While Loop in Keyword Test/Script
Hello, I'm trying to implement a while loop in one of my tests that will hopefully execute the commands within the loop until the condition it's testing for is no longer met. However, ...

Hello Jono,
Instead of using a single line with a 10-minute timeout, you can organize a loop with a WaitProperty call in it. For example, you can call WaitProperty with a one-minute timeout, until the total waiting timeout is greater than 10 minutes. See the sample code below:
var alarmList = Aliases["Nano_UI"]["NanoFrame"]["MainPanel"]["ModulePanel"]["AlarmsTabs"]["AlarmsTabControl"]["Alarms_ActiveAlarmsTab"]["ActiveAlarmsPage"]["ActiveAlarmsSplitContainer"]["AlarmsListSplitterPanel"]["ActiveAlarmsList"];
var totalTimeToWait = 600000;
var result = false;
var endTime = GetTickCount() + totalTimeToWait;
while (GetTickCount() < endTime)
{
if( alarmList.wItemCount > 0)
{
//your code to process alarms
}
result = Aliases["Nano_UI"]["NanoFrame"]["MainPanel"]["ModulePanel"]["SystemTabs"]["SystemTabsControl"]["System_PJsTab"]["ProcessJobsPage"]["SYS_processJobsSplitContainer"]["SYS_PJsSplitterPanel1"]["ProcessJobListView"]["WaitProperty"]("wItemCount", 0, 60000);
if(result == true)
break;
}
In the sample, I used the Win32API.GetTickCount method to obtain the current number of milliseconds.
