SWbemLocator Not Found

Hello everyone,



I was using TestComplete 8.5 and the autocomplete feature in the IDE stopped working and gave the error message: Not Found SWbemLocator wmiCode.vbs Line 440 Column: 2. Plug-in WMI Object 1.1 by AutomatedQA Corp. Location C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\Bin\extensions\ScriptExtensions\AQAScriptExtensions.tcx.



I saw that 8.6 was avaliable so I upgraded and the problem still persisted. Then I ran Repair from the 8.6 installer, still the same problem. Then I copied the ScriptExtensions\ folder from a coworker who just installed 8.6 and the problem still persisted.



I've also tried enabling and disabling the WMI script extension from the File > Install Script Extensions... menu without success. 



Has anyone else had this problem or have any idea how to fix?



Thanks,



Angelo

    Hi Angelo, 



    I have never run into this problem, but I would suggest uninstalling and reinstaling Test Complete. Maybe the repair doesn't fix all problems. This might help. 



    cheers,

    That was my next move :-)



    I'll give that a try and let everyone know how it works.

    Nope, same problem.



    A little more detail about the problem: The error message only displays the first time I try to autocomplete inside of a function call (like trying to get autocomplete to finish ba to bar in  foo( ba ) ). Additionally, the error message only appears once.



    When trying to autocomplete a function call (like foo in fo ), an old outdated list of functions appears, like the autocomplete has not looked up the latest set of functions.

    Huh. It looks like I had a JScript syntax error on one of the other files in the project. Onces I fixed that, everything just worked, no more error.
