Hi Shaheed, I solved the problem. I put a time.sleep() between the two actions as below: selectmenuitem ('frmUnsavedDocument1-gedit', 'mnuFile;mnuOpen') time.sleep(2) click('dlgOpenFile', 'btnCancel') It was a kind of sync problem.

Thanks. I have followed the new "How to write test scripts in python" and another similar error is happening.

If that is the case, your selectmenuitem should be as follows, selectmenuitem ('frmUnsavedDocument1-gedit', 'mnuFile;mnuOpen'). Also cross check whether the accessibility is enabled or not.
