cnunitselenium

I'm using Selenium, C#, NUnit to write tests, sometimes I getting below error:-

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : No response from server for url
httр://lоcalhost:7055/hub/session/8dd13f5c-7ca6-4aa6-babc-f0ff6d940f0a/element

Here is stack trace:

Code where this error appears:

Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(frameElement);    
var wait = new WebDriverWait(parentContextable.Context.Driver, Timeout);
IWebElement element = wait.Until(d => Driver.FindElement(By.TagName(Tags.Body))); // error in this line

I figured out that this error can be thrown only in this lines of Selenium implementation code:

private static Response CreateResponse(WebRequest request)
        {
            Response commandResponse = new Response();

            HttpWebResponse webResponse = null;
            try
            {
                webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            }
            catch (WebException ex)
            {
                webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;
            }

            if (webResponse == null)
            {
                throw new WebDriverException("No response from server for url " + request.RequestUri.AbsoluteUri);
            }
            else
            { ...

Maybe someone knows why request.GetResponse() returns null, or if it fails why ex.Response also null?

(09.09.2012) Sorry but maybe I didn't provide all information. I'm using FireFox driver, Win7, Selenium 2.25.1. My test fails only sometimes. Test in debug mode fails less often then in Release.

Here I found possible reasons why this happen. And if I write such code:

Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(frameElement);    
var wait = new WebDriverWait(parentContextable.Context.Driver, Timeout);
Tread.Sleep(250);
IWebElement element = wait.Until(d => Driver.FindElement(By.TagName(Tags.Body)));

Test runs OK. But Thread.Sleep is bad solution. Maybe somebody could find another, little bit better solution.
