Hi Chuck,

Here is a very simple example that fails every time under "run" but works under "walk" (i've included the log too):

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>TravelPoint-CreateItinerary</title>
</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1">
<thead>
<tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="3">TravelPoint-CreateItinerary</td></tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr>
	<td>open</td>
	<td>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/TravelPoint.woa/wa/Nav/default</td>
	<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>click</td>
	<td>//a[2]</td>
	<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>type</td>
	<td>document.forms[0].elements[0]</td>
	<td>test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>clickAndWait</td>
	<td>document.forms[0].elements[1]</td>
	<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>clickAndWait</td>
	<td>document.forms[0].elements[3]</td>
	<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>


* [info] Executing: |open | /cgi-bin/WebObjects/TravelPoint.woa/ wa/Nav/default | |

Hi All -

I have some selenium tests that work when I "walk" through them, but fail when i "run" through them.

Has anyone else seen this behavior ? Any known workarounds ?

Thanks, Simon

ps. i am using Selenium IDE with chuck's wolocators.js IDE extensions, not ERSelenium

The problem you are seeing is that when running the tests, it can go much faster that you can as a person and much faster than the IDE walkthrough. What this does is to expose concurrency bugs and lack of synchronization in your tests. Adding a waitFor... step in the tests or the occaisional sleep command will avoid these. If your app is slow, you might also get timeout errors. Use setTimeout to set a realistic amount of time to wait.


Post some real examples and I will show you how I would fix them.

Chuck
