Chrome pop-up not working

[Asare]

Using Telerik Test Studio standalone version 2012.1.7190.
I am running a Test list against all the major browsers. However, the tests are failing because of Chrome Version 22.0.1229.94 m

The actual problem is occurring when the test reaches a specific step, clicks on a link which creates a new tab instead of a pop-up window

This is an example of the link

HtmlAnchor:<a href="http://www.google.co.uk" target="_blank">

The code cannot be changed and because "_blank" is not guaranteed to be a new tab or window. It's implemented differently per-browser. I have implemented the workaround below;

My work around
            if(ActiveBrowser.BrowserType == BrowserType.Chrome)
            {
                ActiveBrowser.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.Chrome,false);
                Log.WriteLine("URL of link: " + Pages.PropertyServicesSearch1.LCInventoryLink.HRef);   
                ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(Pages.PropertyServicesSearch1.LCInventoryLink.HRef);
                ActiveBrowser.WaitForUrl(Pages.PropertyServicesSearch1.LCInventoryLink.HRef,false,30000);  
            }

Unfortunately, the newly launched browser gets stuck at for 30 seconds (30000) at  Preparing browser for automation...

Is there a better way?

Hello Asare,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. This looks to me more like your browser is not configured to run with Test Studio. For more information you can check this article. As of the 2012 R2 release, the Calibrate Browsers feature can configure your browsers automatically. You can upgrade to our R2 release following this link.
If your issue still persists after you make the corresponding changes we might need to reproduce this behavior locally in order to investigate further. For this we will need access to the application you are testing.

Looking forward to hear from you.

I had already tried the configuration steps. I then repeated them after your post.

Still no joy.

I will try the upgrade approach and let you know.

Hello Asare,

Please give it a try and let me know. If this is still not working for you please provide me with a link to the application you are testing so we can review and repro this behavior. Please make sure you open a separate ticket where all the communication remains private since we are now posting in public accessible forum.
