InternetExplorerDriver

[finneycanhelp]

Hi,

For some strange reason, we're getting intermittent errors now when
running our tests using the InternetExplorerDriver from our test
server. Different tests are failing each time.

When I login remotely into the server, I can see the browser will come
up after a long time sometimes and I see nothing on the page but "The
service is unavailable." If I grab the same URL it is trying when it
failed and immediately try it manually from that machine using IE, it
works.

The sequence of events are:
1) The IE browser comes up.
2) The blue circle is spinning on the browser for a long time. The
status bar says "Website found. Waiting for reply..."
3) The message "The service is not unavailable." is put on the
webpage
4) The JUnit test that kicked off WebDriver fails of course.

webdriver-all-1.0.39.jar is what we are using. The server it is trying
to connect to is in the trusted sites list. It's trying to connect to
a secure site. Remember: different tests fail each time.

I changed the Test runner code to retry each failing test 5 times if
it fails, but they fail 5 times.

The OS is Windows 2003 Server


Any ideas or Help?

Thanks.
