    Hi,

     

    > CommonUtils.closeAllBrowsers2();

    .Close() command not always ends the process. Especially with browser process. Thus I would try approach with .Terminate() that is described in the help article for the Close() method. (I also mentioned it in my previous reply.)

     

    > TestEngineEvents_OnStartTestCase()

    Are all your tests marked as test cases? Maybe OnStartTest event is better?

     

    > The Firefox applications does have multiple sub-processes.

    This is a usual behavior of modern browsers.

     

    P.S.

    One more comment as for the code of closeAllBrowsers2() function:

    > browsers[i].Close();

    a) As it is documented, .Close() method does not return information of whether or not the process was actually closed. Thus, the next message (Log.Message("...Closed a browser.") ) is misleading as it confirms the action that possibly was not completed.

Look farther down in the original attachment and see below.  Its just the Browser Run method, providing it the URL.  Not using the Navigate method.

 

// Initialize the application URL
var strCEPUrl = Init.Get_ApplicationURLs("CEP");      // Just gets a url value.

// Browser object based on Project Variable setting.
var objBrowser = Init.GetBrowserObject();                 // See screenshot below.

// Launch Browser with url
objBrowser.Run(strCEPUrl);

> objBrowser.Run(strCEPUrl);

OK... This code does not return Page object.

Can you provide code that gets Page and waits for it?

    After the browser is launched with the url, the url leads to login page for the application.  Login page is stored in NameMapping.    Wait for login page to finish rendering and then attempt to login.

     

    // Launch Browser with url
    objBrowser.Run(strCEPUrl);

    Aliases.Browser.CEP_pageLogin.Wait();     // <-- I assume the default wait comes into play waiting for page obj to render?

     

    // Login
    var strUsername = aqString.ToLower(Project.Variables.CEPSmokeTestUser);

    CEP.CEP_Login(strUsername, "passwordxxxxx");

     

     

    Note:  Then if the page object doesn't render (the issue), then I assume the default wait comes into play again looking for the txtUsername textbox object.

      Hi,

       

      > Aliases.Browser.CEP_pageLogin.Wait();

      This is what I (partially) expected.

      How Browser and CEP_pageLogin objects are namemapped?

        The login page, uses the URL property with regular expression.
