How did this ever work before?



We have two computers (same OS) running the same automated test. In one of them the test failed because it could not find the checkbox on the screen with the name WPFObject("CheckBox", Use default role", 1) while on the other computer the test passed successfully.

After careful inspection we found out something odd and that is we defined the name used to locate the object wrong. As you can see, the name has a missing double quote enclosing the string "Use default role". So, in other words the name should be WPFObject("CheckBox", "Use default role", 1)



So, my question how did it work on one computer and not the other? Please help me by explaining this mystery.







Best regards,



-Enrique

    Hello Enrique,

    My explanation of the problem is that somebody occasionally deleted the double quote character in your second computer, as the WPFObject("CheckBox", Use default role", 1) notation just cannot pass the syntax checker.
