selenium ide 录制回放link链接报错

回放是出现以下错误：

也就是回放点击打开新的链接时出现这个错误，

这个问题说的是 点击此链接会新打开一个窗口

selenium1是不支持多窗口切换的 因此会卡在这里，也就录制不支持这个操作，但是很多书都没有写出这个缺陷，都说又这个功能，真是很坑啊，我当时找到这个

原因时一万只羊驼飘过啊

selenium2 即 selenium1+webdriver 很好的解决了这个问题

selenium1 所以装再高版本也没用

selenium2 指的是 webdriver

webdriver是没有录制功能的 全凭手写

在stackoverflow我找到了最佳大答案

即通过放慢回放速度就可以正常打开连接了

I got the same error message while going through the tutorials online. I found out that the scripts were running too fast for FF to load the links. If you slow down the playback by moving the green button on the Fast-Slow bar to somewhere in the middle the scripts run without any errors.

I guess I know the answer. It might be bcz of any javascript error(you can see that on the status bar at the Right corner(IE)) or that link element might not be placed correctly in the box(box model). Here you can use Selenium.focus("link=text") :selenium.keyPressNative("10") . It presses the enter key.but while selenium is executing this statement Do not change the focus from your AUT (don't touch the mouse). In IDE ,just paste the above statement on click().

I thanks , i get the solution it was due to the fact that it looks for the Google search results prior to i press the <search> button , i think there needs to add a statement to press the <search> button/ – mohsin Jun 16 '11 at 10:47

Im assuming you are using Google instant as there is no "click search button" command, the link is probably not preset because selenium is not waiting for Google instant to respond or the javascript to render the link. If you manually add in a click command to search it should solve it.

My solution is almost the same as Cuongs. Though I change the speed by using a command and change it back afterwards.

Before you click the link, you can set the speed to slow: Command: setSpeed Target: 3000

You can change the speed afterwards again to ~1000

Well, I don't think you have to slow the speed down. You know the problem is caused by clicking on the link before it is available, so you could add an extra command waitForVisible (e.g. link=Bill Gates: Chairman) before the clickAndWait command.
