Why set Wait State and Delay Options?
If a script needs to wait before executing a particular command, you can
insert a delay for just that command.If you are testing an application in which time estimates are not predictable, you can define a wait state for a verification point so that playback waits based on specific conditions rather than on absolute time.
How to set the wait state options?
1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
2. Click the Wai t State tab.
3. To specify how often Robot checks for the existence of a window, type a
number in the Retry test every box.
4. To specify how long Robot waits for a window before it times out, type a
number in the Timeout after box.
5. Click OK or change other options.
How to set the delay options for commands and keystrokes?
1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
2. Click the Playback tab.
3. Click Delay between commands. Type the delay value.
This is the delay between each user action command and between each
verification point command during playback.
4. Click Delay between keystrokes. Type the delay value.
5. Click OK or change other options.
How to set Error Recovery Options?
Use the error recovery options to specify how Robot handles script command
failures and verification point failures.
- Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
- Click the Error Recovery tab.
- To specify what Robot should do if it encounters a failure, click one of the
following options under both On script command failure and On verification
point failure:
Continue execution - Continues playback of the script.
Skip current script - Terminates playback of the current script. If the script with
the failure was called from another script, playback resumes with the command
following the CallScript command.
Abort playback - Terminates playback of the current script. If the script with
the failure was called from another script, the calling script also terminates.
- Click OK or change other options.
What's an unexpected active window?
An unexpected active window is any unplanned window that appears during script
playback that prevents the expected window from being made active (for example,
an error message from the network or application-under-test). These windows can
interrupt playback and cause false failures.
