Re: RE: TestComplete fails to perform consistently or reliably.

Hi, I am also observing the simmilar problem as mentioned in case of radiobutton2 /radiobutton3. 

we have TestComplete installed on a virtual machine on which more than one person can login at a time. So myself and another automaton person we both login to the same VM and use the TC. 

 

We have observed that the code which is developed by me works fine from my instance of VM but if I copy the project to another person's folder and open that project from his instance of VM on Testcomplete, I see the behavior as mentioned above that some of the controls shows different names panel1 /panel2/panel3. In that case I have to again identify the object and udpate the code. 

So please let us know, using the TC installed on a single VM from seperate 2 login instannces of VM is the reason behind such behavior ? 

  • Is your name mapping exactly the same for both projects?  I bet it's not.  When you're sharing or swapping projects, you are better off merging the name mapping so you can both use the same one and get each other's updates.  For 2-3 of us, we usually merge once a week or so, depending on how many changes are being made.

  • This new post was on a thread that was several years old.  I started a new thread for it.
