    Hi TanyaYatskovska ,

     

    The issue solved by itself without me changing anything. I had updated the code base from the trunk. Seems that a change in some other part of the code got this issue fixed as well. Since I new to this and the project, I dont still have the full picture. But I think we can mark this as resolved since the issue is not there any more.

     

    thanks

Hi,

 

As it is documented and was mentioned here several times, search by XPath in TestComplete can return either wrapper object with all properties and methods added by TestComplete or native DOM object. In the latter case (which seems to be yours) you may use only native DOM methods and properties (potentially - browser specific: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/cross-browser/handling-differences.html).

For example: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Using-Xpath-in-TestComplete/m-p/151235/highlight/true#M30757
