Bug

What is the current behavior?

Unable to run tests. These tests run successfully till testcafe@0.16.2 version. Today when I tried to upgrade, getting following error.

Tests have failed in all 0.17.* versions. They are running fine in 0.16.2 version.

Update: Looks like issue may be with Chrome( version 60). Other browsers are able to run the tests.

What is the expected behavior?

Tests should run successfully.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Provide the test code and the tested page URL (if applicable)

Tested page URL: Internal URL

Test code

Specify your

• operating system: Windows 7
• testcafe version: 0.17.*
• node.js version: v6.9.1

We found a piece of code that generates the error you described.
But to fix it completely, we need to understand what your client script does.
Can you provide a page on which I could reproduce the problem?
If information on the page contains sensitive data, you can send me the source to mikhail.losev@devexpress.com

I got the issue that caused the error. We are using webcomponents which run Object.freeze on every component and probably HTMLElement as well. Somewhere in testcafe, you are trying to extend the HTMLElement in newer version. I nullified Object.freeze by overriding which resolved that issue.

But now I am getting following error (which I observed with testcafe@0.17.0 as well). Meanwhile I will ask my team and try to share the code to reproduce the issue.

BTW is there a way I can mock Object.freeze in browser before application load starts through testcafe? Coz my current implementation disables Object.freeze in application. I would rather prefer it to be disabled only during tests.

Unfortunately, no. But we have a proposal for this: #1739

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

The fix will be included in the next major release. Meanwhile it's already available in the latest dev version (testcafe@0.18.0-dev20170921).
