Resolving Unqualified Functions

Question

Environment: TC12.20, Win10, scripts in DelphiScript

I'm currently going through an effort to future-proof my scripts by removing calls to obsolete functionality noted by the documentation. All my the scripts I'm working on were previously written in TC8 or earlier versions. Now, I've discovered functions like FloatToStr, which is supported by both aqConvert and Utilities. The entire Utilities library has been marked as obsolete (as far as I can tell). The script is calling this function without qualifying which library to use.

Which library will be called, aqConvert or Utilities?

Thanks for your help,

Will

Yes, Utilities is obsolete now

For equivalents of the&nbsp;Utilities&nbsp;object’s properties and methods, see&nbsp;TestComplete helper objects.

You should be using these objects now

Here is aqConvert.FloatToStr

Ok, Utilities is no longer supported.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have numerous calls to BuiltIn.Delay.&nbsp; BuiltIn is also no longer supported.&nbsp; The documentation says to use aqUtils.Delay.&nbsp;If I simply remove the BuiltIn, will TestComplete automagically call Delay in aqUtils, or do I need to qualify it?

Qualify it.&nbsp; Search/Replace should work for you in most cases.
