AutoIt Error - Line 316 of IE.au3 causing IENavigate to fail?

[ILoveAutoIt]

Yeah so I have this script that will run for a while but then after maybe 20-25 minutes I get 2 error windows (identical) that say "AutoIt Error" something about line 316 of IE.au3 and a problem with IENavigate

What are some things that could cause this error?

Thanks

P.S. I love autoit

Mind posting the code so we can find the problem?

Line 316 is here:

Func _IENavigate(ByRef $o_object, $s_Url, $f_wait = 1)

;

    $o_object.navigate($s_Url); Line 316

;

EndFunc  ;==>_IENavigate

Probably something has invalidated your $oIE object. Next time you see it post the exact error.

Whoops! I read his post incorrectly. It seems I've skipped over the IE.au3 part. Still, the OP's code wouldn't hurt.

[ILoveAutoIt]

The code is proprietary

Could it be that the computer lost connection to the internet?

P.S. running the code now, will post exact error when it occurs.

That really depends on the error. I doubt it has anything to do with an active connection or not, as that would be a silent error, not a fatal one.

[ILoveAutoIt]

Weird, since I posted this I've been running the script for hours and it hasnt come up. I must have changed something that fixed it

[ILoveAutoIt]

Here it is...

------------------------------------------

AutoIt Error

Line 316 (File "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3")

$o_object.navigate($o_Url)

$o_object.navigate($o_Url)^ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

------------------------------------------

[ILoveAutoIt]

Anyone?

[Richard Robertson]

Your object has become invalidated. Either something released the object or it crashed.

AutoIt Error

Line 316 (File "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3")

$o_object.navigate($o_Url)

$o_object.navigate($o_Url)^ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

------------------------------------------

I don't think $o_object has failed, or it would say something like "Variable is not an object".

The variable $o_Url might be changing and becoming invalid. You could add some temporary logging to track that.

You also might be hitting a timing issue where the browser is busy and can't be bothered with a .navigate command. You might put _IELoadWait($oIE) just before the _IENavigate().

[ILoveAutoIt]

Ill give IELoadWait a try since I know the connection being used can slow down occasionally.
