Using Specrun 1.5.2 with Specflow 2.1.0 to run my tests. I am having issues where the test keeps aborting using selenium to wait for a long amount of time(because I have to and there is now way around it presently). 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, TimeSpan.FromHours(1));
                
                wait.PollingInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
                wait.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromHours(1);
                //TimeSpan.MaxValue.TotalHours
                wait.IgnoreExceptionTypes(typeof(ThreadAbortException));
                wait.IgnoreExceptionTypes(typeof(NoSuchElementException));
         
    wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.TextToBePresentInElementLocated(By.XPath($"//*[@data-ths=\"engagement_{EngagementId}\"]/../div[1]/span[2]"), "Ready"));

Whether I run the test from the command line or from within Visual Studio Enterprise using C#, I get the following exception:

TechTalk.SpecRun.Framework.SpecRunException: At least one test thread aborted. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

  • Why would you need to wait for over 10 mins in an automated test? – JeffC Sep 19 '17 at 18:25
  • Nature of application. There is something being processed by a third party system and it can take up to an hour before that process to complete – user5199 Sep 19 '17 at 20:48

    Then it doesn't sound like a good candidate for automation. – JeffC Sep 19 '17 at 20:49
  • I normally agree, but unfortunately the business wants us to continue the test flow that has this dependency, until the time to wait is fixed - which may take a while for developers to fix it. So how do I get around the timeout issue? – user5199 Sep 19 '17 at 21:10
  • I did discover that by playing around with some of the configs in the default.srprofile that I could get it to wait. But the caveat is that our multithreaded test runs in specflow would then become single threaded. Which is not ideal. So it seems like either a specflow limitation on threading with the wait for that long or there needs to be a specflow set I'm not aware of – user5199 Sep 19 '17 at 21:13
  • Can you run your script (script #1) that sets things in motion and then do something else (maybe run another script, do some SQL queries, etc.) later that verifies that script #1 was successful? – JeffC Sep 20 '17 at 00:04

This was a bug in the SpecFlow+Runner which will be fixed in version 1.6.3.
