Modify Auto-Wait Timeout through Code

Hi Folks,  Due to a design problem of TestComplete Exists method does not provide additional overload of maxtimeout millisecond parameter and it does wait until time specified in Project Properties ...

    You can change the auto-wait timeout like this:

     

    Options.Run.Timeout = 30000; // 30 seconds

I'm not sure if I understand. But when you want to expect something you can use as well. Adding a variable to control the maximum time.

var time: integer;
while not (Sys.Waitprocess ('Doro'). Exists) of
   begin
     time: time + = 500;
     Delay (500);
     if (time = 10000) then
         Log.error ('Error');
     end;
end;

When you want to wait other objects etc. You change only while the condition for example.

Another thing that can help, it would for example. As every time the TestComplete does not find the object (mapping) it calls the TIMEOUT time. Not to call you will:


var time: integer;
begin
time := 0;
Options.Run.Timeout: = 0;
while not (Sys.Waitprocess ('Doro'). Exists) of
   begin
     time := time + 500;
     Delay (500);
        if (time = 10000) then
             Log.error ('Error');
        end;
end;
// After waiting you expect you assign the value of nomal timeout
Options.Run.Timeout: = 10000;
 
I hope this helps = D
