    The above suggestions did not correct my issue.

    Playing with this issue more and remembering a long, long time ago.

    When I had code modules and the function\methods named the same like above,
    this issue would be seen.

    The way I corrected it was to either rename the code module or the function\method name.

    This would clear up the issue and allow ctrl-click navigation to work correctly.
    A little bug here?

    Auto fwk adjusted and code checked in.
    All working now.

You're likely seeing the Ctrl+Click issue because TestComplete isn't correctly indexing the TC538453() function. Even though it's declared properly, possible causes include:

  • Project parsing issues
  • Corrupted script index
  • File encoding (use UTF-8 without BOM)
  • Missing or incorrect //USEUNIT reference

Fixes to try:

  1. Close TestComplete completely
  2. Delete .tcLS files from the project folder (these cache script state)
  3. Restart TestComplete
  4. Open the project, then use File > Save All to rebuild references
  5. Ensure TC538453() is uniquely declared (not duplicated)
  6. Confirm proper //USEUNIT usage if calling from another script
  7. Check script file is UTF-8 encoded without BOM and cleanly formatted

If Ctrl+Click still doesn't work, try isolating the function in a minimal test. If the issue persists, open a SmartBear support ticket with project details.
