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 ...

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

Does you try to run your script routine from the Project Explorer tree ?

- Select the wanted script in Project Suite tree

- Right-click on it

- Highlight the Run menu item and unfold its sub-items

- Click on the desired routin to play

 

Is it playing all Project Suite also with this method ?

Yes even doing it the way you describes kicks off the project run.

    Can you reproduce it with any of TestComplete Sample projects?

      Good Idea!  Yes all the Samples are doing the same thing.  It appears something in the background is messed up.  I've tried to find a playback setting along the lines of 'always run project'.  

       

      I submitted a ticket and i'm waiting to here back.  Once I resolve it I'll update this thread.

        Curiousity question:

        Back in the day, there was an option in TestComplete to specify, for a project, what a "Main" routine was.  This was in the days before "TestItems" were introduced and, even for a while after that, they had some backwards compatible support for those of us who were upgrading to newer versions.

         

        How long as your TestComplete project been in existance? It ALMOST sounds like that option got set somewhere and, therefore, no matter what you do, TestComplete executes that code. If it's scattered across ALL your TestComplete projects, it might even be something in the registry or in the TestComplete settings on your user account somehow.

        Have you tried having another user on another workstation attempt the same thing? Are they experiencing the same problem? If not, it MIGHT be worth an uninstall/reinstall on your machine to reset any strange settings.

         

        Another thought:

        Are there any command line parameters that are used in running your instance of TestComplete?  For example, are you running the project by double clicking on an ICON and then, after it runs, it's left on screen for you to edit?  It MIGHT be worth investigating something on those lines as well. 

        Grasping at straws, I know, but this is a weird puzzle and, as Sherlock always says, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
