TS crashes when using 'Highlight Element'

[Jakob]

Hi,

 

I've been using Test Studio for about a year now to record automated wpf tests for our in-house platform. Process was hampered by frequent crashes/freezes on my Win 7 station. Since upgrading to a new workstation with Win 8.1 TS recording has become more stable, but now I'm haunted by a new problem.

 I use the 'Highlight Element' function frequently, but when our application opens popup windows (for instance a floating window is opened to edit a case in the system), the risk of a crash increases dramatically. And if another window becomes active (Say a confirmation/leave note box to confirm the previous Edit), 'Highlight Element' will almost certainly crash.

A developer made a mock-up of our application that reproduces this behaviour, you can see a recording of it here:

Does anyone out there have similar experiences? Any solutions?

 

Many thanks in advance

Jakob

Hello Jakob,

I can see that you are using a sample wpf application for repro. Could you please provide it so we can reproduce this behavior on our end and investigate further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Ivaylo

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

 

Yes, one of the developers did a mock-up to simulate the behaviour of our platform. I'm more than happy to send it to you, but it's a bit large at 29 MB. Do you have a dropbox account or something similar where I could upload it?

 

Best regards

Jakob

Hello Jakob,

I've shared a dropbox folder for you where you can upload the application.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Ivaylo

Sorry for the late reply, due to vacation. I've uploaded the application to the Dropbox now. I hope this can help you replicate the issues we have. Please let me know if you have any questions to the app.

Thanks,

Jakob

Hello Jakob,

Thank you for providing me with the sample app. I was able to reproduce the behavior and logged a bug on your behalf which you can track and follow using this public URL.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
