I spent some time banging my head trying to get Selenium to select an item from a Telerik RadCombobox for ASP.NET. It turns out I was very close but missing one small detail and that was to call mouseOver on the item I was trying to select before calling Click. I evetnually found the answer on the Teleik forums here. Falafel Software is a big fan of Telerik and it's nice to know their using Selenium to test their controls.

While setting up a CruiseControl.NET server for a project here at Falafel I ran into this error:

svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

After executing svn cleanup from the command line numerous times to no avail I finally realized the problem was a missing <workingDirectory> node for the project in the ccnet.config file. Well, I won't be making that mistake again.
