Script Extension property returning error in Python script

I'm having issues with a script extension I wrote in VBScript and am trying to use in a Python script. The extension works fine from within a VBScript test. I'm running TestComplete12.30.   def MyT...

I believe you need to use the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/language/python/getprop-method.html

 

It's similar to the JavaScript $get method.  The reason being is that what is being returned is being returned as a COM object...

 

Just verifying... NavItemVisible is a property, not a method in your Script Extension, correct?

 

If it is a property, your syntax should be

 

def MyTestFunction():

    MyResult = AEWeb.__getprop__("NavItemVisible", "Views", "Active Process Information")

 

See the section here https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/python.html about using parameterized properties.

Thanks, Robert. Exactly what I was looking for and suspected may exist. Clearly I was neither looking in the right place, nor performing the right searches, nor asking the right people. Somewhat surprisingly, I was able to call a method from the very same script extension without using the __callmethod__ function (but I'm not going to question it!).

 

You're a terrific resource. I appreciate the prompt and accurate feedback.

 

Appreciatively,
