How to change scripting language of an existing project

Hello, I have created a test project and worked with it for a while. Now I realized that I did not select the right scripting language. I understand, that the scripting language is se...

Hmm, after spinning my wheels for few hours I got to this forum-thread.

I see Alex’s note to increase the priority for this feature to be able to change the “hard-casted” scripting language after the project was created.

Was this implemented along these 3 years or I’m not finding the proper location?

I saw the Script > right click > Panel Options > Code Templates >> Languages: VBScript   however it won’t change to any other values I’m setting it...

So if it was not implemented yet, I would second Carsten in this, so we’re at least 2 now (or 3 with Mathijs)!

While I hit an issue with excel and had to take the risk to switch the language.

 

The current code sample only supports VBScript and JScript (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/24734/), while using the JScript snippet in JavaScript (TestComplete 12), it reports "book.Sheets() is not a function".

 

Have to close my project, open and update my project mds file, then reload the project again.

 

Changed from

<config language="{90F89436-9452-4F95-9882-6B5210079F13}" />

to

<config language="{E42909F2-4390-4F5D-94B8-FABF59BABFCE}" />

 

Now it seems to be fine, I can read/write excel now. I would not suggest you to do this unless you want to take the unknown risk, JavaScript to JScript is probably has the lowest risk, I guess?
