VCLTestToolIssues

(Which might also be used for testing 2.0 - 2.2)

75147 Server Timeout at .exists()

Issue 75147 testtool: respect .exists( time ) value over 'Server Timeout'
Effect: If the value for Server Timeout in the TestTool Settings is lower than the value in the .exist() command, an error comes up, telling you a Server Timeout happened.
This only happens, if the dialog, that is waited for, needs longer to come up, than the value of the Server Timeout is.
Workaround: The default of the Server Timeout is 45 seconds;
The test runner might change this to 3 minutes or
the script writer uses something like this:

 Dim i as integer
 i=0
 while (NOT .exists(10) AND i<10)
     i = i+1
 wend
 

73372 Crash with URP_Bridge

No issue in TestTool, but in OOo with annoying automated testing:

from SRC680m196 issue 73372 Exception not caught: URP_Bridge: disposed

Visible in OOo 2.2
Effect: TestTool and OOo crash - somtimes with messagebox about URP_Bridge.
Workaround: Restart test.
