Error trying to verify array value from another script unit [//USEUNIT] in current script unit.

I am using TestComplete v11,31,242 and Jscript. I have been using TC and Jscript about three months now. So my understanding is limited. I am creating modular script units for functions that are goin...

    you have declared var pStat [] globally (out side function)  which is OK

    but you are again declaring var pStat [] inside function so the program got confused...

     

    inside of function you do not need Var keyword 

    just do like 

    pStat = 
    [Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Name.contentText, 
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.ptSource.contentText, 
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.acNum.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.MRN.contentText,
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.DOB.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.aDate.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Dept.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Group.contentText];

    or better

    pStat[0] = Aliases.browser.....Name.contentText
pStat[1] =Aliases....pt.Source.contentText

    pl type full-name instead of dots above

     

    Also a good place to grasp programming concepts is http://www.w3schools.com remember this is not jScrip TC have but most concepts are similer

Hi 

 

Yes, pStat is inside of a function. It has been delared, if you look at the first block of code, it goes like (within function) -

 

function getPatientStat()
{

. . .

  var pStat = [];
  var pStat = 
   [Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Name.contentText, 
    . . .

Autocomplete works only when the "array" is inside of the main unit. Once removed, it does not!

 

Log.Message(pStat[3]); 

Therefore, does not work when the "array" is missing from the main unit. This tells me that it is loosing track of array values one the"array" unit is completed and returns to main unit!

 

Any thoughts?

 

There has to be a way to retain the array values, so I can continue with the rest of the test.

If you declare an array or variable inside a function, it is not available outside of the function. Unless it's a return parameter of the function.

Previously I was assuming your array was globally declared.

 

Or am I totally misunderstood your question?

    Hi NisHera

     

    I think you are onto something here! As I mentioned earlier, I am pretty new at this! When you say "globally", what exactly do you mean, can you clarify (with an example) please?

     

    Thanks.

        Hi Colin

         

        Based on your suggested reading, found out I need to declare the variable outside of the function. So this is what I have-

         

        Unit "Search Patient by Department"

        //USEUNIT Patient_Info
// [Name, ptSource, acNum, MRN, DOB, aDate, Dept, Group] - in a array "pStat[]""


//search the patient by department
function searchDept()
{

    //gather patient info (unit "Patient_Info")
    Patient_Info.getPatientStat();

    //back to Unit Search Patient by Department
    // log pStat -
    Log.message("Name: " + pStat[0]);
    Log.message("Patient Source: " + pStat[1]);
    Log.message("Account Number: " + pStat[2]);
    Log.message("MRN: " + pStat[3]);
    Log.message("DOB: " + pStat[4]);
    Log.message("Admission Date: " + pStat[5]);
    Log.message("Department: " + pStat[6]);
    Log.message("Group: " + pStat[7]);

    //home
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.menuHome.Click();
   //select search by department and patient name
   Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.selectSearchBy.ClickItem(1);
   //select department dropdown - "Emergency Department"
   Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.selectDepartment.ClickItem(3);   
   //set patient name 
   Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.inputPatientName.SetText("Lena")
   //search
   Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.btnSearch.ClickButton();
   //select patient
   Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.firstPatient.Click();
   //view information
   Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.menuViewInfo.Click();
    // MRN = 
            Log.Message(pStat[3]);
   //check patient MRN
    aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.MRN, "contentText", cmpEqual, pStat[3]);
    . . .

        Unit "Patient_Info"

        //patient info
    var pStat = [];

function getPatientStat()
{
   . . .
     
    //point IE to SWCE3
    Browsers.Item("iexplore", "", Browsers.pX86).Run("https://swce3.imedconsent.com/SRC");
    //input username
    ...;
    //input password
    ...
    //slelect domain 'none'
    Aliases.browser.pifLogin.aspnetForm.setDomain.ClickItem(0);
    //click login
    Aliases.browser.pifLogin.aspnetForm.btnLogin.ClickButton();
   //search patient name
    Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.inputPatientName.SetText("lena");
    //click search
    Aliases.browser.pifHome.aspnetForm.btnSearch.ClickButton();
    //view information
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.menuViewInfo.Click();

    
    var pStat = 
    [Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Name.contentText, 
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.ptSource.contentText, 
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.acNum.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.MRN.contentText,
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.DOB.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.aDate.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Dept.contentText,  
    Aliases.browser.swce.aspnetForm.panelPatientInfo.Group.contentText];  
}

         

        I am running "Search Patient by Department" routine, it immediately runs the Patient_Info routine and returns back to continue.

        For some reason, array values are not ported over to Search Patient by Department. Log reports "undefined". Not sure what I did  wrong.

         

         

         

         

         Thanks for your help.

         

        Dave
