#308 Starting Test fails with TestManager.exe failure

[Daniel Sutcliffe]

I'm not 100% sure what causes this but it seems to
mostly happen when a network has gone away and come
back or the IP address has changed.

The error is simply that when starting a Test from the
Commander the start will fail and the Microsoft dialog
"TestManager.exe has encountered a problem and needs to
close ..." appears. Clicking for more details shows
that the omniorb304_rt.dll was involved as was winsock
- more evidence that this is basically a network issue.

Once this has happened you should be able to restart
the Commander and the NameServer, the Test will
probably then work fine if your network is stable again.

More information on the actual circumstance of this error
required. I currently can't reproduce this problem at will.

I get the same error every time I start to run a script after a fresh reboot. After seeing the error once I am unable to start another test as the play button is greyed out.

Scripts that work on other OpenSTA installations produce the same results.

My machine is a Toshiba A10 laptop running WinXP SP2.

Disabling my firewall does not help.

As I can recreate this at will can you let me know what information I should upload and I will do so ASAP.
