Hi,


There's no need to call it something like A.Allobjects.


If you use the NameMapping repository and (as we see in the code) you store references to NameMapping objects in variables.


You already have a reference, so you have to call AllObjects -> check the result and use the returned value in the code.

      I think You are using VB.


      I am using JavaScript but the example will be simple and i think you can understand it.


      example:

       

      Unit A

      Function AllObjects()

      Set abc = ........Something here.......

      Set bcd = ........Something here.......

      Set cde = ........Something here.......

      End Function

       

      Here you try to save values (NameMapping repository values in variables). Return these values from the function and use it in the routine you want. In JS this is something like that.

       

      function storeValues() {
  let variable = Aliases.obj.obj;
  return variable;
}

      to be honest You can always store single NameMapping value inside variable without declaring function above it.

       

      example:

       

      var mainMenuButton = Aliases.obj.obj2;

       

      or declare a function inside the variable:

       

      var mainMenuButton = function() { 
  return alias.Find(propNames, propValues, depth, refresh);
}

       

      ofc, instead of Alias.obj you can always use Sys.

       

      Is that helpful? Is that what you meant?

        Hi Wamboo,

        Thanks for your reply

        somehow, I am getting your point.

        function storeValues() {
  let variable = Aliases.obj.obj;
  return variable;
}

        In the above the function we put the name mapped value and assign it into a variable and get return of that function.

        but If i have a list of variable .. so I think there will need to create a lot of function and it will not make easy.

        ....I am trying but not getting your point properly as first I am facing problem that

        1) How can i  create a Name Mapping repository.. It's good to create manually or by script.. I want to handle by script

        2) How can I Store (objects or variables) in that repository.. and as you suggest that use NameMapped value and assign value in a variable and then return of that function. In that condition for lot of objests I have to create lot of functions. It's pathetic

        3) The last one is if every thing is ready .. then how I will call that object from repository to in my test cases unit.
