OS X El Capitan(10.11): xmlrpclib fault while accessing the window list.

[vraj-lifesize]

Hi Team,

I have MAC system previously running 10.10 version and i have installed the ldtp on it. I was able to access all the UI elements of our application and working fine. Recently i have updated the MAC system to 10.11 (OS X El Capitan) version , after upgrade calling 'getwindowlist()' method throwing following error.

mac.ldtp.getwindowlist() Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 69, in call return self.send(self.name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1587, in request verbose=self.verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 191, in request raise e xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<class 'atomac._a11y.Error'>:Error retrieving attribute (AXError -25201)">

Can you please let me know how to resolve this. Thanks.

You can debug like this:

export LDTP_DEBUG=1 ldtpd

On another terminal run the above command and see what got printed on first terminal.

Hi Nagappan,

Thanks for the reply. In the MAC system(system under test) in ran the following commands in one of the terminal

export LDTP_DEBUG=1 ldtp (if i try to run 'ldtpd' says, -bash: ldtpd: command not found.)

and from the remote system(linux) i am calling the ldtp.getwindowlist() method, i am seeing the following trace back in the MAC terminal.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/atomac-1.1.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/atomac/ldtpd/utils.py", line 178, in _dispatch return getattr(self, method)(*args) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/atomac-1.1.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/atomac/ldtpd/core.py", line 110, in getwindowlist return self._get_windows(True).keys() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/atomac-1.1.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/atomac/ldtpd/utils.py", line 326, in _get_windows if not app_windows and app.AXRole == "AXApplication": File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/atomac-1.1.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/atomac/AXClasses.py", line 681, in getattr attr = self._getAttribute(name) Error: Error retrieving attribute (AXError -25201)

Hi guys I have a similar issue while trying to run my script _atomactext.py on MAC. It was basically calling

import atomac.ldtp as ldtp print(ldtp.getobjectlist('myAppHead')) This is my stack trace: SIGUSR1 received. ldtpd ready for requests. 127.0.0.1 - - [25/Apr/2016 10:00:39] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [25/Apr/2016 10:00:39] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1" 200 - (...) 127.0.0.1 - - [25/Apr/2016 10:00:40] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1" 200 - Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/atomac/ldtpd/utils.py", line 178, in _dispatch return getattr(self, method)(*args) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/atomac/ldtpd/core.py", line 244, in getobjectlist window_handle, name, app=self._get_window_handle(window_name, True) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/atomac/ldtpd/utils.py", line 483, in _get_window_handle windows=self._get_windows() File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/atomac/ldtpd/utils.py", line 326, in _get_windows if not app_windows and app.AXRole == "AXApplication": File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/atomac/AXClasses.py", line 681, in getattr attr = self._getAttribute(name) Error: Error retrieving attribute (AXError -25201)

Would you help me out with that one please ?

Well the issues is caused by the new system integrity protection (SIP) introduced in El Capitan, while it's no perfect solution disabling it allows your old tests to run as they used too. While I am no expert on the security situation of OS X it feels like there should be a more legitimate work around as the Apple Script equivalents still function just the same proving it is possible even if you have to generate apple script then execute it. Likewise if the security is kicking in as you are trying to access a protected application it is viable that you could embed the UI test into the application in question (assuming you ofc have the source code) but that really seems like too much work for such a simple task. Again I am no expert so I am kinda just shooting in the dark and as we have a workaround available with disabling SIP I can't really justify any more of my companies development time on this issue. That's all I have, I will stay subscribed to this issue in case a more permanent work around is posted but until then good luck.

Hi all, I'm experiencing the same issue on 10.11. I've disabled SIP but no luck. Is there any workaround?
