Browser closes automatically, when launched from caius

[Sushant Mamgain]

Hi,

I am seeking to use Caius project for my web automation. Just playing around it.

I observed that, browser closes automatically after some timeout, when launched from TCL code.

How to proceed, if i want communication to run constantly as a daemon. And close via a handle whenever needed.

Why my browser opens with "data;" in the address bar.

Gui operations seems very limited, like click, sendKeys...but what about operations on object like checkbox, radio button (will do via click i guess but other as combo box). Could expect any development on that font.

Thanks

Hi Sushant,

there is no timeout in the framework. But when there is no activity, selenium server will eventually timeout the session. I don't know what the default timeout is, but it should be quite long.

Not sure what you are trying to do. But probably figuring out how to make selenium server not timeout inactive sessions will help your problem.

I don't know. If you post an example of how you invoke the session and a bit of info about your environment and browser, maybe I can comment.

The primitives available allow you to control all types of elements, also checkbox, radio buttons and combo boxes. If you want a more high-level interface, you will have to implement that according to your needs.

Probably this link will be helpful:

Also, have a look at this test

https://github.com/tobijk/caius/blob/master/test/ut_webdriver_select.tcl

for an example on controlling checkboxes and combo boxes.
