    Solution:

    The issue was caused by having Opera open in the Background. The "launcher.exe" that has crashed is launcher of Opera. For some reason having Opera open in the Background while this specific Test is running, there are some interferences. Just closing didn't really help me, so I just renamed the "launcher.exe" to something else. There might be some issues with Opera in the future for me, but as long as my test is running, I am happy.

    Hope this helped if somebody comes across this.

     

    Kind Regrads!

HI

Is there anything within the details in that log test step?

Thank you! I reviewed the .dmp file created on the error and it seems that the "launcher.exe" is the launcher of Opera (my tests where running in Chrome though) and somehow having Opera open in the background messed with my test. Renaming the launcher.exe solved this issue, though I might run into issues with using Opera in the Future. This doesn't really matter, because our tests are running on sperate machnienes, that don't have Opera installed.

Thanks for your help.
