TestRunner batch mode with threads=5

vinu32

Hi -

OS Name - windows 7, 64bit
Browser Name - IE 8
Sahi build - 3.5

I am trying to execute a suite file from TestRunner with threads=5. The suite file looks like -

SD_CreateCase_2.sah https://staging.abc.com/index.do
CHIEFCreateCaseForRTRSvcs.sah https://staging.chief.com/member/login.php

Both the URLs are different and scripts are independent.

When i run this suite file with 5 threads it should open 2 IE8 and run them parallely. TestRunner does open 2 IE8 and navigates to the URL but only one script executes and it is invariably always the second one. The first one errors out with -
ERROR
Script did not start within 150 seconds. at Nov 16, 2011 10:05:28 AM

When i change the threads to 1, both the scripts run one after the other with no error.

can you please let me know if there are any other changes i need to make to run the scripts in parallel?

thanks
Vinod

Hi Vinod,

Can you post the IE8 section of your browser_types.xml file? It looks like the browser options may be incorrect. It should look something like this:

    <browserType> 
        <name>ie</name>  
        <displayName>IE 8</displayName>
        <icon>ie.png</icon>
        <path>$ProgramFiles (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>  
        <options>-noframemerging</options>  
        <processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
        <useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy> 
        <capacity>5</capacity>  
    </browserType>

Also open scripts/demo/demo.suite keep only the top two scripts and try running that suite file to see if there is a specific problem with either https sites or your scripts.

Narayan

Hi Narayan -

un-commenting <options>-noframemerging</options> did the trick. I was able to run all the test cases in parallel and SAHI works like a charm.

thanks a lot for your help.
Sahi Rocks!!
