The combo box item is out of bounds error

Hi. I have a test that keeps failing on the dropdown menus. Firstly, it selects the wrong items from the dropdown and therefore the test fails.  I added a delay just in case and still no good. I am ...

    Hi everybody,

     

    In the end, I managed to find a solution. I select the Key method (instead of ClickItem) and write in the details the day, month and year. It worked! Unfortunately, I closed the window where I found this solution but it was in someone else's question.

     

    Thanks for your time.

Did you get this test by recording, and when you play it back it chooses a different entry than you did originally?

Hi Marsha,

Yes, I recorded, I selected a DoB (Day, Month and Year let's say 14 July 2012) and school year (Year 5) and when running the test it selected only the first items from the drop-down menu (1 January 2021 and Reception) and at the year it will stop running and prompting the errors. I did put a delay, but by doing this it still will not select the DoB I wanted but selects a few items below, like 4 of February and on the year the test will stop running, I think because it does not select anything.

    What I would do is use Object Spy on the drop down and look for an index being used on the object values, so you can have something like MyDropDownMonth(0) that gives you January as a result. You may have to drill down in some of the levels using the three dots button at the far right of the ObjectSpy value.

      Hi Marsha, I tried that and still does not work. I wish I could show it to you, probably is something simple. My colleague is having the same issue as me...

      I recorded a new test, more modular and the weird thing is that now passes the test!! BUT the information it submits is the wrong one! I used the Object Spy this time, so I cannot understand how now it passes the test although is selecting the wrong DoB?

        Let's see a screenshot of the drop down and the object spy for the dropdown please.
