    Ideally, all development should be done on your local machine. You can then deploy to another machine, to test that it works.

     

    If you had a very slow connection and you were to remote desktop to another machine. You will be able to see the remote desktop updating, as it constantly redraws images (streams) of the whole window. Hence, the reason automation tools can't actually see any of the UI objects.

Thank you for your reply. Please find attached some of the failure records. I hope this is what you need. 2 zips contain image and log only. The last one (Failure4) contains all files in the test execution record. Please let me know if something else is required - Thank you so much! - Astrid

Thanks for trying with all these images but Just a screenshot or two of the test where it's failing and the matching log is fine - you can just post those here and make it easy for us to look.

    I do not know which images to post other than the one which I think comes immediately before the failure. I do not see a ".log" file and .js files are not supported (_TestLog.js). Am I looking in the wrong place for the log file? Attached is the image where the replay enters both text strings in the same field. I have zipped up what I think the "log" file is because I am able to upload the zip file.

      This is an example of the log I am looking for. If you click through on the "text not found" error, then it will take you to the code that is getting the error, and I would like a screenshot of that too.  I am reluctant to download and open a zip from an unknown source, but your single screenshots will work in these posts.
