Spy does not always see Chrome browser's Dom WebDocument
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:49 am
Setup:
Chrome version 17.0.963.83
Open Ranorex Spy
1. Close Chrome
2. Open Chrome
3. In Element Browser tab in Spy click the Refresh icon
4. Navigate to a web site by typing the url in the address box (e.g. bbc.co.uk)
5. Wait until the page has loaded and click Refresh in Spy
What happened:
Dom WebDocument for the page does not show in the tree in Spy; which also means clicking Track in Spy and pointing to an element on the web page will not find anything (nothing gets highlighted by Spy).
If it does not repro close Chrome and try again (repeat from step 1) until it repros.
Sometimes it also repros after step 3 (the home page Dom does not show in Spy).
I have done many tests on Windows on IE 9, Firefox 11 and Safari and these browsers never have this problem.
