I keep getting timeouts while WebAII tries to connect to a Silverlight app.

Here's the code that's failing:

    
            [TestMethod] 
        
            public void NavViewJCCCaseloadIE() 
        
            { 
        
                Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer); 
        
                ActiveBrowser.ClearCache(BrowserCacheType.TempFilesCache); 
        
                ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("https://internalurl/"); 
        
                var slApp = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0]; 
        
                var menu = slApp.FindName<StackPanel>("LinksStackPanel"); 
        
                // rest of code deleted... 
        
            }

The code gets as far as the var slApp line, then eventually fails with the error: "System.TimeoutException: Timeout trying to connect to Silverlight App.."

In doing some debugging, the SilverlightApps()[] array does in fact contain one element, but for some reason it's timing out when trying to get that element.

Windows 2003 Server, IE 7 (have also tried in Firefox and it fails/times out in the same fashion).

Any ideas?

Hi Aaron,

If you can please check that the EnableSilverlight flag is set to true, as you would be able to see the Silverlight app in the SilverlightAppsList without the flag set, but would timeout connecting to it otherwise.

If you are using the built in unit test templates, you can set the flag in the following way:

    
            //Initialize(false, this.TestContext.TestLogsDir, new TestContextWriteLine(this.TestContext.WriteLine));  
        
            // If you need to override any other settings coming from the   
        
            // config section you can comment the 'Initialize' line above and instead  
        
            // use the following:  
        
            // This will get a new Settings object. If a configuration  
        
            // section exists, then settings from that section will be  
        
            // loaded  
        
            Settings settings = GetSettings();   
        
            // Override the settings you want. For example:  
        
            settings.EnableSilverlight = true;  
        
            // Now call Initialize again with your updated settings object  
        
            Initialize(settings, new TestContextWriteLine(this.TestContext.WriteLine));

Also, https connections for Silverlight apps is currently not supported in Firefox and Safari, so all your https Silverlight testing would need to be in IE. Please let us know if this solves the problem or not

All the best,
