Hi There, We have a couple of watir scripts that are run as regression suite on a CI server (cruise control). Have installed Ruby 1.8.6.26 and watir 1.6 with IE7. System specification ; windows server 2003 edition, 500gb, 4gb RAM
All the scripts are made independent and hence we have a start_browser and browser.close at setup and teardown. After a while, i find that ie keeps hanging and am not able to proceed unless i close the browser manually and yet i see that the ie process is not being killed. This leads us to lot of RPC server unavailable errors: When the suite is run again, i get a lot of these errors: failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80004005 Unspecified error (WIN32OLERuntimeError) c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `initialize' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `new' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `create_browser_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:91:in `_new_window_init' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:81:in `new_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:105:in `start_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:99:in `start' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/watir/browser.rb:71:in `start' Have tried one of the 3 solutions that Bret has mentioned i.e, Create an additional IE. As long as this lives, the IE server will continue to live and you can close and create IE windows without worry. Inspite of having done this, i get the errors. We cannot completely avoid opening and closing of browsers as more and more scripts are added to the regression suite. What could be the reason for ie to hang and how can that be avoided?
