#5 New waitForModalDialog not working.

[Stephen Newton]

I can't get the new waitForModalDialog working.

I had high hopes for this when I saw it included and
think it's a great idea.

But I can't get it working.

I've uninstalled IeUnit 2.1.219 then installed 2.1.220.

Then to see the new feature running I tried the sample
ModalDialogTest.jst

This doesn't work.

I've done some investigation and inspection and
The call of ModalEnterName.sbk is failing
Error:
Script File C:\Program
Files\IeUnit\samples\Win32DomTest\ModalEnterName.s
bk

If I comment out the '= ie.toDhtml()' in the Win32Dom.js
library the error cahnges to
Error: 'this.doc.window' is null or not and object
Script File C:\Program
Files\IeUnit\samples\Win32DomTest\ModalEnterName.s
bk

This shows me that the sbk file is running and ok, but
the error is in the waitForModalDialog() function.

I've never really understood the ie part of the modal
dialog and even less now there is the ie.toDhtml

Thanks for the report.

I have just tested the mentioned test case on three different
Windows XP machines. On two machines the case have
passed. But on the third machine, I got exactly the same
problem as
you described. I'll let you know when I figured a solution
for this problem.

Thanks,

The machine I run the tests from is 2000. I've also tried it on
an XP machine (unfortunately not on the test lab network)
and it worked.

I'm used to developers saying 'it works on my machine' but
this is first for me to say it to myself ;-)

Greetings,

I have exactly the same problem on a Windows XP SP2
machine. This is infortunate as I needed IEUnit mainly for
that feature !

This defect has been open for many months now. I am sorry
that it can't help you much.

One difficulty to fix this problem is that I can't reproduce
this problem on all of my machines. It happened with one of
my old laptop machine, but after some OS upgrads,
the problem magically disappeared.

My question is: Have you noticed any difference between
machines that passes and don't pass the test case
ModalDialogTest.jst?

Also, notice that the Win32Dom dll is open sourced.
Hopefully, some one with enough knowledge and
resources could giveus some help in this regard.

Hi,

There is very little difference in the machines where it
works and doesn't. Infact the older and slower of the two
is the working one. However the one that doesn't work is
on an isolated network and would not have had any OS
updates for a while. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me)
the product I'm testing has moved on and no longer uses
Modal popups but fancy Javascript apps that look like
popups but behave like part of the Ie window for IeUnit.
Although this helps me, it doesn't help 'spamgreg'. Sorry
about that.
