpExecutionError (_responseStatus [1]) ldtplib.ldtplibutils.LdtpExecutionError: u'Window does not exist' # Below is the content for ldtp_smoke_with_gedit.py # This script will simply test the installation of LDTP and all # necessary components on a newly installed system. # 1) Close all all instances of gedit before calling this script # 2) This scripts works on Ubuntu 9.0.4. from ldtp import * # Sometimes, '*gedit*' does not works.
