How can I pause test for PopupWhatcher to finish?

[felixk91]

Hi Everyone,

I got PopupWhatcher starting for specific popup dialog and according to conditions, it should perform several steps. My PopupWhatcher using callback function to perform these steps. But the main test does not give enough time to finish thus steps.
Can someone help me and suggest the way I can pause or put on hold the main test flow until my PopupWhatcher is finished?

Thank you for help,
Felix.

P.S. I got Ranorex v9.3.1.

Hi,

I think your only hope here is PauseWhileExists method, which you can find in Ranorex Automation Helpers. Basically, it waits for the appearance of a dialog and pauses execution of test until it disappears. But it may not necessarily meet all your requirements? Therefore, you will most probably have to adapt or write your own "RequestPauseWhileExists" method?

Hi odklizec,

Thank you for the reply and your suggestion. It always appreciated.
Do you think I can add pause as part of my PopupWatcher?

Thanks,
Felix.

Hi,

I don't think so. Not without rewriting it with "PauseWhileExists" guts? I would suggest to contact directly Ranorex support regarding your issue. Since Ranorex folks wrote all PopupWatcher methods, they may help you with your problem.
