Is TestComplete compatible with FireFox ?

Hi, I'm trying to use TestComplete with FireFox 61.0.1 , but TestComplete is not recognizing the objects on screen . I applied all the recommendations mentioned in Preparing Firefox for Web Testi...

    What version of TestComplete are you using?  Currently, TestComplete 12.50 supports up through FireFox 61 as per https://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/firefox-patches/.  

     

    Likewise, TestComplete 12.50 supports Chrome 67 out of the box... but there is a requirement of having the Chrome extension installed in the browser.  If the extension isn't installed, you won't be able to recognize objects in Chrome.

    Finally we resolve this . Somehow we miss the following setting in firefox

    browser.tabs.remote.autostart

    browser.tabs.remote.autostart2

     

    we changed it to false. and it work now.

     

    Thanks

Is it not recognizing them during recording or playback?  If it is a NameMapping issue then you may need to find what works best for your web application testing. NameMapping itself is great, but it is something that takes time to figure out.  I am still finding better ways to interact with it all the time. 

 

You may have to take the approach I did and add NameMapping manually with criteria specific to the way you need the items to be found.

OR

script out finding the objects using the Find method

Object Spy is not able to highlight the object.

    Any object or just a specific object? Can you post a screen shot of object in your object browser? Does this happen on all sites or just one?

      It happens for all site.  After selecting the option ctrl+Shift + A when I bring the mouse over any objects like button it do not show red highlight in order to capture the object.

       

      Thanks
