Webdoc identification problem : Automation API

[anzacthecat]

I have a webdocument, which I'm using to navigate to a url:

webdoc.navigate(url);

this works fine but on the next line I then try to close the browser:

webdoc.close();

and it fails with the error: Action 'close' failed on element '{WebDocument:IE}'. Invoke timed out.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

What am I doing wrong?

Did you check if the property "UseCache" is enabled on your DOM Object inside your repository?
Just click on your WebDocument in your repository and open the Properties Pad. Now you should see a setting named "UseCache". Set this to true if it is set to false and try it again.
Did you try to search the new webdoc in code and then close the new one? Does the close procedure work if you don't navigate to another page?
