Random getAllLinksOnCurrentPage failures

Code: list = WebUI.getAllLinksOnCurrentPage(false, )

I’m getting random failures with getAllLinksOnCurrentPage. Often time, it’ll just work. 10% of the time, I’ll get this:

Test Cases/Other and GDPR/Verify all links FAILED.

Any ideas?

As a general rule of thumb, when you’re getting inconsistent behavior, it’s more often than not a timing issue.

Try putting a hard delay in before you make the call:

WebUI.delay(5)
list = WebUI.getAllLinksOnCurrentPage(false, [])

If this leads to more consistent behavior, then you should replace the delay with a proper wait condition.

Also, is there any more to that error log? Can you post the whole thing?
