The tester discovered crashed when loading the imsample keyboard after installing it.

Hmm, given this was discovered in testing, shouldn't we be testing the fix?

Happy to. As I said in this description " I built in and attached to the PR the tester was verifying. I am just now checking in this branch."
In other words the fixes were verified in the PR the tester was blocked on the imsample keyboard crashing, and not loading the IM window. They then tested the fixes in this branch as I built it and attached it to the PR.

However, it was a quick fix, it still has many improvements to be made to this sample. For example the IM window display does not fit the grid of characters well after the base character is selected. For example type a or click a the menu of characters to choose from doesn't always fit well.

User Testing

This is the keyboard to be tested. imsample.zip
If an IMTest keyboard is already installed you will need to uninstall it first, restart windows and then install the Imsample keyboard attached to this PR.

I have copied the tests from #5936 and made a few modifications.
The overall test we are aiming for is that in doing the tests below the keyboard does not cause a keyman or app crash.

SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_INLINE_MENU:

This keyboard uses the letters aeom to allow IMX input. This keyboard is a bit flakey being a demo and not polished.
It also takes some setting up the following registry keys need to be added and set once installed.
The location of the registry keys are at.
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Keyman\Keyman Engine\Active Keyboards\imsample
and are of type REG_DWORD
The keys are ShowIMWindow and ShowIMWindowAlways they both need to be set to 0.

In this mode IM window is not shown rather the app text is updated with a menu when either aeom is pressed.
For example when type he the text will become h[1ɛ 2ɜ 3ə 4e 5ɘ] then you type the number 3 the text displayed should now be hə

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT:

• Install Imsample keyboard attached to this PR.
• Select the keyboard its name is IMTest
• Type some keys that are not the special keys e.g. t r y
• • Type the space key then a then type 1 to get the 1st option
• Expected Result: try æ
• continue to the next test

• The screen should have f[1ɛ 2ɜ 3ə 4e 5ɘ]
• Now press Backspace. the whole option menu including the square brackets [ ] should be deleted.
• Expected result f

SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_IM_WINDOW:

This keyboard uses the letters aeom to allow IMX input. This time a IM window should display.

The first time you use the keyboard with an application the registry keys will be created and by default set to 1.

If the IM window is not appearing you will need to verify the value of two registry keys.
The location of the registry keys are at.
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Keyman\Keyman Engine\Active Keyboards\imsample
and are of type REG_DWORD
The keys are ShowIMWindow and ShowIMWindowAlways they both need to be set to 1.

Note for the IM window you need to use the mouse pointer to select the options, you can't type the number.

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW:

• Install Imsample keyboard attached to this PR (if not done already)
• Select the keyboard its name is IMTest
• Type some keys that are not the special keys e.g. t r y
• Type the space key then a then click the 1st option
• Expected Result: try æ
• continue to the next test

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW_CONT:
  ... contd from above

• Type 'm' and select the 3rd ### option
• Expected Result: try æ###

SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_INLINE_MENU

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT: PASSED The expected result is indeed try æ.
• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_CONT: PASSED The expected result is indeed try æ###.
• TEST_IMSAMPLE_BACKSPACE: PASSED The expected result is indeed f.

SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_IM_WINDOW

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW: FAILED Pressing 1 doesn't produce the expected output.

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW_CONT: FAILED Pressing 1 doesn't produce the expected output.

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW_CONT: FAILED Pressing 1 doesn't produce the expected output.

@MakaraSok
When you say "pressing 1" are you clicking it or typing the number 1 on the keyboard. Because for the IM window typing the numbers will not work you need to select the option in the IM window by clicking on it.

There was no instruction on how to select, hence pressing the number was used to select from the option list.

Retested and it shows that the IME doesn't seem to be active. Nothing pops up to select from.

@rc-swag Tried to test SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_IM_WINDOW part and here is my observations:
1.Installed Keyman 15.0.189-alpha-test-6187 and the Keyman Developer as it attached in the Test Artifacts link.
2. Downloaded and installed imsample keyboard.
3. I opened Reg Editor. I did not find REG_DWORD in the following location
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Keyman\Keyman Engine\Active Keyboards\imsample

So, I got stuck on the problem.

I have attached the Screenshot for reference.

However, I tried to follow the steps as it mentioned in the TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW. When I typed some keys like t r y, nothing will show in the Notepad application.

I need your help to test this issue. Or Did I missed out anything?

@bharanidharanj You are supposed to add the two keys to the location in RegEditor.

It also takes some setting up the following registry keys need to be added and set once installed.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Keyman\Keyman Engine\Active Keyboards\imsample
and are of type REG_DWORD

@rc-swag I've tried this a few times and it seems like the IM is inactive. Pressing any of these aeom won't bring up anything.

@MakaraSok Ross and I tried to add the two keys in the above mentioned location in RegEditor. After adding the two keys, we noticed that the IM is still inactive. Typing any letter on the the Notepad does not show up anything. Anyhow, Ross said that he will look in to this issue and will update it.

SUITE_IMSAMPLE_KEYBOARD_IM_WINDOW:

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW (FAILED): As per Ross's suggestion I have created two Keys ShowIMWindow and ShowIMWindowAlways set the values into 0. But still the the IM Sample Keyboard is not working.

• TEST_IMSAMPLE_INPUT_IMW_CONT (FAILED): As per Ross's suggestion I have created two Keys ShowIMWindow and ShowIMWindowAlways set the values into 0. But still the the IM Sample Keyboard is not working.

@bharanidharanj and @MakaraSok
I have made some changes to this keyboard so it creates the registry setting the first time the keyboard is used.
You will need to uninstall the old IMTest Keyboard. Restart Windows. Then install the keyboard attached to this PR in the Test Instructions. Test specification and instructions
