Where ever ATOMac runs, LDTP should work on it

Test scripts can be written in Python / Ruby / Java / C# / VB.NET / PowerShell / Clojure / Perl and it can be extended to other languages.

Download latest Cobra binary fromhttp://code.google.com/p/cobra-winldtp/downloads/list

On Windows XP SP3 make sure you have installed:.NET3.0 and .NET3.5 and KB971513http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13821 (KB971513)

.NET restributable package download info -http://www.pagestart.com/netframeworkdwnldlinks.html

On Windows 7: Default .NET with the system should work fine

• Python >= 2.5
• Java >= 1.5
• C# >= 3.5
• VB.NET
• Power Shell
• Ruby >= 1.8.x
• Perl
• Clojure

Compile SetEnvironmentVariable and CobraWinLdtp solutions, place the binary where you have all the dll's, README.txt, License.rtf, before running Wix installer commands. LDTP packages are created with WiX installer -http://wix.tramontana.co.hu

To create CobraWinLDTP package (Credit: David Connet @VMware):If planing to build package, copy WinLdtpdService.exe to the folder where rest of DLL's exist

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\candle.exe" -pedantic CobraWinLDTP.wxs"c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\light.exe" -pedantic -spdb -sadv -dcl:high -ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension -dWixUILicenseRtf=License.rtf -out CobraWinLDTP.msi CobraWinLDTP.wixobj

By default LDTP listens in localhost, to listen in all ports, set environment variable LDTP_LISTEN_ALL_INTERFACE and then run WinLdtpdService.exe as an user with administrator privillage in Windows 7, else you will get exception Access Denied. Other option is: Disable ACL in Control Panel->User Accounts->Change User Account Control settings Other option (Still you need to set LDTP_LISTEN_ALL_INTERFACE), you need to run as administrator:set LDTP_LISTEN_ALL_INTERFACE=1 # To listen on all interfaceRequired for Windows >= 7

CobraWinLDTP works based on Microsoft accessibility layer. To check whether your application is accessibility enabled, download the binary fromhttp://uiautomationverify.codeplex.com/ and verify the same.

Verified with Windows 8 developer edition. Minimum requirement .NET4.0To compile for Windows 8 environment (You can compile it from Windows 7, Visual studio 2010), but make sure you change target framework as .NET 4.0 for Windows 8 and .NET 3.5 for Windows XP/7NOTE: Don't select client profile

For Windows 7 the following steps are optional, but its required for Windows 8

netsh http add urlacl url=http://localhost:4118/ user=Usernetsh http add urlacl url=http://+:4118/ user=User

If you run CobraWinLDTP where you have logged in as a domain user

netsh http add urlacl url=http://localhost:4118/ user=DOMAIN\Usernetsh http add urlacl url=http://+:4118/ user=DOMAIN\User

1. Create directory CobraWinLDTP\ldtp\Java\lib\
2. Download and place in this directory next files:
