Get mapped object based on Alias string?

Hi, I am trying to create a python function that allows me to find a mapped object based on the MappedName string. Here is my function currently: def wait_for_mapping_object_to_exist(mapping):   a...

    I can't seem to post an image because "Too Many Uploaded Images. You have reached your upload limit of 1,000 images." !

    For example, I have the following hierarchy in my Mapped Objects -

    NameMapping.Sys.browser.pageSmartbearSwagShop.panelPagecontainer.panelShopifySectionFeaturedColle.panelFeaturedItems.panelGoBearGetGoingHoodie.linkGoBearGetGoingHoodie

    and my Aliases hierarchy looks like this,

    Aliases.pageSmartbearSwagShop.linkGoBearGetGoingHoodie

    Use the WaitAliasChild method to delay the test execution until the object specified by its alias (linkGoBearGetGoingHoodie) appears in the system or until the specified time limit is reached

    function main()
{
    Aliases.pageSmartbearSwagShop.WaitAliasChild("linkGoBearGetGoingHoodie", 30000);    
}

Ok great. One more thing i'm not understanding. Say we have an object "Aliases.javaw.MainWindow.Panel.CommandMenuBar". Would the function work like this?

Aliases.javaw.WaitAliasChild("MainWindow.Panel.CommandMenuBar", 1000)

This seems to not be working. I may be misunderstanding the documentation. Thanks

      I see. What would be the equivalent for WaitNamedChild? That may be simpler. I need to be able to traverse further than the immediate child layer below an object

        WaitNamedChild is used against Mapped Objects, as opposed to Aliases.

        The "Dot" notation is a syntax used in many programming languages, including Python, to access an object’s attributes and methods. You can only verify an object existence, individually. However, it should be possible to create a method, pass in the string e.g. "javaw.MainWindow.Panel.CommandMenuBar", split the string into components and convert each component into an object, and then verify each object - I don't program this way, but you may find examples on the internet.
