Browser("b").Exist(0) is slow

[elhanati]

hello,

I install recently QTP11.
i've noticed that when I check the exitance of the browser it seems to run very slow (my IE is not open):
x=Browser("b").Exist(0) - 5 Seconds!!!!

When my IE is open, it's run very fast - 0.03 seconds (even if the command return flase)

what should i do?

Any idea??

Same issue we discussed few weeks ago in another thread.

RE: Time Delay issue with Exist
Hi Lorena, i also faced this issue yesterday.

when i was trying to analyse why ...this is what i have found...
Do note that it is nothing to do with obj sync timeout property.

Code:

Msgbox Browser("CreationTime:=0").Exist(0)

No of browsers open = 0
Here i was expecting to timeout in 0 seconds to return false ..but it took around 5 seconds.

Code:

Msgbox Browser("CreationTime:=0").Exist(5)

No of browsers open = 0
Here i was expecting to timeout in 5 seconds to return false ..but it took around 10 seconds. (adds approx 5 seconds)

when u have a browser open, it returns true @ once w/o any wait.

Instead of creation, i also tried with other properties, the behavior is same.

Code:

Msgbox Browser("CreationTime:=0").Page("micclass:=Page").WebEdit("name:=userid").Exist(0)

No of browser open = 1 or > 1
no webedit in that name.
it reurns false w/o any wait.

So, Exist gets timeout as expected only atleast one browser is open. if not, it takes additional time.

---

Currently, i have overriden Browser exist method using RegisterUserFunc.
ie, only if the no of the browsers open > 0, it will use browser's Exit method. if no browser's open, no need to call browser exist and it will return false at once.

Hope you have got the idea now.
