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 😋

Thanks for your responses !

Hi,

I have a checkpoint that compares (after the save), the value in the field after the change with the value passed by a parameter and it failed because the change has not been made. But there is no error on the "Click", or "Ctl + A" or "Delete". When I run it, I can see that nothing is happening on the screen.

The "True" value that you see on the second line is the check that I'm doing to verify that the item exists.

    Yay, glad you figured it out!
    
    Yes, Navigate turns out to be kind of like Set Focus. Better to have it there just in case.
    
    You're right about using Keys, although occasionally I have run into a spot where Set Text worked out better.
    
    We will be here for more questions, any time!
