How To Set Auto-Wait Time Out More Than 1,000,000ms

Hi all,   I have some test cases which required to set the auto-wait time out more than 1,000,000 ms and I found that 1,000,000 is the maximum time out can be set. Is there any possible method to ...

    The example code below will wait until Edge Tab is opened or until time limit is reached i.e. 17 minutes (1020000 seconds)

    function Wait()
{
    var timer = 0;
    var then = aqDateTime.Now();
    var now = then;
    
    while ((now - then) < 1020000 && !Sys.Browser("edge").WaitChild("Page(\"edge://newtab/\")", 1000).Exists)  {
        timer++;
        now = aqDateTime.Now();
    }
    
    Log.Message(`Waited ${timer} seconds`);
}

    It will not throw an error if it can't find the object (base on the Object Browser)

I suggest you get the UI Object to appear and then run this simple code (do change the parameters),

 

if (!Sys.Browser("edge").WaitChild("Page(\"edge://newtab/\")", 30000).Exists) {
	Log.Error("Unable to find object within the time limit.")
}

 

If it fails to find the UI Object within 30 seconds, then it might help changing these project settings,

In the web application that I test, we have certain controls that overlap each other, even though it doesn't look like it. I can verify this by looking at the HTML code, and I'll have to enable 'Ignore overlapping window'. 

 

All application that are developed, the UI controls may look the same, but the behaviour can be different.
