[Electron] Unable to get 'Page' objects [but sometimes it works]

Hello,   I have a new electron-based application that will need to be tested, and now I'm looking into whether I can do this using TestComplete. I'm already using TestComplete for a web and desktop...

    This is the most important part of the documentation at the moment:

    Supported Electron Versions

    TestComplete can test 32- and 64-bit applications created with Electron version 1.8.2, 2.0.2, 3.0.2, 4.0.2, 5.0.0, 6.0.0, 6.1, 7.0.0, 7.1, 8.0 - 8.1.

    Note: We do not guarantee that your tests will work with applications created with other versions of Electron.



    You're probably just lucky that it runs on Windows 10.  

     

    I would contact Support directly at this point.  Here's the link:

Hello Marsha,

 

The application uses version 9 of Electron, but I don't think there should be such a big difference that it doesn't detect Page object. I tried several times (over 50 attempts), but I couldn't find a pattern to figure out why it works sometimes.

 

And yes, I think I looked over all the TestComplete documentation pages that include Electron. 

 

An important thing to mention is that the environment is on Windows Server 2016, and on Windows 10 I do not encounter this problem of object identification. Are there any permissions that should be enabled (The user is an administrator).

 

Another thing that I noticed, in the Task Manager the application uses 5 processes to work, and in TestComplete I can only identify 1. I can identify the other processes with Sys.Process("App Name", Index), but I can't figure out if it would help me with something to fix the problem.
