My NameMapping changes with each run

Hi Nikhil,



I guess you have two different objects which match the same recognition criteria, because the recognition criteria are not unique. That is why when you run the checkpoint for the first time, it matches the first object (the first matching object found by TestComplete), but when you run the checkpoint for the second time, it matches the same object again (although you expect it to match the second object). To help us investigate the problem, please follow the steps below:



1. Insert the following routine call before retrieving the problematic object in your test (change the process name):

LogAppStructure(Sys.Process("MyProcessName")) // or  LogAppStructure(Aliases.MyProcess))

Here is the LogAppStructure routine code:

Sub LogAppStructure(obj)


  Err.Clear


  On Error Resume Next



  Dim count, i, Str


  


  ReDim params(7) 


  params(0) = "WndClass"


  params(1) = "WndCaption"


  params(2) = "Index"


  params(3) = "Visible"


  params(4) = "Exists"


  params(5) = "ClrFullClassName"


  params(6) = "ProductName"


  params(7) = "ProductVersion"  


  


  Str = ""


  For i = 0 To UBound(params)


    If IsSupported(obj, params(i)) Then


      Str = Str & params(i) & " = " & VarToStr(Eval("obj." & params(i))) & VbCrLf


    End If


  Next


  


  Call Log.AppendFolder(obj.Name, Str)


  For i = 0 To obj.ChildCount - 1


    Call LogAppStructure(obj.Child(i))


  Next


  Log.PopLogFolder






  On Error GoTo 0


End Sub

 

// JScript, C#Script



function LogAppStructure(obj)


{


  var count, i, Str;


  


  var params = new Array();


  params.push("WndClass");


  params.push("WndCaption");


  params.push("Index");


  params.push("VisibleOnScreen");


  params.push("Exists");


  params.push("Visible");


  params.push("FullName");


  params.push("ClrFullClassName");


  


  Str = "";


  for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {


    if (IsSupported(obj, params))


      Str += params + " = " + VarToStr(eval("obj." + params)) + "\r\n";


  }


  


  Log.AppendFolder(obj.Name, Str);


  for (var i = 0; i < obj.ChildCount; i++) {


    LogAppStructure(obj.Child(i));


  }


  Log.PopLogFolder();


}

2. Execute your test and reproduce the problem. The LogAppStructure function will post the entire structure of the tested application to the test log and you will be able to see how objects are recognized right before the problem occurs.


3. Zip your entire TestComplete project suite folder along with the log of the test execution and send me the archive via our Contact Support form. Make sure that messages in your log correspond to correct actions in the latest version of your test.
