StackOverflowException on Manager.LaunchNewBrowser

[Sydney]

I installed the Telerik WebAii test framework about a year ago and all worked fine.  Recently, I had a hard-drive failure, so in rebuilding my machine, I installed the latest version.  Now none of my tests run.  I either get a hang or a StackOverflowException when I hit Manager.LaunchNewBrowser, no matter which browser I choose.  Just in case there was some breaking change, I created a new unit test using the telerik NUnit template.  It has the same problem.  

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks.

Hello Sydney,

I'm sorry to here about your problem, but to be able to assist you diagnose this problem I need the following additional pieces of information.

1. A copy of problematic test to see if we can reproduce the problem locally.
2. The version of the .Net Framework you are working with.
3. Install the latest versions of the browsers you are using, and configure them. See haw to do that in our online documentation here. 
4. Are you seeing the same exception if you create a new test, or everything is running ok?

Best wishes,

Thanks for the response.  

1.  The sample test generated by the Telerik template fails (pasted below).  
2.  I am using.NET Framework v 4.0
3.  I've configured both IE and Firefox according to the instructions
4.  See #1.  The exception comes well before any actual test steps are performed - it's on Manager.LaunchBrowser.

Here's the sample test:

[Test]

public void SampleWebAiiTest()

{

    // Launch a browser instance

    Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.FireFox);

 

    // The active browser

    ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com");

 

    // Find the google search box and set it to "Telerik";

    Find.ByName<HtmlInputText>("q").Text = "Telerik";

 

    // Click the Search button

    Find.ByName<HtmlInputSubmit>("btnG").Click();

 

    // Validate the search contain the 'Telerik' text

    Assert.IsTrue(ActiveBrowser.ContainsText("Telerik"));

}


In running it just now, the test seemed to hang and then I got a windows notice that Task Runner failed, at which point the unit test stopped with a status of Aborted.  However, running subsequently, it just keeps running but no browser is launched, so that may have been coincidental.

Hello Sydney,

I have tried many different ways to reproduce your problem locally on my machine, but everything is working perfectly. My concerning is that maybe there is different kind of problem with your PC resulted from your hard drive failure. Please install the Testing Framework on virtual machine or other machine and try if everything works that way. Just be sure that the other machine meet the system requirements described here.
