Auto complete is not working
Hi there, Am using the Testcomplete for desktop automation. Am developing the script using Python. Its a WPF application. The issue is - Auto complete doesn't work most of the times(80%). Am...

AutoComplete will only work if it knows what it needs to complete.
For example, let's say I have this code:
function getOnScreenObject(objectName) {
return Aliases.myApp.WaitAliasChild(ObjectName, 10000);
}
function test1() {
var myObject;
myObject = getOnScreenObject('textbox');
myObject. // At this point, AutoComplete won't work on MyObject because it does not have any context as to what myObject actually is.
}
This is just one example... but the basic rule is the same. If you are trying to type out something and TestComplete can't detect what it is you're trying to reference, it will not be able to do an auto-complete of the objects, methods, and properties of the object.
If you can post up an example of the code you're trying to edit that is not giving you autocompletion and perhaps some context of where this is happening in your test project, we should be able to help you.
Mainpage.py file
---------------------
class A():
create_btn = Aliases.myApp.ButtonCreate
def main(self):
self.create_btnHere the auto complete doesn't work. There is no auto complete suggestion for self.create_btn. So i tried like below
create_btn = Aliases.myApp.ButtonCreate
class A():
def main(self):
self.create_btnStill i didn't get any suggestion. But if i try to keep a dot after "Aliases.myApp.ButtonCreate." then i got suggestion.
I honestly don't know python syntax very well... but I don't believe that you're going to get any auto completion for anything using the "self" as a root. There is no context of what "self" is at this point in the test creation in the TestComplete environment.
