indeed a strange behaviour.

Let me understand your code:
- in the first Assert.isTrue you check if there is the button. But it is normally not there, that’s why you want to step into the waiting loop. But doesn’t the failing assert stop the execution flow?
- The waiting loop seems to be all right and if there is no failure and the button appears in the time range, the button is clicked. But this is also checked with the first statement, in the other I think we would’t reach that point.

If the asserts are ignored you could end up with a button click without a real button on the screen. But that is just an assumption. I also have no clue what the “unspecified error” is. Hope you can resolve your problems.

public static void WaitForElement(ISelenium selenium, string elementId, int timeout)
{
// Loop initialization.
for (int second = 0; ; second++)
{
if (second >= timeout)
Assert.Fail(String.Format(“Waiting for Element {0} timed out.”, elementId));
try
{
//Search for element and if available then break loop.
if (selenium.IsElementPresent(elementId)) break;
}
catch (Exception)
{ }

//pause for one second
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

For ex: while clicking button, i am getting below error message:

click[btnNext, ] on session 058d1db6d44847258753cada7bb83704
11:55:12.685 INFO – Got result: ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window. The error message is: Unspecified error. on session 058d1db6d44847258753cada7bb83704

This happens for contols like button, sometimes radio button, sometimes checkboxes.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!

these functions are code I run with Selenium RC. I think you could also extend the Selenium IDE but then you have to extend the Javascript files with corresponding code.
Because we run our tests as automated tests, Selenium RC is the best choice for us. In this way we could include the tests in TestNG (or JUnit) and simple run it in different browsers.

Hope that helps. If you have questions about the setup, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for the help!
