Selenium - OnWebStepSyntaxError

What triggers this event and how can it be prevented? I am seeing this for the **go** action for web pages that take a while to load. The new Selenium session does not have the same properties as the internal browser, where you could set the **Completion** time.

In selenium session there is an action 'waitForPopUp', which will appear while capturing the pop up windows. If a popup does not appear with in the given time for 'waitForPopUp' action, then it will throw an error as 'OnWebStepSyntaxError'.

I've never used waitForPopUp. This happens with the go action. I finally had to override the

OnWebStepSyntaxError to display a warning instead of error and retry a few times.
