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>
Ever so much more readable with an id attribute on that link... :-)
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>document.forms[0].elements[0]</td>
Ever so much more readable with an id attribute on that text
input... :-)
<td>test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>document.forms[0].elements[1]</td>
Ever so much more readable with an id attribute on that um whatever
it is... :-)
What is happening when this gets clicked? Are you using Ajax?
<td></td>
</tr>
Is this a new page? Did the page get refreshed?
Try adding
<tr>
<td>pause</td>
<td>5000</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>clickAndWait</td>
<td>document.forms[0].elements[3]</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>

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
