We are experiencing sporadic crashes of ArtofTest.Runner when we run a test. It seems to happen generally when we run a test after logon first thing in the morning (computer comes out of hibernate or has just started up) - but we have sometimes seen it happen suddenly in the middle of the day as well. If we run the test again after the crash, it is fine. It is not isolated to any particular test - it has happened with several different tests.
Here is the contents of the log file from the latest crash (which happened a few minutes ago - when I logged on after getting into the office).
Overall Result: FailSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.TestExecuteProxy.ShutDown() at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ITestExecuteProxy.ShutDown() at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteTest(Test testcase, Settings settings, String testBinaryFolder, String deploymentFolder, ExecutionType exeType, Guid lastStepGuid, DebuggerOptions debuggerOptions)------------------------------------------------------------'7/14/2011 9:46:05 AM' - Overall Result: Fail'7/14/2011 9:46:05 AM' - Duration: [0 min: 22 sec: 296 msec]------------------------------------------------------------
We are using WebUI Developer 2010R3 on XP SP3. Is this a known issue in that version - if so, is there a fix available? Please note that upgrading to R2011 is currently NOT an option for us (see support id 425811 for details).
Please advise.
Thanks,
