I've run into a problem where my tests can run x number of times in a row, with 0 changes in my code / silverlight application.  Sometimes the tests will pass, sometimes they will fail, and it's never a consistent failure, it's always something different each time.  I'm trying to debug why the tests sometime fails, and I can't really pinpoint a good way to debug it.  Can someone share some pointers on the best way to debug all these tests and why they are so flaky?

Thanks

Is webaii is still adaptable to silverlight version 4.

Hello, 
 
In the most recent build 2011.1.502 I seem to be getting this error on our Script Execution machines (Running the Visual Studio Test Agents) whenever a Dialog appears. This is causes the Agent process to stop. I've attached the TRX file that logged the Run.

The DialogMonitor is currently set  to (settings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;)

Error:
Exception: NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Is webaii testing framework suitable for Automating windows application ??

Does WebAii supports Image content testing? we can do image comparison but is there a way to get the contents of the image through webaii automation??

Thanks,
Naveen

Hello,

When I'm trying to run my firefox in invisible mode and I'm calling NavigateTo, I get a NullReferenceException:



If I choose ProcessWindowStyle.Normal everything works fine. Could you please advise, if and how it is possible to run Firefox in invisble mode?

Many Thanks
Thomas

In the latest version download dialog processing seems to be broken even in older browsers :(

Run this piece of code in IE8: 

Hello!

On one of my machines I got this exception when ran tests in Firefox.
I analyzed this method using Reflector and understood that you search FF installations in the registry.

For some reason under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\ I had two keys: 3.6.13 and 3.6.17.
I fixed the problem by manually deleting 3.6.13 key. 

I suggest you to add more sanity checks when analyzing keys!
