How to log the results if Waitaliaschild method returns object does not have a child

We are having a separate function to log the results in a different location in mht file format. Converted all our project to use name mapping.   Some times it fails at w-=aliases.legaclt.wndLS...

    This will throw an exception, so unless you have logs being exported in the GeneralEvents_OnStopTest event handler it will never get called.

     

    You could try to catch the exception as well so the test engine isn't stopped.

     

    IMO though this should never be a case you run into while running tests. All tests and scripts should be reviewed by someone before being put in a regression or formally running test suite.

WaitAliasChild requires that the parent object (in your example, page32770) has a child object in the Alias tree named Button1.  This is a NameMapping configuration item... WaitAliasChild will not just wait for any child object, it needs to SPECIFICALLY be a NamedMapped object with the indicated name.  This is a coding problem with someone not understanding the nature of the method being used.
