Are you using Test Execute 11 to test Connected Applications in Visual Studio 2015?
Hello Community
I have a problem with TestExecute 11 using Connected Application in Visual Studio 2015 Professional Edition.
Our testing framework is a VS 2012 solution which is compiling without any errors.
When open with Visual Studio Professional Edition 2015, cannot be compiled.
There are a lot of errors like:
Cannot convert type 'AutomatedQA.script.var.VarDelegate' to 'bool'
Cannot convert type 'AutomatedQA.script.var.VarDelegate' to 'int'
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'var.VarDelegate'
Cannot implicitly convert type 'AutomatedQA.script.var.VarDelegate' to 'AutomatedQA.script.var'
etc.
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015
Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.6.01038
Test Execute 11.31.2450.11
The support case for this issue is:
CASE #00174600: TC11.31 SUPPORT FOR MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 2015 PROFESSIONAL
If you see this case, the problem is not resolved for VS 2015 Professional and probably there will not be the solution.
I get the impression from comments there that only we are using TestExecute to test an applications via Connected Applications.
That was the latest comment from SmartBear Support:
"Hello Maria,
We have investigated the issue and found out that the issue was caused by changes in the Visual Studio 2015 C# compiler. We may need significant time to find a solution from our side. Even if a solution is found you will have to modify your code to work with Visual Studio 2015.
In this situation, we think that the best solutions for the issue are.
1. Continue using Visual Studio 2012 or 2013.
2. Use TestLeft. It is considered as a replacement for the Connected Applications feature and has more powerful functionality. It will be developed in the future while we do not have plans to develop Connected Applications."
So, I need to rewrite all tests and also, I need to buy together with Test Execute a new product.
If you are using TestExecute with Connected Applications what are your comments about this?
Regards,
Maria
