Test locally/Test suite locally constantly hangs

[fedevegili]

Hello, I've been using this amazing plugin for about 1 month now. I've realised that when my tests gets bigger, the plugin stops in random steps and I have to reopen it. The step is highlighted yellow but nothing happens.

When I say bigger, I mean around 200 steps per suite/test.

I'm testing it on a macbook air with the latest version of yosemite, but the problem happens on windows as well.

I've tried converting the suite to a single test and running it. Indeed the halts got much less frequently, but they still happened.

While running the test on remote server via nodejs the problem just doesn't happen.

If this problem happens only to me, I could provide you some of my test cases for you to test.

Is this a known problem or am I doing sth wrong?

Thank you!

It would be great if you will give a reproducible test case :)

Hey guys, sorry for the delay but I was very busy with a product release.

I made a very simple test (13 steps) and repeated it a lot of times in the same script. For me, it usually stops between step 100-200, but sometimes on 30th or 40 step.

Here's the link:

I think it's related to page reloads or frame switching. When I didn't have those in my test, the bug almost never happens. As my application has LOTS of popups and frames switching, this halting bug happens all the time.

Thank you in advance.

I may have found the problem after debugging around. File https://github.com/SeleniumBuilder/se-builder/blob/master/seleniumbuilder/chrome/content/html/js/builder/selenium2/playback.js line 212.

There's a clearTimeout for builder.selenium2.playback.waitInterval, but sometimes the builder.selenium2.playback.implicitWaitTimeout was left running. All I had to do was to clearInterval this timeout and everything worked fine.
