Hi Tapamiti,

 

Not sure if this helps, but check that browsers are not allowed to run in the background (i.e. when the browser process exists in the system but the browser itself is not visible).

If the browser is allowed to run in the background, it does not contain Page element and this causes TestComplete to fail to navigate to the required address.

Thanks Alex for your comments.

But I closed all the browsers from taskmanager process before running the scripts.

 

The results is still the same ie, broser is launch but not launching the test url.

      You could launch the site with a script snippet

      Use something like

       

      Call Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run("http://www.google.com")

       

      followed by any BrowserWindow Object Methods you need (Maximize for example)

       

      Once the browser is up and running,(the .Run method) and the browser has navigated to the correct page(the optional navigation string)  control will pass back to the Keyword test for further processing

        Thanks for reply Everseeker,

         

        I have done that, but it did,nt helped. 

        Infact I have tried all possible ways to start the browser (as per belows link):

        https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/68727/) 

         

        Later I checked version supportted by TestComplete 11 from:

        https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/72106/

         

        I found my Chrome was at version 45.0.2454.93 and as per above link it supports it. But it does work!!

         

        Same case with Firefox. My Firefox browser was at version 40.0.3, as per above link it supports it. But it does work!!

         

        Later I installed Firefox version 40.0.2 and its disabled auto update.

        And then it worked fine.

         

        Sadly I could not find previous version of chrome. :smileysad:

         

        Currently I am using:

        • Internet explorer 8
        • Firefox 37

         Waiting for either old version of chrome or Testcomplete to support it :smileyfrustrated:
