No TestComplete is not able to interact with the developer console.

 

What are you trying to do? We might be able to help you find a way without the developer console.

I would like to perform some suspicious activities on my test page and see if they are handled properly. For instance, making a required field to optional, or  hacking a disabled button to enabled by manipulating through the developer console, things like that.

      I followed the example in the given article, but not sure how to set the script type to JavaScript in VBScript. It is giving this error message to me.

      Hi again,

       

      I am getting error from the codes that was working 2 month ago. It is complaining "Unable to find the object Application. See Details for additional information.", but it was working before with the exact same codes. Any idea what is going on?

       

      PageDocument = Aliases.browser.Page("*").Application.document
      body = PageDocument.body
      script = PageDocument.CreateElement("script")
      Call script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript")
      script.text = "function disableButton() { document.getElementById(""btnSignin"").disabled = ""disabled""; }disableButton();"
      script = Body.InsertBefore(script, null)

        What has changed since the last time the code worked?  Windows upgrades, browser upgrades, TestComplete upgrades, change in test environment?
