Browser hangs in evaluation version : General Questions

[chunkylover53]

Hi,
I'm using Ranorex Studio evaluation version 3.04 on Windows XP

When I start the script from the IDE it opens the browser (both IE and FF)and loads the page, then it hangs. The mouse becomes unresponsive. I'm not sure but I think the evaluation popup is getting in the way.
Here is my code. It never gets to the ATag statement.
Please help.

public static void  TestServiceLinks(string url)
{
	Utilities.KillAllBrowsers();
	Thread.Sleep(500);

	System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe",  url);

	WebDocument remHome = "/dom[@domain='na-qa3-rem.joe-blow.com']";
	remHome.WaitForDocumentLoaded();
	ATag  sLink = remHome.FindSingle("./a[@innertext='[Service Links]']");
	sLink.Click(new Location());

}

I'm not sure but I think the evaluation popup is getting in the way.

Automation will start only after you press the "Continue Evaluation" button on the evaluation dialog.

A quick guess: Try removing the call to WaitForDocumentedLoaded and instead specify a timeout for the FindSingle call in the next line.

Hi.
I tried your suggestion and it didn't work.
The first few lines of code get executed before I click the continue evaluation button.
Not sure what to do at this point. I've never seen it hang like it does when I start debugging.
Thanks

Hi,

Sorry but I don't understand your issue.

The first few lines of code get executed before I click the continue evaluation button.

Did you click the evaluation continue button?

I've never seen it hang like it does when I start debugging.

• Do you debug your code?
• Ranorex is stuck if you debug?
• Do you have a breakpoint inside your code?
• Ranorex needs a long time to react or is it hanging forever?

Hi,
Yes I click the continue button.
I solved the problem by switching from Windows XP to Windows 2008 and now I don't have the hanging problem.
Instead I get another problem. I'll put it in a separate post.
Thanks for the help.
