    My bad.. I'm not used to C#Script syntax...

    Should be as follows:

    function AddSomething() {

  var browser = Sys.Browser("*");
 
  if( browser["WaitPage"]("https://somepage.com/*",  0, 20000)["Exists"] == false)
  {
    Aliases["MyLink"]["Click"]();
  }

  var Mypage = browser.Page("https://someplace.com/*");
 
  Mypage .Wait();

  do stuff ....

}

You need to update your code to use WaitPage.  Think of it like this... how do you check the "Exists" property of an object that doesn't exist?  WaitPage returns either the page being waited for OR a stub object with the Exists property set to "false".

 

function AddSomething() {

  var browser = Sys.Browser("*");
 
  if( browser["Page"]["WaitPage"]("https://somepage.com/*", 20000)["Exists"] == false)
  {
    Aliases["MyLink"]["Click"]();
  }

  var Mypage = browser.Page("https://someplace.com/*");
 
  Mypage .Wait();

  do stuff ....

}

This results in the error "Object doesn't support this property or method" for the line 

if( browser["Page"]["WaitPage"]("https://somepage.com/*", 20000)["Exists"] == false)

      I had a feeling it was syntax but I could not figure it out myself. Thanks
