Interaction between jquery and coded ui test

Hi,

We recently upgraded the version of the jquery libraries that we are using in our web development project from a 1.X.X version to 2.0.2.

Our web application implements an AJAX call to populate data in a grid based on a selection of an item in a drop down. The dropdown is opened, an item in a list is selected and then the drop down closes. On close, a .getJSON call is made which brings back information to populate the grid.

When we run automation tests, using coded ui test to operate on the dropdown control and populate the grid, the AJAX call goes out but never returns. Our application sits in a loading status but the grid never loads.

If we run the same process manually (without coded ui interaction) the grid is populated.

There seems to be an interaction problem between coded ui test and jquery 2.0.2 where the AJAX call and process start but never return anything.

Has anyone seen and interaction like this before? Any ideas on how to fix it?

We are running test in IE9. Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks
