Problem with Region Update

Margaret,



Yes, I have the "Update regions" (although the link in your step 1 calls it "Update pictures") option enabled and I have the Update box checked for all regions.  It worked for only one region at some point, but I can't get it to work for any region anymore.



Thanks,

Eric Robinson

The relevant scripting code is



Regions.Source_Unselected.Check(mapWindow);



This line is the same code for all of my regions.  Only the region name changes.



I'll attach the screenshots you requested. Please let me know if I can help in any other way.



Is it possible that the method of region checkpoint creation makes a difference?  For example, some of them were created while recording a test.  Others were created manually and then referenced from a test script.  All have at least once after they were created.  I will try different ways of creating them and see if that has any effect.

Here is what I have been doing to reproduce the problem.



1.  While recording a test, create a region checkpoint.

2.  Before running the test, I click on the Update check box for the region I just created.

3.  When I run the test, the region did update.



4.  Then I right-click on the region in the Regions Editor and rename the region.

5.  Make sure the update check box is still checked.

6.  Run the test again.  This time the region did update.



7.  Edit the name again to change back to its original name.

8.  Make sure the update check box is still checked.

9.  Run test again.  Region did not update.



10.  Create a new region from the Regions Editor by right-clicking and choosing New Item. There is no option to give it a name so leave the default name.

11.  Make sure the update check box for this new region is checked.

12.  Add the code to check this new region. 

13.  Run the test again. Region did update correctly.



14.  Rename the region created in step 10 (since there was no way to set the name on creation of the region).

15.  Make sure the update check box for this new region is checked.

16.  Run the test again. Region did not update correctly.



So, as you can see, once I rename a region, it will no longer get updated.  Please let me know if you can reproduce this behavior.



Thanks,

I can still reproduce it every time so I don't know why you wouldn't be able to.



I am unable to send you the application being tested as I am testing an extension to the application and don't have the license to share the main application.  I will try it with something like Notepad.



Also, I noticed that in my Regions folder, there are two files for every region that isn't getting updated.  However, the one region that I have not renamed (so the one that is still being updated correctly) only has one file in the folder, the .PNG file. The others have a file by the same name as the .PNG file, but does not have an extension. Any insight into this?



For example, I have

region1.png

region1

region2.png

region2

region3.png



From this list, only region3 is getting updated.  Notice it is the only region that doesn't have a file without an extension.
