Hi cmcmahon, it looks like you've gone to a lot of work. I won't say it was for nothing. Thank you for trying things out that might help me. It appears that your conclusions are correct as far as your website goes. It may very well be that there is a memory leak because of the way you are do

Hi bb_tester. You have a very good point. As of right now, the test is always running on my personal development machine, though we are already working on building a "spider/bot environment". This will minimize the possibility that another process is taking over or killing our process, but I

Do you have any other programs or services running in the background?  (In particular any monitoring programs in the System Tray?)  Have you tried collecting system performance metrics while you run your test?  So just for fun I did this:  #3require 'watir'include W

Hello Nathan, thanks for all the details you included in your initial post.  While I don't think I can add anything more to the programming/troubleshooting side of things than have already been offered, I haven't seen anyone yet ask what else is going on in the system. Do you have any other program

When I run my recursive script, I expect it to traverse every link within our rules to four levels by default.  As the Spider goes through our website it collects a great number of links - level 1 = 1, level 2 = 27, level 3 = 475, level 4 = 2670.  It does a great job of getting through everything u

Thanks for the idea Dave. I don't really believe that the link type is the problem, though it may be related. I don't want to test the links that I filter out on purpose because they either don't take me to a new page, or they take me to the same page multiple times because they are always in

Can you break up the test into smaller chunks? Say test1 checks one type of link and exits, Test2 checks another type of link and exits, Perhaps this workaround will get you more complete results, assuming it's a timing or space issue. ---

can you access that link without going through your recursive script? Does it do anything special if done directly? - Original Message - From: "Nathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 8:30 AM Subject: [Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError -

Thanks for your detailed report on how you are using Watir. I agree that the error you see happens because your IE window is closed. I don't know why it closed, either. You need to restructure your testing system so you can get more information about what is causing the window to close. And you

Good morning, I have created a very nice script that does a few specialized things in the way of testing our website using Watir. First of all it is not your typical test, as it is a Spider or Web Crawler specialized to crawl our website. It only touches links that contain our domain, that ar
