Same object has different identities, so "the target object does not exist" error occurs.

Hi, I use property checkpoint on an alert. I get the target object does not exist error. Because the parent object was not found. When I check parent object's identities, with object Spy, I realize...

    I guess I have found a way. I have changed the location of the object in name mapping and aliases section. I transport the object from problematic parent to reliable parent. When I run the test, it passes.

    But I still don't understand why alert window's identities changed project to project.

Hi,

Thank you or your reply.

But this time I get "Ambigious recognition of the tested object" warning. It takes time to find the alert. 

I keep the alert window manually to see the warning.The alert window is invisible after a while (program's behaviour). So if I do not keep the alert manually, the alert will disappear and I will get an error again.

    Nice job finding a stable parent object using the extended find! Sometimes machines are quirky and this is the best solution if we can't find a unique static path all the way down to the child object!
