    I think I have found my problem. I thought I didn't need the "Navigate" operation at the start of a Keyword Test, if my browser was already open to the desired page. So I removed it from my test if my functionality had several Keyword Tests that I ran successively. Until now it was working. But I see that when I run the same test 2 times in a row, the second time doesn't work if I don't have the "Navigate" operation.

     

    I'm a new user of TestComplete. It won't be my last mistake ğŸ˜‹

     

    Thanks for your responses !

I would try recording a test that performs these steps two or three times in a row, then see what code TestComplete generates for you.  There may be a clue in that generated code.

    Hi Marsha_R ,

     

    I've tried 3 different recordings and the they all have different results !!!

     

    The recording is very slow since yesterday. I've tried closing everything and rebooting my computer but it's still slow.

     

    1- The first recording, has recorded the "Click" and the "Ctrl + a" operations but not the "[Del]" one.

     

    2- The second recording has just recorded the Click operation. Not the "Ctrl + a" and not the "[Del]" operations.

     

    3- The third recording has recorded a "Click" and a "SetText" operations. No "Ctrl + a" and no "[Del]" operations.

     

    Usually, I don't use anymore the "SetText" operation because it's not available most of the time even on items that are exactly the same type. I search the web regarding this and I read that you should use the "Keys" operation that is safer.

     

    Thanks !
