Wait for condition has timed out

[Kiran]

Hi

We are using ArtOfTest(WebAii) framework. All the testers were working fine and suddenly started failing from past few days with the following error.
Wait for condition has timed out
   at ArtOfTest.Common.WaitSync.CheckResult(WaitSync wait, String extraExceptionInfo)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.WaitForBrowserToConnect(Int32 browserIndexToWaitFor)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect, ProcessWindowStyle windowStyle, String arguments)
   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect, ProcessWindowStyle windowStyle)

The reason for this error was because of some settings which was globally made on all our machines without our knowledge.

Solution:

Allow third-party browser extensions setting in IE should be enabled.
This setting can be found For IE8 at : IE->Tools->Internet Options->Under 'Advanced Tab'->Under Heading 'Browsing'.

This setting can be added if found valid for everyone @ Configure the Browser

Thanks,
Kiran K N.

Hi Kiran,

Thank you for sharing with us about your discovery.

I was not able to reproduce your issue on several machines (Win 7 and Windows Server 2008). Could you please tell us something more about your environment (what OS do you use or some other specific restrictions you have). 

We appreciate your feedback, which we rely on to improve our product.

Hi Velin Koychev,

Did you try after UnChecking the check box corresponding to the IE setting "Allow third party browser extensions"?

We are using Win7 OS and NUnit to execute the tests.
I am not aware of any other restriction which would affect this.

Best Regards,
Kiran

Hello Kiran,

No problem, I will keep you posted if our QAs or developers confirm that this IE setting can cause issues.
