Question

I have getting this error, on running script in Selenium IDE on Firefox.

[error] Option with label 'Morning' not found

Following link has image which shows the part of script which causes error on running this command.

Script Image

This error doesn't occur when the script run speed is set to medium speed. But I need to run it in fast speed mode. So what command to use so that the error gets removed in fast speed mode.

Answer 1

Insert "pause" command before the "Morning" label check command.

Command      Target          Value

pause        3500
select       id=ddl_Shift    label=morning

you can increase the pause target and check.

For better solution refer below link. Other than using pause, below article explains how to use commands like "waitfor"

Answer 2

It will fail on the faster speed as the element wont have fully loaded yet. Add in a waitForElementPresent step.

<tr>
    <td>waitForElementPresent</td>
    <td>id=ddl_Shift</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>select</td>
    <td>id=ddl_Shift</td>
    <td>label=morning</td>
</tr>

You could use a pause, but it's not the most efficient solution. For example if the website was slow to respond at any point it would still fail, and if you just set a long pause your script would take longer than needed if the element is fast to load. This way it only waits as long as it needs to.
