[Info-xnee] Re: xnee and synchronisation

[Serg Belokamen]

Hi,

Aim is to run (replay Xnee session) on an arbitry GUI based application 
runnning on a remote X server and compare returned results with correct 
once.

For example; we have some GUI  MySQL monitoring software (actual 
software is irrelevant) that we can enter SQL into and returned 
transaction statistics such as exec. times/server load/etc.

Assuming I have initial Xnee session with everything I need. Now, I want 
to be able to check for availablity of that MySQL app. So can Xnee 
access it or not... For example, if it was moved from previous directory 
or removed all together.

Also, to have the ability to check the returned data and compare that to 
first "correct" Xnee session and abort of the screens are different (for 
example different values in text fields or labels).

So that that, I have tried using ranges. Infact I attempted to use 
complete range, and few selected once... No luck. Also tried using 
thresholds but that didn't do much either.

Problem is not that I dont know what ranges to use (I dont, but...) but 
rather that I dont understand how to synchronise or how it works simply 
because all of the documentation is quiet outdated.

     Serg
