    I opened a support ticket and finally, got the solution. Thanks.

     

    The issue got resolved by Disabling the Live Caption in Chrome settings.

     

    Steps - 

    1. Go to Chrome Settings -> Advanced -> Accessibility (chrome://settings/accessibility)

    2. Disable Live Caption

Hi rmalhotra 

 

Can you try the following, 

 

Navigate to your web application, using the object spy in TestComplete 

 

Check if TestComplete recognizes any objects on screen

 

Can you check if the extension is actually running when you launch chrome.(there may be a block running this process with your antivirus or group policies) 

 

It could be that be that our "tcCrHost.exe" is not running. TestComplete uses this process to send information between the extension and the client. Without this process the client will believe that the extension isn't installed. When this issue occurs please try validating that the process is running. You can check this within Task Manager under the "Details" tab. If it's not running then it may be blocked or delayed by your system's security systems. In this case it may be necessary to whitelist the process.

Hi vinniew 

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I checked in Task Manager that "tcCrHost.exe" is running.

 

Object spy in TestComplete is not recognizing any objects on screen. Instead, it is recognizing the whole screen.
