A condition in the if statement is causing problem

Hi,  I'm writing a script to test a java client. There's a dialog recognized as an SWTObject. If the dialog is not present, 'else' block  in the  following code should be executed, but something ...

    The exists method could be used if the object is mapped though, or using WaitProperty.

    Hi Abhi,

     

    Replace SWTObject() call in your code with WaitSWTObject() one.

Please try VisibleOnScreen property instead of Exists or try with Aliases.javaw.Findchild(propname,prop value,20) .

 

Thanks ,

Ashok

    Definitely use FindChild.  You can't call the "Exists" property of an object that does not exist.  FindChild, if it cannot find the object, returns an empty object with an Exist property with a value of false.

        Thanks Carson....Yes that's what I didn't think about. Object should have been mapped for using 'Exists' property. 

        I used the wait property and that solved the problem. 

         

        Thank you

      Thank you, Robert! I agree that I can't use 'Exists' for the object which doesn't exist. That's why I was expecting the 'else' block to be executed. I used the WaitSWTObject property and that works well.

       

      Thank you
