I am evaluating Test Studio for purchase but I've run into a problem. I am testing a web application running inside Sharepoint 2010. The app makes extensive use of modal popups using the Sharepoint javascript library [SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(dOpt);] which are actually contained in an iframe.
I can record the test fine, but on playback I get an error when I tray to select or valdiate an element on the popup:
Unable to find the target host (Browser/SilverlightApp) to locate an element. Failure: System.TimeoutException: Wait for condition has timed out
at ArtOfTest.Common.WaitSync.CheckResult(WaitSync wait, String extraExceptionInfo)

InnerException:

How can I get around this?

Has this support ticket been resolved? Could someone provide the resolution? I am experiencing the same problem.
Seems like, the reason for this issue is that every popup dialog in SharePoint becomes new object within Test Studio with different, randomly generated id (i.e.: DlgFrame08575e54-a052-40ba-9eae-7b24e34ab5ae) and random FriendlyName.
I have made a recording where I entered simply two items into SharePoint list (using the same new form dialog). As it is visible on the attached screen - test studio created two different instances of frame dialogs: FrameDlgFramebaa64c4Eb00 and FrameDlgFramef2995ea519b0.
During playback, Test Studio is attempting to find dialog frame with particular FriendlyName and fails (since newly oppened dialog receives new random name).
Maybe the resolution would be to use code to find the frame dialog in DOM basing on part of frame friendly name (like 'FrameDlgFrame'). Any idea how this could be done?

Hello El_Topo,
Thanks for posting the error and screenshots. The error message "Unable to find target host" means that for some reason the frame is not being found. When you're testing elements inside of a frame there is an URL which is used to connect to the frame. Please make sure the URL is correct.
Another reason for this error could be a dynamically generated ID "DlgFramef1b84c1a-3014-4e8e-a218-66dfb8c34931" you can try using this expression instead "~DlgFrame" in the ID field, as shown on the screenshot.
If this doesn't help, the best and the fastest way to troubleshoot this, is to reproduce the issue locally. Is remote access to your site possible? If it is not possible, perhaps you can point us to a public site that demonstrates the issue.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kind regards,
Cody

Yes it was. It turned out to be a dynamically generated ID is the iframe elemen. Here's a copy of that response:
