Ranorex Forum

Hi

I am struggling with a problem with my web-application, where a page is actually loaded but some async calls is blocking the UI randomly for a unpredictable amount of time. I now try to loop in this situation and want to click on a button until it gets available, but the it seems the way i check if the click was successful does not work and so the loops just loops until the end.

Here is the loop section in the c# script.

var index = 10
while (index > 0) {
    WebUI.delay(2)
    result = WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_X/button_Neue Rufnummer'), FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
    if (result) {
        index = 0
        WebUI.delay(2)
    } else {
        index = (index - 1)
    }
}

The idea is to check if the click was successful (result == true), set index to 0 and expect the loop to finish. but it keeps stepping trough 10..9..8.. until 0. At an average the successful click happens around the 3rd/4th iteration of the loop.

Using Ranorex 9.1 and rather new to using it.

any help appreciated.

Hello danielm,

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to tell why your loop is not working without seeing the behavior of your application. I'm wondering if there is a better solution than implementing a loop.

May I ask if using a simple "WaitForExists" call would do the trick.

For example:

repo.WebUIInfo.WaitForExists(30000);
