Selenium keyword - Select Frame random failure

[Arul]

Hi,

I am trying to robot testcase using selenium keywords (http://
robotframework-seleniumlibrary.googlecode.com/svn/tags/robotframework-
seleniumlibrary-2.2.1/doc/SeleniumLibrary.html).

While selecting a iframe using keyword 'Select Frame' it is failing
randomly, once in three times with the error
ERROR: Selenium failure. Please report to the Selenium Users forum at
http://forums.openqa.org, with error details from the log window. The
error message is: Permission denied to get property
Window.seleniumMarker1257413957716

I tried using both id & name while selecting frame, no use. Can
someone help regarding this?

Have you tried putting a short delay in before hooking the iframe?
I've found more often than not, it's a timing issue with selenium when
I get similar errors.

If that works, you can put in various waitfor messages make sure the
needed elements are there before hooking the frame. If it doesn't,
someone else have any ideas?

This looks really strange but sounds also more like a Selenium bug
than a bug in SeleniumLibrary. Have you searched Selenium forums for
information related to this?

I'd also try Tim's suggestion to add a small sleep before the randomly
failing action to see does that have any effect. If that works, you
should definitely change the sleep into some kind of "wait for"
condition as Tim noted too.

I tried adding sleep before selecting frame, but its not working. while the test is executed i can see the contents of frame got loaded but its failing in select frame.

i searched in selenium forums also but i couldnt able to find anything. is this robot issue or from selenium? or is there any alternative?

Hi,

I tried the same scenario using selenium ide and there Select Frame keyword(comes from selenium) works fine.
When using the keyword Select Frame from SeleniumLibrary, its failing.

I just want to check whether some text is present in the page created with iframe, but if I am using keyword Page Should Contain - text without Selecting frame it is failing with message - Page should have contained text "  ", but not.
Is there any other way to check this without using select frame keyword?(i think no)

I really need to have a test case to check the page is loaded or not. anybody have ideas?

Regards,
Arul

Can you attach the relevant part of the script created by Selenium IDE
and your Robot test case. I could try to compare those and see if
there's a functional difference, or if the bug comes from Selenium-RC.

Hi
this problem got solved when i used crome option to open browser. i was using firefox option to open the browser and somehow this caused the error and moreover crome option will give more stable results when compare to other one.(i got this while going through selenium tutorial).

thanks,

You might want to consider upgrading to SeleniumLibrary 2.2 series,
where we use Selenium RC 1.0.x, which in turn uses *chrome as default
mode for Firefox.

Sure i will, what is the difference between these two options for firefox browsers?

thanks,

In the chrome mode for Firefox has more rights than normally which
makes testing in certain scenarios (especially with https) easier but
would be unsafe in normal usage. Notice that chrome in this context is
not at all related to the Google Chrome browser. Notice also that IE
has similar mode called, if I remember correctly, iehta.

SeleniumLibrary has for some time used chrome/iehta modes
automatically when needed. After Selenium RC 1.0 (used by
SeleniumLibrary 2.2 series) this isn't needed anymore as Selenium uses
these elevated modes by default itself.
