1. I have just started learning Selenium IDE, RC and Perl script. I created a simple test case in Selenium IDE that completes to the end without any errors, when I set the Speed Control to Slow.

2. I Formatted the HTML to Perl and saved the file as (.pl) and compiled the program.

3. Selenium RC server reports back the Error:

09:24:10.538 INFO - Got result: ERROR: Element link=SQAForums not found on session b98fb731fd034f358dc7d7550ae7fd15

4. The command prompt reports back the Error:

# Error requesting http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/: # ERROR: Element link=SQAForums not found not ok 8 - click, link=SQAForums, # Failed test 'click, link=SQAForums, ' # at sqaforms2.pl line 22.

I think this has something do with the speed\moving forward before it get the Element.

Can anyone help me to fix this error. I have researched this and only found a possible solution for Java Script.

Code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::HiRes qw(sleep);
use Test::WWW::Selenium;
use Test::More "no_plan";
use Test::Exception;

my $where_firefox_lives = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\f
+irefox.exe";

my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost", 
                                    port => 4444, 
                                    browser => "*firefox $where_firefo
+x_lives", 
                                    browser_url => "http://www.sqaforu
+ms.com" );

$sel->open_ok("/logout.php");
$sel->click_ok("link=Login");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");
$sel->type_ok("Loginname", "patrickee");
$sel->type_ok("Loginpass", "leeee1");
$sel->click_ok("buttlogin");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");
$sel->click_ok("link=SQAForums", "");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");
$sel->click_ok("link=Logout");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");
$sel->click_ok("ss0");
