Hi, Colin. Tnx for the reply.

The two things I would suggest you look into first ....

 

1. Are the controls being recognised correctly if object if you object spy them? ie. They has all the relevant property data, fields and methods present? It looks like the actual calendar is working OK. (It clicks the cell based on value) The error is on the DateEdit field? I'm guessing the calendar populates the value you select into that field? I'd suspect it's that that's the problem here ...

I believe TC recognizes everything in order. Once you manually click the drop down menu and pick a date, that date will populate the field you originally clicked. Like this:

My problem is that TC cannot reproduce that field population. It doesn't get that there is a calendar there once you click the little arrow on the right.

2. The "hint" before your error line suggests you have object recognition problems (with the edit field, not the calendar itself). As your date edit field is not being populated, it could be that whatever properties you used to map it are not staying consistent at run rime.

I forgot to include the hint text:

Failed to find the exact match for the test object:

NameMapping.Sys.Client.PropertiesForm.layoutControlProperties.tabControlP.tabPageDocAttr.layoutControlDocAttr.gridControlAttr.DateEdit

Hint: A similar object has been found – see the Picture tab. Consider updating the identification properties to use the similar object:

  Property Mapping Value Found Action

View identification properties in the Name Mapping editor

I'm not sure what this August 18th is, though...

Finally, as this is a date field, I reckon you'll have more work ahead here. Have you already parameterised it? As obviously, dates in December won't work in January. Record and playback, without converting at least parts of it to parameters, seldom works for calendars.

Parametrisation hasn't been mentioned in the training video so far. I'm not sure what you mean by this so I'm afraid I don't know what to answer to this question...
