Hi Megha,
Will you please explain how the object repository worked here it Test complete.
TestComplete has no object repository. The Object Browser panel doesn't contain the tested objects. It's used to explore processes, windows, objects and its methods and properties. You can obtain any running application or process using the Object Browser and then obtain the target object that belongs to it using the tree-type structure shown in the panel.
How to chnge the long displyaing object name?
For this purpose, TestComplete includes the Name Mapping feature that lets you specify custom names for the tested applications and controls. This feature is enabled in TestComplete by default. When TestComplete records a test, it usually maps the objects and then uses these mapped names in tests. To learn how TestComplete assigns names to objects, please refer to the Name Mapping - Overview help topic.
But it worked 2/ 3 days back for the same application.
Are use sure that the object hierarchy used in the application hasn't changed? If it has, TestComplete will fail to find the needed objects and will show the mentioned error. So, I recommend that you open your application and check whether its structure corresponds to the objects structure used in the Name Mapping editor.
Please let me know the results you get. Thanks :)
