Hi Chethan, Iam not sure what you are actually trying to do. Are you trying to say that sometimes when your website is down, watir just waits for the page to load indefinitely, hence your testcase just gets stuck. I assume you want to create a timeout exception when this occurs.
You could modify the watir wait method to include a timeout. module Watir class IE def wait(no_sleep=false) @rexmlDomobject = nil @down_load_time = 0.0 a_moment = 0.2 # seconds @tcount = 150 if @tcount.nil? ## -- this is the calculated count ... numofsecs/a_moment (150 = 30 secs)ss start_load_time = Time.now acount=1 begin while @ie.busy && acount < @tcount# XXX need to add time out #puts "WAITING@@@@@@@@ #{acount}" acount += 1 sleep a_moment end raise "Timeout Exception : Timeout after #{acount * a_moment}secs" if acount == @tcount until @ie.readyState == READYSTATE_COMPLETE do sleep a_moment end sleep a_moment until @ie.document do sleep a_moment end documents_to_wait_for = [EMAIL PROTECTED] rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError # IE window must have been closed @down_load_time = Time.now - start_load_time sleep @pause_after_wait unless no_sleep return @down_load_time end while doc = documents_to_wait_for.shift begin until doc.readyState == "complete" do sleep a_moment end @url_list << doc.url unless @url_list.include? (doc.location.href) doc.frames.length.times do |n| begin documents_to_wait_for << doc.frames[n.to_s].document rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError end end rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError end end @down_load_time = Time.now - start_load_time run_error_checks sleep @pause_after_wait unless no_sleep @down_load_time end def setTimeOut(val=30) #mention the number of seconds @tcount = val/0.2 ## -- this 0.2 is supposed to be a_moment #puts "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" end end end end Try this and let me know if it helps.... -Tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
