User.Click not working

[Jonathan]

I have a test which clicks a RadRibbonButton on a RadRibbonView:

var button = app.Find.ByAutomationId("MyButton");
//Thread.Sleep(3000);
button.User.Click();

It only works if I uncomment the Thread.Sleep and that only works if its more than 2000.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jonathan,

What the symptom sounds like is that the button is not ready to be clicked for some reason (we can't see your app so we have no clue why). Is the button disabled and then enabled when something happens? That's what it sounds like to me is that the test script is outrunning your application. Can you record a video of the script running with the delay so that it works? Maybe there's something else in the UI that is changing that we can watch for to see when the button is clickable. If it's changing from Disabled to Enabled we can wait for it to be enabled before clicking on it. Or maybe there some window overlaying the button preventing us from clicking on it? Jing is a pretty good and free screen recorder.

Best wishes,
