Can't have objects methods

Hello!
I have the following trouble.
In Unit 1 I create a class and define its properties and methods.

function MyClass() 
{
  this.myProperty;
}

FileClass.prototype.myMethod = function(){
  \\code
  return result;
}

I have written export.

module.exports.MyClass = MyClass; 

Now I want to use it in Unit 2.
I connect import.

var MyClassUnit = require("Unit1");

I create an object and use it.

myObject = new MyClassUnit.MyClass();
// do something
myObject.myMethod();
// it works

But there is one question: when I write the name of the object and put a dot after it TestComplete (IDE) does not offer me the available methods and attributes, I have to write with my hands, which is inconvenient when there are a lot of methods to constantly look at a Unit1.


How can I solve this problem?

  • I'm not sure what you're asking... another way to do what?  Get a Code Completion to popup on objects instantiated on classes declared in another unit?  Not really, no.

    You can't.  The code completion of TestComplete does not bring over methods and properties of objects declared in another unit using the module.exports method.

      Thank you!

      But maybe is there some other way to make what I want?
