    First of all, the Kudo is for the error message. :)

     

    Second of all, your code isn't matching the error you posted.  There's nothing in that bit of code that mentions an IEFrame class window so double check where the error is coming up.  All it's doing is running a particular URL in IE, no mention of interacting with an IEFrame window.

     

    Thirdly, the "Additional information" panel in the test log may contain some good info on what's going on.  Could you share what you have in there?

     

    My additional suspicion is this (as I'm running into something funky myself) in that, when you close the browser using the "Close" command, sometimes an instance of IE remains memory resident for which the call to "Close" doesn't actually work.  So, in my test cases, after a test case completes, I call the "close" command... and then, before I proceed to the NEXT test case, I call the following code:

     

                browser = Sys.WaitProcess('iexplore', 1000);
            while((browser.Exists)){
                browser.Terminate();
                browser = Sys.WaitProcess('iexplore', 1000);
            }

    This will actually terminate the specific process since there isn't an actual Window to close any more.  See if this helps.

Hi,

 

I'm using the below function more-then year for closing the browser in our framework. This maybe useful for you too close the browser[not just IE you can input your browser process name or any process] and get the return value. 

 

To run this function : i.e  fn_closeProcess("iexplore")

 

function fn_closeProcess(str_ProcessName)
{
      var arr_Processes = null;
      
      if(str_ProcessName != "")
      {
            arr_Processes = Sys.FindAllChildren("ProcessName",str_ProcessName);
            
            if(arr_Processes != null)
            {
                  for(var b = 0 ; b < arr_Processes.length ; b++)
                  {
                        arr_Processes[b].Close();
                  } 
            }
            
            //if any missed process will finish off here
            var b_Object = Sys.WaitProcess(str_ProcessName, 1000);
            
            while(b_Object.Exists)
            {
                b_Object.Terminate();
                Log.Message("We have tried mutliple times to close the process [" + str_ProcessName + "] hence terminating the process.");
            } 
            
            var chkObj = Sys.FindChild("ProcessName",str_ProcessName);
            
            if(!chkObj.Exists)
            {
                  return true;     
            } 
            else
            {
                  Log.Message("We have tried terminating the process [" + str_ProcessName + "] but no luck. Need to have a LOOK!");
                  return false;
            } 
      }  
      return false;
}
