Data-driven loop issue

Question

So I have an issue that I can't seem to figure out.

I have setup a keyword-driven test that runs through a website to create a new user. I have created a spreadsheet with generated data and setup the text field that I want to pull the variable data from. Then I created a Data-Driven loop that start from the beginning and creates the second user, etc.

The problem I have is that after it clicks the close browser button on the website, it doesn't know what to do next. I thought it would once again launch the run testedapp and proceed with the test. Instead it closes the internet explorer window, and doesn't ever open a new window.

This is the message I get: There is (are) 1 running instance(s) of "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE". New instances will not be launched.

I have the data driven loop as the first item in the test, is that not right?

1. Data-Driven loop

2. Run Testapp

3. To url...

4. ...

The problem is that most likely the iexplore process is not closed and out of memory when you go to start it up the next time through the loop.

One thing that I've noticed with IE 7 and later, sometimes even though you close the browser, iexplore remains memory resident. You can write a script to detect if iexplore is memory resident and, if so, close it.

If you search these forums, there's actually several instances where people have posted solutions for various problems where the browser is not closing in time.

I think I figured it out.&nbsp; Upon looking the other posts I got an idea..and it worked.&nbsp; In the operation parameters for run testedapp, I changed the ignorerunning from false to true.&nbsp; That seemed to do the trick!&nbsp;

Hi,It looks like Joshua has already posted the found solution:In the operation parameters for run testedapp, I changed the ignorerunning from false to true.So, as you can see, it was about modifying a single parameter in the Run TestedApp operation.
