playback now does entire project instead of single function

I'm testing an internal company website using scripts (Javascript).  Everything has been going well but all of a sudden when I try to playback a single test, Test Complete is playing back the entire ...

    Ok so got the solution from the Ticket.  

     

    Rookie Scripting mistake/friday thinking about the weekend maybe??

     

    I had the following in my common functions script

     

    exports.SPLogin = SPLogin();

     

    it should've been

     

    module.exports.SPLogin = SPLogin():

Capture.png shows highlighting a function, right clicking and then selecting the run current routine

 

Capture1.PNG shows selecting a function from the options

 

Capture2PNG shows pressing the play button with the selected function from the dropdown.

OK... Do you have an OnStartTest event handler defined?

If so, what script routine or keyword test is it pointing to?

 

It's possible that, somehow, you have that handler pointing to whatever main routine executes your entire project. When you run even the "Run current routine" option, it fires the OnStartTest event handler so that COULD be what's going on.

    I do not have an OnStart Test event handler defined.

     

    What's weird is everything was working then all of a sudden it stopped.  It's a new project I started to try and fine tune the test better using scripts instead of keyword tests, so it's a practice project.

     

    What's not cool, I went to our Keyword test project that's in a separate Project suite, and it's now acting the same way.  I select a specific Keyword test from the Project explorer and right click on it and select 'Run (keyword test name)' and it kicks of playback for the whole project.

      That is truly bizarre, that's for sure.

       

      Question: Did you create your new project as a "clone" of the first one or did you create a new one and then add stuff to it from your first one? It's entirely possible that there are some shared files or objects between the projects that making changes in one has messed up the other and vice versa.

        When I created it I created it as it's own project with zero information from other projects.  I wanted it to be isolated, it's not even in the same folder as the other projects.  

         

        I'll submit a ticket and see what the help desk can come up with.  Also uploaded my playback settings (capture3.png)

         

        the only thing I can think of is when I decided to setup hotkeys for commenting and uncommenting, that's really the only settings I messed with.
