SeleniumRC for IE8 in Vista

Hi everybody,

 

I am using Selenium RC for my automated testing.

 

I want to run my test on IE8 in Windows Vista.

 

I know Selenium RC does not support IE 8 yet. But I want to know is there any workaround for the problem?

 

When I launch my test for IE 8, it throws a script error saying "couldn't open app window, is popup blocker enabled" (in HtmlUtils.js)

 

I have already disabled the popup blocker and added the CyberVillians Certificate in IE.

 

 

 

I will really appreciate any help........

I 've seen this message too.

 

Are you using Eclipse to lunch your test?

If you use Vista, you should run eclipse as an adminstrator.

Right-click on the eclipse icon, and select the Run as administrator.

IE8 tests work for me with the latest seleniumRC and Windows Server 2008. I use the *iehta browser command.

Re: SeleniumRC for IE8 in Vista

I ran into this same issue with running my Selenium code against Selenium RC and NUnit on my Vista Business system. When I would launch IE8, I would see the same java script error. It is a result of a permission issue, in how Selenium RC is launched. On Vista, it must be Seelenium RC under Administrator privileges. I simply created a shortcut to the batch file that i was used to start Selenium RC. Then, I set up the shortcut to Run As Administrator.

Hi Yossy,

                 Even Im getting the same error what Kipil had encountered. As per your suggestion, I ran my eclipse as an Administrator. Now Im able to run my scripts on IE 8.

 

Thanks A lot

Naani....
