Unable to determine type of element

[Mariko]

Hi Telerik Team,

I've encountered this error today.

ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Exceptions.ExecutionException: Unable to determine the type of 'raddatepicker' element. Check the log for details. ---> System.ArgumentException: Unable to determine the type of 'raddatepicker' element. Check the log for details.

ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Exceptions.ExecutionException: Unable to determine the type of 'radrichtextbox' element. Check the log for details. ---> System.ArgumentException: Unable to determine the type of 'radrichtextbox' element. Check the log for details.

The test where this step belongs to is a Test as Step for my Main Test. So when I run my Sub Test it passes successfully but when its inside the Main Test it fails. It also happens to radrichtextbox. Also the Main Test passes successfully in the past.

The raddatepicker is a Extract step and the radrichtextbox is Entering a value. Also when I validate the element it is located.

Thanks

Hello Mariko,

I recreated your scenario and test/sub-test structure as best I could based on your description. I could not replicate the issue using this Telerik demo site.

Can you provide the test files (within a .zip file) necessary to see the error (ideally against a public site)?

Regards,

Hi Anthony,

The test is now working. I've recorded the failed test steps to the main test then executed it and passed. I've disabled the newly recorded steps then run again the whole main test and it passed successfully.

Thanks
