Hello,
When I record a script, it gives me variables for new dialogs and other objects. When a coworker records the same script, he is getting explict references to the same objects.
Is there a configuration setting that we have missed?
Thanks,
Dave
My script looks like this:
function Test1()
{
var sensorWorks;
var dlgNew;
var manageJob;
sensorWorks = Aliases["SensorWorks"];
sensorWorks["SensorWorksMain"]["MainMenu"]["Click"]("Project|New");
dlgNew = sensorWorks["dlgNew"];
dlgNew["ComboBoxEx32"]["SetText"]("test2");
dlgNew["btnOpen"]["ClickButton"]();
manageJob = sensorWorks["ManageJob"];
manageJob["textBoxJobNumber"]["SetText"]("123456");
manageJob["buttonOk"]["ClickButton"]();
}
His script looks like this:
function Test1()
{
var sensorWorks;
sensorWorks = Aliases.SensorWorks;
sensorWorks.SensorWorksMain.MainMenu.Click("Project|Open");
sensorWorks.dlgOpen.OpenFile("\\\\fs1\\Engineering\\MikeRakhunov\\200123_add_file_040716.proj");
sensorWorks.ManageJob.buttonOk.ClickButton();
}
Hi Helen,
Thanks for the reply but I'm still having problems. I tried changing the script engine on both systems and it does not seem to make any difference. I have installed another license on my primary laptop running Win8 and I'm getting the same results as my co-worker running Win10: the dot notation.

In both cases all settings are configured properly. But you should know that TestComplete creates variables only for objects used more then once.
Hello and thank you for your responses. I found the setting in Tool->Options but it is not what is causing the problem. It was un checked. Checking gives everything an Alias. I also still don't know why, when I record a test it looks like this:
sensorWorks["SensorWorksMain"]["MainMenu"]["Click"]("Project|New");
And when my co-worked records a test it looks like this:
sensorWorks.SensorWorksMain.MainMenu.Click("Project|Open");
Thanks,
Dave

If you mean different syntax (["SensorWorksMain"] vs SensorWorksMain), this is because your project uses C#Script or C++Script as a scripting language, and your co-worker's project language is JScript. C#Script/C++Script use the bracket notation object["Property"] rather than dot notation object.Property.
