AA stops at confirmation/alert box

[deepaks]

Hi
I am using AA6.0 trial version to fill a form on web application.
On submitting the form the application opens a (Ok/Cancel) confirmation box.
AA records this as mouse click with the window name and mouse coordinates.
However when I run the task it hangs at this stage saying the window is not found. In fact the window name is not changed at all.

Second question- When I open browser from AA during recording or task run it is not opened in maximized position? Any reason?

Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak,

While doing web recording if any process is carried out on windows based application, those actions are recorded as a mouse click or keystrokes.

Regarding the problem you are facing, please try below mentioned suggestions:

1. Try adding more delays before the mouse click command in your task. Follow below mentioned steps to add more delay in the task.
• Select the task from the task list and click on “Edit” button. This will open Task Editor Window.
• In Task Editor, on the left hand side under Commands, categories select Pause/Delay/Wait.
• Select Delay/Wait and enter the delay of 500ms.
• Save the task and try to run it.

2. Replace mouse click with Keystrokes.
• Follow the above mentioned steps to open Task Editor.
• Select Insert Keystrokes from the Keystrokes/Mouse categories.
• Select the window title of pop up that appears while opening website.
• In keystrokes text box enter the username.
• Follow below mentioned series of keystrokes to enter username and password.
1 Keystrokes: UserName in "Currently Active Window"
2 Delay: (500 ms)
3 Keystrokes: [TAB] in "Currently Active Window"
4 Delay: (500 ms)
5 Keystrokes: Password in "Currently Active Window"
6 Delay: (500 ms)
7 Keystrokes: [ENTER] in "Currently Active Window"


Web Recorder will by default open the browser in minimized window. We recommend you to use Maximize window command from “Windows Action” command. You can find “Windows Action” command at following location in Task Editor.
Task Editor -> Programs/Files/Windows -> Windows Actions -> Maximize Window.
