Delphi 12.x officially unsupported?
Hello TestComplete Team
Recently we've faced a problem with TestComplete testing DevExpress Ribbon Control in Delphi x64 application using Delphi 12.2 + newest DevExpress V2024 1.5 / 16-AUG-2024.
We raised support case as your TestComplete is "under a running support" (case No 00678248). This case was answer by SmartBear:
Thank you for reaching out to TestCompete support! Unfortunately, the issue is likely due to the lack of support for Delphi 12 and newer versions.
We are now opening this community thread to find a solution for companies having invested into TestComplete and looking for a solution:
Facts from our side:
- Delphi 12.1 was still fine.
- Our problem is only x64 specific in the combination of DevExpress/Ribbons/Delphi 12.2"
- We have a large investment into our TestCompete testing environment, which is now "worthless" due to a small error!
Questions:
- Does the SmartBear support answer mean, that TestComplete has, without prior announcement, dropped Delphi out of the supported platforms?
- Is that possible while support contracts are running (e.g. we have a 3 year contract).
Suggestion:
- As SmartBear obviously lacks of Delphi specific resources, could at least consider, to release the necessary pluggings (tc*.bpl files) as opensource in order to maintain them?
with best regards,
