More Efficient Searches
Again, I'm new to TestComplete, so apologies in advance if this question is redundant. We are developing in Angular 2.0 with a lot of dynamic content. We are trying to search across a set of resul...

Basically, any testable object in TestComplete has the FindChild and FindAllChildren methods on it. So, if you can get to a parent object that you are looking to investigate it and you want to retrieve all the child objects of that parent that match a certain set of properties, you can use "FindAllChildren". If you want to find a specific one, use FindChild. Step one is getting to the parent object and you can do that any number of ways. But the FindChild/FindAllChildren might be your better solution here.
Trying to take a step by step process implementing this, so it looks a little different
Here my code for this so far:
//results card
cardObject = page.Page.FindChildByXPath( '*//sts-task-search-results-list');
function findMyText(cardObject, numPages, schTextColumn, schText, isOffset, offsetColumn, txtSchOffset)
{
var tableContent, textFound;
while(!textFound)
{
tableContent = cardObject.FindAllChildren('contentText', schText);
if (tableContent.Exists)
{
textFound = true;
return tableContent;
}
}
}
Any reason why I would be getting the following error?
Yup... cardObject is either null or the object returned does not support the FindAllChildren method (which, if it's a recognized object in TC, it should).
Drop a breakpoint on your assignment within the while loop and see what the value of cardObject is.
Got it...used the Object Spy to find the container object
