    divyagupta03​ No answer from support on a timeline for a fix yet. Responded that this is a critical issue as we are unable to run tests successfully. I will update this post if I hear back. 

     

    We have not seen the issue with Edge at the moment. So we are using that for the time being. Looking into ways to parameterize what browser we use for a whole test suite run

      That's a good workaround to use Edge until SmartBear address Chrome issue.

      To run your TestComplete tests using different browsers (like Chrome or Edge) without rewriting your scripts, you can parameterize the browser selection at the project level, create a Project Variable. This allows you to switch browsers for the entire project by changing a single variable or setting.

      function LaunchApp(url) {
  var browserName = Project.Variables.BrowserName.toLowerCase();
  Browsers.Item(browserName).Run(url);
}

LaunchApp("https://yourwebsite.com");

      You can also specify CI/CD pipeline command line value

      TestComplete.exe "YourProjectSuite.pjs" /run /project:"YourProject" /pv:BrowserName=edge

        Yeah we found a pretty good path forward for us at the moment.

        Basically added a global variable 'Browser' to our project suite. Specify 'Chrome' or 'Edge'

        Then in every keyword test or script in each test project change the Navigate operation to use Parameterized, change the Browser to a variable and set the value to 'ProjectSuite.Variables.Browser'
