Hi
In the application i have to test has a dialog popup right after
login if the user already as a session open. before the dialog is not expected every
time, the step will fail if the element is not found,
is there a way ignore the step? I already have it set to continue on fail, but
the report will report the failure,
I have tried to verify the element to control an IF else steps, but that fails
if the popup does not "pop"
Please point me in the right direction
Thank You
Chris

As for the Dialogs try this link:

Select the Generic
and Select the Handle Button, I think you said it was "OK".
I hope this helps,

Thank you for the reply,
I currently have it set to "Continue on Failure" which it will continue with the testing,the problem is the test is being set as fail or failed because of it.
the section on Dialogs appear to be for "Windows" dialogs not HTML dialog windows.
I can already "click" the ok button if the box pops up but the step will fail if the box is not popped.
I hope that clears my issue up a little more
Thank You again!

You are on the right track with the IF/ELSE logical statement; it just needs an adjustment.
The issue is with the Find Logic for the element used in the Verification attached to the IF statement. Currently it is this:
[tagname 'Exact' h3] AND [TextContent 'Exact' Login Conflict]
If there is no login conflict, then the TextContent won't match and that element will not be found. So, I recommend editing that Find Logic so the element is found for either scenario. Let's say, for example, that the two potential messages are "Login Conflict" and "Login Successful". You can change the Find Logic to this:
[tagname 'Exact' h3] AND [TextContent 'StartsWith' Login]
Ideally Test Studio uses IDs or other unique attributes to identify elements if they are available. I suspect TextContent was used in this case because that element does not have an ID.
Once the element can be reliably found, the Verification can successfully drive the IF/ELSE statement:
1. IF ( Verification = [h3 element] TextContent 'Contains' Login Conflict )
Handle dialog
2. ELSE
(can be empty)
3. (continue with normal test steps)

if the box is not popped, the LoginConflictH3Tag will not exist so will it still work as you are suggesting?
some how i need to watch for the html windows (dialog) pop or not and go from there.
I figured if the IF statedment did not fine the element it would take that as a false and move on, but its not acting that way
Thank You

No, it won't. My suggestions were based on the assumption that the LoginConflitH3Tag element exists in either scenario, and only its TextContent changes based on the login status.
The Verification attached to the IF statement must be based on an element that can be found in both scenarios. Hopefully there is another element on the page that meets this criteria.
I put in a Feature Request recently for another customer who had the same concern as you regarding logical statements. Specifically, they requested the ELSE portion execute unconditionally if the IF's Verification is not performed (like when its element cannot be found). Unfortunately there has not been an update on it yet.
