    I have shared namemapping for several projects testing Delphi applications.

    on and off encountered with same problem but found it's refering to two namemapping files.

     

    in your case it could be either mapping propertied are different in alpha and beta or two files are used. 

    also check TestedApps are correct in two projects (upper and lower cases)

     

    please go through name mappings in two projects carefully(in TC).

    and go through file structure (in windows explore) and see whether there are two mapping files.

    if you see two files, re-name which you think not the original and see.

I only have one Delphi based project so it doesn't currently share any functionality from other projects. (All my test framework is script extensions so I don't really count that)

 

But from looking at the object spys, it looks like the Alpha one isn't seeing the control correctly? Why is it all shown as "Window" objects? That doesn't sound right. Are all the correct extensions enabled in the Alpha project?

 

I tend to do all my launching of applications via scripting shell objects and also have a bunch of checks at the same time to find and kill any leftover/unwanted services or processes so I always get a clean start ....
