In RIDE if execution stopped abruptly message log, Log and Report not displayed from next run onwards

If in middle of execution, click on Stop button under Run tab in RIDE then from the next run onwards, it is not displayed message log, unable to open (it showed as disabled) Log and Report from RIDE.

How to resolve this.

Solution

  • If your test is launching a process, like webdriver, then RIDE's output files may get locked by the stopped process. I have found that killing those processes would re-enable the Log and Report buttons on the next runs.

    For example (before starting a test run), enter the command in a cmd or shwindow: On Windows:

    taskkill /F /T /IM chromedriver.exe

    On Linux:

    killall chromedriver
