Recorded step fails when executed

[Kiran]

Hi,
I have a page that has a Date field and a Chart.
Depending on the date entered, the values in the Chart change.

My requirement is to verify how many variables exist on x-axis of the chart.

When the page loads, the default date is 12/31/2001 and the corresponding Chart for this date is generated.
If I record my test with the default date values, the verification step is a success.
Verification step is - "chartarea(ChAErrorTypesAreaGvchartarea): Chart series item label count 'Equal' '5'."  

If I record my test entering a different date (say, 03/31/2002), the verification step fails.
Below error is logged:
I have also attached the Images captured for the failed step.

Unable to find the specified element: Unable to find the element of type: textblock

Could you please help in resolving this problem? 

Thank you,

Hello Kiran,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this problem. In order to overcome this problem you'll need to change the find expression for this particular element. Please check this article on how to proceed.
If you are still experiencing any issues we will need to take a look at this from first hand if possible.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi,

I have added a 'wait for' step before the verification step.
It works now.

Thank you,
Kiran
