Is there a limit to the no of levels that can be recognised in object mapping
Hi all,
I've just started to use TestComplete to automate a brand new system, IE8, c#, ASP.net with some
infragistics web controls thrown in for good measure too.
Earlier versions of our software was automating with no problem. We have redeveloped a number of screens and it is my aim to now automate these. I've run in to a problem from the very beginning of the new screens that have been developed.
If I go and identify a control on the screen, then play back the script to, say, click a value in the drop-down list of the control I'm getting 'the object does not exist' message.
If I drill down and take a look at the 'additional information' it looks to me as though not all the levels in the object have been saved in the object map? I've noticed that there are a deep no of levels and I was wandering if there was a limit to how many could be stored in testcomplete?
I can even select an object from the screen, place it in script and perform a 'highlight object' and the object cannot be found.
So, is there a limit to the no of levels that can be recognised via testcomplete, and is there anything I can do to the object map to simplify this? I sincerely hope so, otherwise this tool will have to be shelved.
I've uploaded a graphic of the error message from the log, please don't hesitate to ask if more information is needed.
Thanks
Sarah
