Research direction
Start with SetPropertyFunction.cs and PowerAppFunctions.cs, following the failing SetPropertyDateAsync path into PlaywrightTestInfraFunctions.cs. Reproduce the issue with the attached testPlan.yaml and app archive, then compare behavior for controls inside and outside an EditForm. Done means Assert and SetProperty work for DataCardValue controls without the reported exception.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the bug
In case I try to use Assert() or SetProperty() functions on a control that is inside a Form, Test Engine throws an error: "System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
In Test Sudio, it works well.
If I make a copy of the control outside the form, Assert and SetProperty works well.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a canvas app and place an Edit Form control on it
- Set up a proper data source, add some datacards
- Configure your test plan, create a test case that tries Assert or SetProperty on any of the DataCardValue controls
Expected Behavior: Provided value is set or asserted
Actual Behavior: Engine throws an error and test execution fails
