Wait loop until no error

I'm trying to do the following to determine when a process has completed:   while (equals(i,false)) {  i = true; try {      ListViewObject.ClickItem(0,"COMPLETE"); } catch (err) { i = false...

I attempted the following:

 

try {

if (equal(ListViewObjectParent.WaitChild(ListViewObject.ClickItem(0,"COMPLETE"),500)),false)

{

     throw err

}

 

}

catch (err)

{

     i = false

}

 

however, the script errors saying it can not find list view subitem "COMPLETE" and does not enter the catch.  Furthermore, instead of passing over the errors due to the try, it now fully stops script execution.  How do it enter the catch statement on failure?

Change your code to:

 

try {
var childObject = ListViewObjectParent.WaitChild('ListViewObjectName', 10000)
if (!childObject.Exists) {
throw err
}
childObject.ClickItem(0, "COMPLETE); 
}
catch (err)
{
     i = false
}

You need to detect the existance of the child object first before you attempt to click on it.  Replace 'ListViewObjectName' with the string in the "Name" property of the object.
