Browser shuts down during execution

[Helen]

Hi

Time to time, during the execution of some tests IE browser shuts down unexpectedly in the middle of execution.
I get the message in the bottom of the WebUI Test Studio window saying: "Cannot identify the browser to attach the recorder to. Please check the log for execution error details".
I checked the log folder - it's empty.
I wonder if it's a known issue and if there are any workarounds for this.

Thanks in advance
Helen

Hi Helen,

I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing these intermittent issues. Just to let you know, this is not a known issue, but we are still going to do what we can to reproduce what you are experiencing here.

That being said, I need to ask you a couple of things:

1. What browser version are you using?
2. What OS version (and service pack) are you using?
3. Would you be able to "zip" one of your projects for us and attach it in your reply (in case you are unsure, the projects are saved in "C:\<user_folder>\My Documents\WebUI Test Studio Projects", with a different folder for each saved project)?
4. Have you been experiencing any other machine instability with your current setup?
5. What types of steps are you doing usually when you see this occur (importing data, field usage, etc.)

Any data you can give us on this will help us to reproduce the issue so we can assist with figuring out what is going on with your setup to cause IE instability. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Keaegan

Hi Keaegan

I'll be happy to provide any information you may require in order to resolve this issue

1. I am using Internet Explorer 7
2. OS version - Windows XP Professional, SP3
3. I attached the archive. Just in case - your support team already has an access to our application environment - you may try and run it.
4. No other issues with the machine/applications have been observed
5. The issue occurs randomly during different kinds of action.

Thanks for looking into this.

Best wishes,
Helen

Hi Helen,

I have been testing your provided test project, and we have found that, while we can access the ciee.org page when not running your test, the .dbsrc files are causing some form of issue (either too much latency, or we don't have full access to the SQL).  I have also had others here test the test project provided and they ran into the same issue.

We took a look at your T-SQL strings as well, and we would like to ask that you check them. They appear truncated but we're not sure since we don't know what they're supposed to look like. After you double-check them, re-attach the project if there were any changes so we can take another look at your project.


Kind regards,

Hi Keaegan

I designed the tests and T-SQL queries so that they actually never access the database.
What you'll need to do to get them working is edit the datasource named Data(from WebUI interface) to address any database you have the access for sure(for example sample database on any of your SQL servers). It only needs a valid connection string.
All data-binds are stand alone and never reference the database.

Please let me know if it makes any sense.

Best wishes
Helen

Hello Helen,

Thank you for the previous update. We have setup the test to instead target a local SQL server. However, upon doing so it looks like we are not logging into the website (I do not see any steps in a test that login the user), is the login for the site handled through your SQL server as well (ie, when you go to the first page in the tests in your project, does it take you to the login page or the home page, we see the login page).

Would you be able to provide login credentials to test this issue (preferably for the site itself so we can simply create a new test within your provided project that "logs in" the user as a separate test)? 

All the best,
