[Solved] NavigateTo Times Out and Fails

[John]

Here is a simple coded step that always times out and fails:
        public void CheckStaffSite_CodedStep2()
        {
            // Navigate to : Data["RelativeURL"]  Note: The Base URL in the .testrunconfig
            // file must be set to a valid server.
            ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo((String) Data["RelativeURL"]);
        }

The error I receive is this:
Overall Result: Fail

My question is what time out is causing this to fail.  It sits spinning in the browser for about 30 seconds before this fails.  If I preload the page (i.e. go and hit the page manually, first) this works just fine.

Hi John,

Just a few quick questions:  Does the test run alright when not data driving  the test? Also, is this happening in the WebUI 1.1 version or WebUI 2.0 version?

And are you running  the test in Quick Execution Mode? The Base URL would only work in Visual Studio Test Execution.

Yes, this happens whether it is data driven or not.

The version is WebUI 1.1, and I'm running this individual test from Test View.

The test is running IE8.

On first contact with the site, when I hit it manually in IE8, it takes about 90 seconds for the page to first come up.  If I navigate to the site manually, and then run the test it, the test runs fine without that initial failure.

Hello again John,

Thanks for clearing that up. I was able to reproduce this problem when data binding browser Navigation (either as a normal navigation step or one converted to code) and try to use a relative URL.

I'll log a bug for this and as a work around, you may need to use the full URL when data binding a navigation step.

Kind regards,

I tried this in the coded step and it has the same problem:

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo((String)"http://10.40.20.196/app/admin/Home/Default.aspx");

Hello again John,

I'll try getting a repro going on this. Is the Base URL still set for you in the .testrunconfig when attempting to navigate?

A couple of interesting items.  We were literally upgrading to 2.0 today, so I did that and this problem still looks like it occurs in WebAii 2.0.

For the test with 2.0, I completely removed the BaseURL from the testrunconfig file.  I also deleted the data table entirely, to make sure the test wasn't looking at it.

Here's a stack trace from the run with WebAii 2.0, no BaseURL, no Data Table:

Hello again John,

So was the test still failing on the following line in WebUI 2.0?: 

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo((String)"http://10.40.20.196/app/admin/Home/Default.aspx");

I have a setup where I am navigating to a URL starting with an IP address and it works alright on this end. Can you attach your test project for us to checkout?

Is there a support ticket I should use?

[John]

Yes, it still fails on 2.0.

Is there a support ticket I should use?  ( I have a very simple solution that demonstrates this problem on my end. )  Not sure how to attach it here, though.

Hi again John,

Sorry about that, I just realized it was a forum post. Can you submit a support ticket with the project attached? I'll check it out and reply in the ticket if that's ok with you.
