Hi all, I got this strange issue on my test. First of all, i'm still trying to nail down the problem and looking for help to pinpoint the root cause so please bear with me. :)
I have a windows XP on a VM workstation setup where ruby, watir and browsers sit. in my series of tests, i use both firefox and ie. My test driver creates a telnet connection to this windowxp-VM and call the watir test script one by one. Each call is given a 60s time to finish its job and returns. If it does not return within 60s, another telnet session will kill the ruby taks followed by the firefox or ie tasks. This timeout has been happening frequently in this setup and it's happening in different tests. so i suspect it is not a problem with what is goes on inside the test. I also look at the wireshark capture and notice that this problem occured at the end of the page. Either after the browser receive the last resource, or after sending request for favicon.ico . So based on this i conclude that the watir script got hung on goto function call. I also notice that when the test driver tried to kill the browser, most of the time the firefox process is already gone. (maybe all the time) so i have the following questions: 1. can anyone verifies the behavior of page load in firefox and ie with respect to favicon. Will watir goto function returns before or after favicon? 2. if a browser(ie or ff) crashed, will browser.goto function returns with some sort of exception? note: since the call to watir is done through telnet, i don't get any gui to verify if ti crash or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
