TimeoutException after 5 minutes

Web Testing
1

Hello,

I have a test that generates and downloads a report. The problem is that sometimes generating the report takes longer than 5 minutes.

I get a TimeoutException in Chrome and it looks like it is generated after 5 minutes. Is there a default timeout in Katalon or in Chrome that I can change or does someone know how to bypass this issue?

Error message:

Hello @heugy
Its a little bit hard to understand what you’re exactly trying to do… Especially when you say downloads a report. Could you show us the script that you’re trying to run?

Hi Chistoph,

In fact is is very simple i go to a website and that website is rendering a report (xlsx file) (its a report server from Microsoft)

This is the script part what can take a long time:

WebUI.navigateToUrl(reportUrl + id + ‘&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=EXCELOPENXML’)

sometimes the rendering takes longer than 5 minutes and than i get a timeout. If the report is ready in 5 minutes than the script works fine.

You can handle this in one of two ways. I’ll give you the quick-and-dirty way first, then give you some food for thought on how you could approach this differently:

1.) Open Project > Settings > Execution, and adjust the default wait time:

image
image979×733 74.2 KB

As you can see, for me this is defaulted to 600 seconds (10 minutes). The label states “… when IE hangs…” but I believe this setting applies to all browsers, not just IE.

2.) It looks like you are actually hitting an API (not a “website” in the traditional sense). If this is the case, you would be much better served handling this as an API test. Please reference this:

https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/create_first_api_test_katalon_studio.html#introduction

If you’d like to go down that path (which is the best option, IMO), I can give you more details.

Hi Brandon_Hein,
I already tried to change the “Default wait time when IE hangs” but for me it does not solve my problem.
the second testing with an API: I don’t no if reporting server 2012 has an API to test this, i tried something with SOAP (i believe reporting server 2012 has no rest api) but I could not get a connection.

Alright if that setting doesn’t apply to chromedriver, then you can get the driver manually and manipulate the timeout before navigating to that url. Give this a try:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory

ChromeDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
driver.get("https:…")
