Unable to simulate ClickItem in Firefox or Edge

When I record as script, it records as clickItem("ABC"), however when replaying that action Firefox is unable to click it. However Chrome has no issue. Has anyone ever had this issue?

  • Interesting... this almost sounds like a timing issue... I've seen things like this before even in IE where a component is basically "ready" to be clicked but, for whatever reason, the browser hasn't fully rendered the control in such a way that clicking on it actually works.

     

    Just as an experiment... if you add a hardcoded delay of 5000 ms before you attempt the click item, what happens?

      There is no error message. It just refuses to click it.
