StreamReadException

[rafwell]

Hello. What is the best way to handle an unstable connection? I'm using the google chrome driver to login and submit on a form, however the target server is unstable, timeout often occurs and sometimes, out of nowhere, this exception occurs: StreamReadException. What is the best way to ensure the continuity of my process?

Thankful.

If the end users would also experience these timeouts, then you'll testing what users is seeing unfortunately.

But is not a timeout 408. The request is "loading..." for some times, and i get this exception randomly. Debugging with Chrome, i see the loading, and then end correctly after some time. I think is a bug on driver.

However, i need deal with, resend request or another way. My user no need know that.

I don't see any easy way for dealing with this, because after exception you'll loose all context of the test and page is likely to crash anyway. You can do a try catch around every test line, but that is huge overhead.

That's true. I made the following change in the driver to work around the problem, and now works much better. However, I am here to see if there is no more correct way. What I've done seems to me "not right".

Sorry for not do a real fork in gitlab, I can not create an account - no aparent reason.

No such issue other drivers, like Selenium2?

[rafwell]

I could not run selenium2. It made a lot of mistakes, so I tested the chrome and got it. It may be that selenium does not occur.

Closing this as this seems to be about the chrome-driver which is not maintained by us
