Test Execution Client

I have the same exact problem:


And this is just with the sample NUnit SampleWebAiiTest.
This error is thrown when calling Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

The tests executes as expected with Firefox and Chrome. 
I also noticed that the WebUI Test Execution Client extension was clearly installed on Firefox,
but that extension is missing in my IE 8

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling WebAii framework,
I've configured IE 8 as outlined here, and uninstalled/reinstalled once more, and still getting the same error.

Is there anyway I can install this WebAii Test Execution client for IE, because I've even noticed that when browsing the installation folders (C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\WebAii Testing Framework 2010.3\Browser Extensions) I noticed that there were sub folders for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari...but no IE!

Hi Qwizdom and Jeff,

Are you both using our latest Q3 release? We changed the way we connect and control IE in that release. There isn't an execution client to install any longer... you won't see it appear in the Add-ons list now.

What OS are you using? If it's a server edition, you also need to follow these instructions. Are you both trying to use IE8? Do you have any old ArtOfTest products still installed? There may be a conflict with multiple versions installed at the same time.

I JUST solved the issue.

To answer your question, yes I am using the latest Q3 release on a Windows 7 64bit edition.

SOLUTION:

When I created a class library for my NUnit tests, I had it set to target "Any CPU"
I simply changed it to target x86 and everything is golden.

I hope this helps you too Jeff!

Hello Qwizdom,

Thank you for the update! Now it makes sense. With it compiled for "Any CPU" it was probably trying to launch the 64 bit version of IE which we admit we're not compatible with. Excellent discovery!

Running Internet Explorer from Windows 7 64 bit using WebAii test case written using NUnit framework.

Well guys, I found one more solution.

You can build your solution with AnyCPU or Mixed platform. But what you should do is not to launch standard NUnit program from shortcut but use nunit-x86.exe (or nunit-console-x86.exe if you wish to run from Command prompt) located often at C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.5.9\bin\net-2.0 to luanch NUnit. And now try to run your test and it will launch Internet Explorer.

Atleast its working on my machine which is Windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit Internet Explorer.

Do try it and let us know.

Best Regards !
