    As BenoitB , there could be an iexplore process running in your Windows environment that doesn't have a UI... this is a pain in my side with regards to iexplore.. even when you close the browser manually, sometimes that process remains memory resident.  So, your WaitBrowser process FOUND the browser... but couldn't call the "Close" command because there was no window to close.

    What I've taken to doing is, rather than attempting the "Close", I'd actually use "Terminate" to kill the process entirely.

Thanks Marsha for your reply,

The problem with that sharing is that my testing project will get polluted with Keyword Test files from the other project. So, it could look messy if I have a lot of Keyword Tests to share. So, is there a way to avoid sharing, and can still use the Keyword Test? I am thinking of converting all Keyword Tests to scripts. With scripts, I don't have to share it inside my testing project. Would you think whether it could be a good solution, best practice...?

    Turning them into scripts won't help.  You'll still need to teach the main project that the utility scripts exist, and that still means sharing.

     

    I think a clean way to do it would be to make a folder in the main project called Shared Tests or Utilities or something and put them all in that folder.
