Team Telerik,
I am new to Web UI Testing and experience an odd error receiving the "about:blank" timeout error when attempting to test a simply test to open a site through a Google search request (based upon your example). Is there some setting that requires adjustment that you are aware of? Please advise. I looked through your posted forums and didn't see a solution.
Please disregard. Don't know why but I generated a new test and it was successful. Apparently, I stumbled upon the solution by closing all IE instances prior to running the test. It works fine. Now, looking to have acceptance verification performed against returned queried data opposed to the "contains" 'text' validation checks.

I get this same error while trying to run a simple test.
Even when there are no other IE instances running.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hello Nick,
If you can please check out these videos for configuring WebUI in XP, Vista, or servers 2003/2008, and make sure the Internet Explorer Protected Mode is disabled and that UAC is disabled in Vista. Let us know if this resolves the problem or not.
Kind regards,

I am having the same issue where I get an about:blank page when launching my test. The first step just opens google.com. I followed the steps to setup up IE and Firefox in Vista and the same issue occurs on both browsers.

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry to hear you are still running into the problem. I ran a quick check with the latest release on Vista and it seemed to work ok on this end.
Which versions of IE and Firefox are you running? Also, which version of Visual Studio (including Team System version if applicatble) and WebUI do you have?
And is this happening in both Quick Exectuion and Test Window View Exexcution? In Quick Execution, there should be a beige drop down bar that appears with the number of pass/fail steps. There should also be a log button on there that you can click, so if you can please post the error message in the window that pops up.
Also, if you can please let us know of any third party development tools you may have installed for Visual Studio, IE, and Firefox. Ane please let us know if you are running on an account with admin privileges and verifiy that UAC is disabled.
All the best,
Nelson Sin

Hi Nelson, thanks for the reply.
I'm using IE7 and Firefox 3.0.14, VSTS 2008, and a demo version of WebUI that I downloaded roughly two months ago. I'm not familiar with the "Test Window View Execution" so I'm just using the Quick Execution method. I don't have any other development tools installed (I'm QA) but I do use Microsoft's VSTS "PowerTools", the package with the Process Editor. I am an admin and UAC is disabled.
I have found that I can make this work until I make the test data driven. I'm doing that by selecting my test in the Test View and then selecting a DataConnectionString (a csv file with 2 columns and 5 rows). I set 'Data Enabled' to True, DataRange to 1:5, and DefaultToGrid to False.
If I remove the DataConnectionString then the test will open the right page but it hangs at the login prompt since that is where I intend the 'data drive' aspect to be used, so I'm not getting anywhere.
This is the log error:

Hello again Mike,
Thanks for the detailed report. As a way to hopefully get you test working in the meantime, if you can please try copying your data from the .csv file to the built in WebAii test data grid, have DefaultToGrid set to true, save and build your test, then try Quick Execution again.
I'll look to get a repro going on this end.
Regards,
Nelson

EDIT: I meant run in Test View Execution at the end, sorry about that.

Hello again Mike,
Just another quick question: What kind of control are you trying to data drive? Is it a Rad Control or an html control? I get the about:blank on an html text box, but the error I get is index out of range error with 1:5. Could you please remove the data range for now and try running you test again?

It's a Windows Authentication login box. Using the WebAii data grid it would act like it's entering the data into the boxes but no text would show. This, of course, resulted in 3 attempts and then the web application locked the user out as it is designed to.
EDIT: The test results say the "Handle 'Logon' dialog..." step passed, even though it isn't logging me in.

Hi Mike,
Ah, ok, I am seeing what you mean now. Thanks for the detailed postings, we are addressing this issue currently. I know this may not be ideal, but if you can please continue testing without data driving the login handler until a future release addresses this issue. Sorry about the inconvience.
Sincerely yours,
