'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...

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

It still fails with your code as well...

 

I tried changing the 'Method invoke timeout, ms:' from the default of 3000 up to 30000.

That was a good idea, I didnt know about that timeout setting, but unfortunately I has not corrected the issue..

 

I looked at the log for the steps this time rather than the report.

I noticed this:

 

"TestComplete (TestExecute) was stopped, because the specified timeout for the run elapsed.  The following error occurred: The execution time specified in the command line has expired."

 

Is it possible that because I am using a trial license of TestExecute ( I am working on a proof of concept), that there is a timeout passed via the command line??

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

    It's always the simplest of solutions that are the most difficult to find :manlol:.

    Glad it's solved anyhow.
