'The execution timeout has expired' within 1 second during a .WaitProperty("Exists",true,5000). How?

My script runs fine on my development PC, but when I schedule it using TestExecute on a different PC, it seems to fail randomly.   Most recently, it has failed within 1 second of the test item. Lo...

    Or maybe it could be something that is getting passed from QAComplete... hmmm...

     

     

    That seems to have been the issue....  I had the default timeout of 30 set in QAcomplete where I was calling the test..

Thanks Ryan,

 

As you can see from my code, my objects have a very long list of parents, and it would not be realistic to write code to traverse the entire tree, waiting for each parent to exist before looking at its children.

 

Surely there must be some builtin function to do this for me?

 

Thanks again for the quick response,

Cheers,

"my objects have a very long list of parents"

Indeed. That is why I gave you the link to: Waiting For Web Pages

At the very least you may want to check that the page exists, and that the toolbar on which the button resides exists.

If you want a very simple solution then add a delay.

If you want a more dynamic approach I would suggest searching for the object within a loop with either .Find or .FindChild methods.
