Namemapping extended find, object spy does not show aliases
Hi.
I use TC9, and I have namemapping issues. The software I'm testing is changing it's user interface layout from build to build. This means namemappings break from time to time. To avoid having to re-map the changed controls, I was going to use Extended find on some of the controls, and remove some of their parent controls. This works, as in, the script runs when it calls the aliases that corresponds to a control with extended find turned on. But our test-engineers cannot "go backwards" and use object spy on a mapped control, and get the corresponding alias shown. I thought this was a feature of TC9? We need to use aliases to de-couple our scripts from the actual namemapping, but if it's not possible to look up an alias on a mapped object with extended find, this is a feature that I would like to request!
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe I have missed a setting for it to work? Could someone shed some light on namemapping with extended find, and aliases look-up?
Best regards
