- RickAlmeidaModeratorHello,
This can happen when the name mapping entry points to an HTML element that has it's height or width attribute set to zero. TestComplete cannot click on it, because it does not occupy any space on the screen. Web developers will often set the height of a <DIV> tag or other element to zero instead of setting it's visible property to false. Your name mapping may also be targeting the wrong element. You should use the object spy on the item that should be clicked, and verify that it's properties in the application match the ones that you defined in the name mapping properties for that object.
Thanks,
Rick

I received the same error about zero sized window, did a spy on the object (I could highlight the object fine) and height and width were in the properties with numbers, so they weren't blank. I ended up having 2 buttons of the same name and the first one was failing, so once I removed it, my button worked and the error was fixed on my end.

Hi Dhiraj,
Try troubleshooting the error by using the steps listed in the "Handling 'There was an attempt to perform an action at point...' Errors" article.
- djadhavRegular ContributorI have done the debugging. When I select the link using the Object Spy at the breakpoint, it shows the correct alias and immediately when I step through the command (Aliases.myLink.Click), it gives this error.

Hi Dhiraj,
Will adding the RefreshMappingInfo method before clicking an object help?
You can find more information about this method in this article.
- djadhavRegular ContributorDid not help... Same error.
In fact I tried another link on the same navigation menu and trying to click that gave me the same error as well - djadhavRegular ContributorThe same error is generated when I use Record and Playback option.
When I record, the script generated has a namemapping for the link.
During playback, while clicking the same link, the error gets generated. - osaid_ahmadContributor
Hi,
Probably the properties taken for mapping the object are same as of some other object in the object tree. You can manually check the properties of your mapped object (link) in "NameMapping" tab and can add "VisibleOnScreen" prop to differentiate between the two. You can also change the parent obj to more specific obj before clicking your link.
Also you can try remapping that object and choose the properties manually.
I hope adding VisibleOnScreen property would help in this case.
Regards
Osaid

In the runtime, highlight the object before performing click.
Use Call Sys.Highlightobject(obj)
This gives you an idea as to what object exactly testcomplete is trying to do.
