Unable to find objects.
I am using keyword tests. During some of my tests, I would get an error that says something along the lines of being unable to find the object. I can clearly see the objects; boxes, buttons, textboxes on my screen. The only thing that works so far would be to press F5 to refresh or click a link that leads back to the same page which is essentially is a refresh as well.
Another issue I ran into was when I post on a forum I am working on, the 'Home' key does not function properly. Pressing F5 before I do the homekey seems to fix this as well.
Does anyone know of an easier and/or more efficient way to solve these issues other than refreshing the page?
Thank you.
What we have run into is that even though a button or field may appear on the screen, the underlying object may not be loaded yet. There are a couple of things that help in this case.
We avoid a lot of this by using Focus or Set_Focus on every object before we do something with it.
You can also put a Delay right before the action that needs the object. Let it wait just a little longer for it to load. We don't use this unless we absolutely have to, but if the focus isn't always helping, then this will usually solve the problem.
