IFrame issue: Uncaught frame.frameElement: Target closed

[jimpriest]

What are you trying to achieve?

Testing a site which uses frames.

What do you get instead?

Doing a very simple test just checking for a text on the page I get very inconsistent results. Sometimes it runs and passes but often times it fails with "Uncaught frame.frameElement: Target closed"

I can immediately run the test again and sometimes it will pass, sometimes it will fail again.

Things I've tried that don't seem to improve things:

• running headed or headless
• using firefox or chromium (haven't tried electron yet)
• using --plugins retryFailedStep (doesn't seem to help as it seems to be an error not a failure)

What can I do to make these more reliable?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

Uncaught frame.frameElement: Target closed

Error: done() called multiple times in hook <General Smoke Tests "after each" hook: finalize codeceptjs for "I am both SMOKE and FOO test @smoke @foo"> of file C:\www\bold2-tests\smoke_test.js

Provide test source code if related

Feature('General Smoke Tests');

Before(({ I, loginPage }) => { // or Background
  I.amOnPage('/');
  within({frame: "#master_frame"}, () => {
  	loginPage.login(process.env.APP_USERNAME, secret(process.env.APP_PASSWORD));
  });
});

Scenario('I am a smoke test but not FOO', ({ I }) => {
	within({frame: "#master_frame"}, () => {
		I.see('Main Menu');
	});
}).tag('@smoke');

Scenario('I am both SMOKE and FOO test @smoke @foo', ({ I }) => {
	within({frame: "#master_frame"}, () => {
		I.see('Main Menu');
	});
});
