verify if object exists without error

Hi,



Can you please clearify how to verify if an object exists without getting an 'unable to find the object' error? Below jscript code will not be able to verify a non existing panel:



TestedApps["iexplore"].Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "http://smartbear.com/";

TestedApps["iexplore"].Run();

var test1 = Sys.Browser("iexplore", 1).Exists; // => works

var test2 = Sys.Browser("iexplore", 1).Page("http://smartbear.com/").Panel(999).Exists; //=> Error: Unable to find the object Panel(999)



BR, David

    Hello David,



    Have you tried using the WaitPage method? This might work better than Exists?



    Something like this ...



    var test2 = Sys.Browser("iexplore", 1).WaitPage("http://smartbear.com/", 5000)

    Thanks for trying to help out Mike but my problem to verify if an arbitrary object exists or not, in this case the panel. 'Exists' seems not to work properly as seen in my example, I expect it to return 'false'. Any workaround or other info on this would be appreciated.



    BR, David
