Find Timeout on Flex app

Hi Guys,



I'm using TC to test a flex app.

I'm facing this problem:





obj.Find("Name", "Image(0)", 20).Click();





When the object exists, TC finds it really fast and clicks the object with no problem.



The problem occurs when the object is not there, it takes more or less 3 minutes to log an error and proceed to the next step. I tried with a smaller number on the depth parameter and it's faster but I need that "20" in depth to find the object I'm looking for..

Is there a way to give a maxTimeOut or something similar to a Find?

    Hi Jose,

     


    TestComplete iterates through all child branchs of objects within the specified depth. 20 is a kind of deep. Maybe you can identify more parent objects (by using wildcards to change dynamic parts or etc.) to reduce the number of branch during the search.

    That's exactly what I was trying to avoid in order to be able to use the same function throughout the entire tests instead of having to search for a closer parent.



    The thing is, when I use this on a webapp, it gives the error in a few seconds, using the exact same function... Maybe that's a problem directly connected with the flex technology or the way it is built...
