    xrmApp.Navigation.OpenApp(UCIAppName.Sales);

    xrmApp.Navigation.OpenSubArea("Sales", "Contacts");

    xrmApp.CommandBar.ClickCommand("New");

    xrmApp.Entity.SetValue("firstname", TestSettings.GetRandomString(5, 10));
    xrmApp.Entity.SetValue("lastname", TestSettings.GetRandomString(5, 10));

Bug also occurs on Microsoft Edge Version 96.0.1054.29 (Official build) (64-bit).

Issue was with Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Api.UCI\DTO\AppElementReference.cs

Pulling latest version of repo resolve the issue for me.

Older versions of repo had { "Entity_Save" , "//button[contains(@data-id, 'form-save-btn')]"},

However latest repo version uses { "Entity_Save" , "//button[contains(@id, 'SavePrimary')]"},

@zekeinclusa, I see this code

        internal BrowserCommandResult<bool> Save(int thinkTime = Constants.DefaultThinkTime)
        {
            ThinkTime(thinkTime);

            return this.Execute(GetOptions($"Save"), driver =>
            {
                Actions action = new Actions(driver);
                action.KeyDown(Keys.Control).SendKeys("S").Perform();

                return true;
            });
        }

Anyway save button works well!

I am facing a similar issue @VikariiCGI please help me understand what needs to be added in code to resolve the issue. I have already added the required NuGet package.

[ejueldotnet]

@ritesh035 Pulling the latest version of the NuGet package should resolve.

What happened last time was the HTML code and tags built in to D365 changed, so when EasyRepro/Selenium tried to save it was looking for HTML tags that no longer exist (thereby requiring an update to the repo).

The newest version of EasyRepro is sending the keyboard keys Ctrl+S, which is a shortcut in D365 to save the document (so instead of relying on HTML tags staying constant, it is now relying on a keyboard shortcut staying constant).

@zekeinclusa I have got the latest version of NuGet package Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Api version 9.2.21084.148 and Powerapps.UIAutomation.Api 9.0.2. But still have the same issue. Can you please advice which version of the package it is fixed?

[at-sterling]

@zekeinclusa I also have the latest Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Api version 9.2.21084.148 NuGet package, but the issue still persists. It would be great if you could let me know your version and any other steps you took to resolve this issue! For the time being I wrote a manual save function that sends the keys Crtl+S, but aligning to the standard would be much more sustainable for long-term development.

[ejueldotnet]

@reachsuja Sorry, I'm currently maintaining my own branch to support the newest MS Edge browser (EasyRepro currently only supports the older non-Chromium based browser, weird since the newer one came out in early 2020). Guessing it's a webdriver issue since the save code in question is the same as mine and works on Edge webdriver 98.0.1108.43.

Like @at-sterling said, you could create your own manual save function that sends the Ctrl+S key (not sure why they changed it away from Ctrl+S), but then you're maintaining and trying to keep it up to date with the current EasyRepro (pulling in new changes every couple months is a pain when you don't want your manual changes overwritten).

If you do it yourself, you'll want to update the save function in WebClient.cs from

internal BrowserCommandResult<bool> Save(int thinkTime = Constants.DefaultThinkTime)
        {
            ThinkTime(thinkTime);

            return this.Execute(GetOptions($"Save"), driver =>
            {
                var save = driver.WaitUntilAvailable(By.XPath(AppElements.Xpath[AppReference.Entity.Save]),
                    "Save Buttton is not available");

                save?.Click();

                return true;
            });
        }

and change it to this (thanks @VikariiCGI):

internal BrowserCommandResult<bool> Save(int thinkTime = Constants.DefaultThinkTime)
        {
            ThinkTime(thinkTime);

            return this.Execute(GetOptions($"Save"), driver =>
            {
                Actions action = new Actions(driver);
                action.KeyDown(Keys.Control).SendKeys("S").Perform();

                return true;
            });
        }

Looking at the error "Save Buttton is not available" you're getting in the main EasyRepro WebClient.cs

AppReference.Entity.Save references the following code in AppElementReference.cs { "Entity_Save" , "//button[contains(@id, 'SavePrimary')]"},

If you're a front end programmer (or know a little HTML) you could debug and hit F12 on Chrome at the save screen and see why the save button isn't working.

I am having the latest nuget package but still got the error when I tried save using xrmApp.Entity.Save(); so I update the code in webclient.cs and updated the references. It fixed the save error but throwing another error "Saving in progress" .Please help me to fix this. Please find below is the issue screen shot. Thank you
