FindAll returns blank in log - help!

Hi All -  Trying to get back some data when doing the "FindAll" method.  "Find" seems to work fine and prints to the log fine.  Whenever I run FindAll, it does not give me any error - but the log i...

    You may need to explicitly convert the items that FindAll returns to an array

    function Find() {
Results = NameMapping.Sys.browser.page.nav.FindAll("contentText", "*", 1, 1000).toArray();
for(var i=0;i<Results.Length;i++){
  Log.Message(Results[i].MappedName);
  //you could break early:
  if(Results[I].MappedName=='TableName')  {
    break;
  }
} 
    }
//I tend to use for(var i=Results.length-1;i>=0;i--) because TC returns the find results from the leaf furthest down the hierarchy first and traverses up and in the majority of cases I want to look from the top level down - personal preference though

Thank you for the replies.

 

RUDOLF_BOTHMA - I tried that code - and it seems go through without any errors or warnings, but the test log is empty.

    That would seem to suggest that FindAll isn't finding anything at all.  You may need to revise your find criteria

     

    What does Log.Message(Results.length) tell you? if you put it in after the .toArray() ?  I would expect there to be a log entry "0"

      OR!!!!!

      The items you are finding don't have a Mapped Name... if they are not mapped in NameMapping, then MappedName is blank.

      So... is it that the log has NOTHING?  Or is the log showing a lot of rows of nothing?

        Thanks for the reply.

         

        I do have objects Name Mapped for sure on the screen in question and Parent element in question.

         

        if I run 


        function Find() {
        PropNames = ("contentText")
        PropValues = ("*")
        Results = NameMapping.Sys.browser.page.nav.FindAll(PropNames, PropValues, 1, 1000);
        Log.Message(Results.length);
        }

         

        I get a Log message of 53.

         

        There is a possibility that I am getting an array of empty values?  Is there any console in TestComplete to show whats going on? It's a bit difficult to see where this is failing, especially when I am not getting errors.
