Stange behaviour on VM

Posted on by IA-28031459-0

I use the same flows on multiple machines - one of the steps baing to ensure a ui checkbox is enabled.

This works perfectly on 3 physical machines and ensures the checkbox is enabled

1 If already enabled it does nothing

2. If not enabled - it checks the box

The problem I have is I have rolled this flow out to users on an Amazon EC2 instance (virtual machine) - and this doesnt work - it does check the box if unchecked - yet if the box is checked it unchecks it.

How is this possible - I am using same PD version, same chrome etc - There is just no logic as to why it behaves differently.

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried using "Get selected checkboxes in window" and seeing if that returns correctly True if checked and False if not unchecked.
Then you could try making if statement where if returns %False% then use either "click UI element" or "press button" -actions on the element. Sometimes those work even though you would think you'd always want to use checkbox action.

So on the virtual machine - the element is reckognised as ischecked = "false" - on the physical machine the element is recognised as ishchecked = "true".

This is the problem - it is different on the physical machine and the amazon instance - how can that possibly be - same PD version - same chrome version.
