Custom Web Objects Recognition (TC10 + Angular)

Hi.   I have been using TCs for couple of years from TC6 to TC9. I am now trying to understand if TC10 might help us to perform web testing over angular MVVM applications...   I have been looking...

I know about another trick, but I did not find any documentation on it, so use it at your own risk :smileywink:

There is "tcWebTestingRules.xml" configuration file in the "TestComplete 10\Bin\Extensions" folder.

To add "ng-reference" to the list of properties that can be used when mapping Panel (div) objects, you should find the following comment

<!-- FORM SPECIFIC -->

and right before it insert the following code:

	<!-- PANEL SPECIFIC -->
		<MapOnAnyLevelRule>
			<Recognition>
				<True Name="canBeMappedOnAnyLevel" />
				<Eq Name="ObjectType" Value="Panel" />
			</Recognition>

			<Optional>ng-reference</Optional>
		</MapOnAnyLevelRule>

Then restart TestComplete, and after that auto mapping of Panels should use the "ng-reference" attribute as well.

Don't forget to backup the original file :smileyhappy:

Hey @dganov.

 

I really wonder how you found out this trick, anyway, it does work :). Thanks.

Even though it become easier to map object automatically, it uses a property (ng-reference) that is not accessible through Object Spy... 

 

Still looking for a solution to add Extended Property to Object Browser !
