So...I added Click() method, followed with ClickItem() and there is no error message but the script work inconsistently. The ClickItem() sometime get skipped.
aqUtils.Delay(10000, "Wait for View");
views_dropdown.Click();
aqUtils.Delay(10000, "Wait for View");
Log.Message(item);
views_dropdown.ClickItem(item); // work sometimes ,why???
views_dropdown.ClickItem(item); // this one works Then, I added ClickItem() again to make sure the action is taken. And I realized that I had to do the same thing on the other script with ClickItem() method a while back. Because the first line is skipped and the second line works.
Aliases.browser....ClickItem(year); // this line sometime get skipped , not sure why???? Aliases.browser....ClickItem(year);
Having 2 lines of ClickItem() seems to be a workaround for this issue. The other project also experiences this issue as well.
Instead of doing two ClickItems as a work around can you try something like:
views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Exists",true,10000);
views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Visible",true,10000);
views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Enabled",true,10000);
views_dropdown.ClickItem(item);
That many waits might be overkill, but should at least tell us if it's a timing issue like tristaanogre mentioned.
Thank you cunderw
I ran your code, the log message says "Unable to perform the action because the control is invisible." , no error before that.
I don't believe it is the time issue. the same object can do Click() but right after that cannot ClickItem(). I think it is something to do with the ClickItem(). I have found that i had to do ClickItem() twice to make sure the action really happens it the other 3 scripts. Also another project has the same issue with ClickItem() sometimes get skipped as well.
When I have 2 lines of ClickItem()s, if they both work, the ClickItem() happens twice. The log message shows 2 Event.
When one does not work, (usually the first line) it just get skipped and the second line does the ClickItem(), with no error message. The log message only shows 1 Event.
- I would open a support ticket with smartbear. If you are not seeing both events being logged it seems like something is amiss.
