Double click problems (maybe too fast?)

Question

I'm testing an HTML 5 application and we have what amounts to a sticky note object that you double click on to open up a panel that allows you to enter a body of test.

The problem I'm having is that when I perform a double click on the object (.DblClick), the panel never comes up. The log reports no errors and when I watch it run it does appear to click on the object as expectd but the panel still doesn't come up. It almost seems like the double click is actually happening too fast!

Anyone have an idea on how to fix or work around this issue?

Did you try making the object active? Also take a look at the object you want to click on with the ObjectSpy tool. Take a look at the 'Methods' tab and confirm that this method is available for your 'problem' object.

This sounds like an issue I had and probably doesn't require the use of a delay.I think the first double click on your object is making the object active and then the second click is happening on the object but nothing happens because it is only treated as a single click (the first click made the element active).You can test if this is happening by repeating the test step twice. If the double click is successful the second time then this is the cause of your issue.To fix,&nbsp;make the element active first, Object.setActive. Then do the double click operation on the object in the following test step.

You could also try using the focus method on the element before doing the double click on it. Links to descriptions of both can be found below.focussetActive

If you think the double click needs to be performed a little slower, try using a delay inbetween each click (aqUtils.Delay(50)).Or instead of double clicking on the object, try running the double click method directly.

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting, I call .DblClick() on the object, how can insert a delay there? It's the .DblClick method itself that seems to go too fast and I have no idea how to slow it down.

Hi Jeremy,Try increasing Delay between events, Dragging delay and Mouse movement delay in Tools &gt; Current Project Properties &gt; Playback. Does it help?
