Syntax highlighting

Hi   I'm just wondering if there is a setting to enable language specific highlighting. I can see TestComplete hihglights some keywords. But I was hoping in my case to enable some Python syntax hig...

Hi Wamboo 

 

ok, most editors, at least, Atom, PyCharm and VSCode will highlight the function arguments and when those arguments are self and cls, they'll also highlight their use in the body of the function too as they're special to Python.

 

Another thing I wondered is say I have function that returns a path to an element. I then won't get autocomplete when I try to reference that variable the path was assigned to. For instance:

 

    def get_patient_banner(self):
        return Aliases.NavX.NavXHost.patient_name_banner.patient_name

If I type "." after patient_name it will give me options.

 

if I do

 

    def is_correct_patient_shown(self, name):
        patient_banner = self.get_patient_banner()
        patient_banner.

there will be no autocomplete options when using this variabe?

 

I also can't click a function call and be taken to that declaration?

 

I'm not complaining here, just asking

 

:smileyhappy:

    Wamboo Thanks

     

    I don't normally put a thanks, because other forums were like, lets keep unwanted noise down. Just click like/kudos. So not sure what people do here. But thanks anyway

      Hello,

      why this post is marked as resolved when it is not resolved.

      Python is a widely used language, especially in the testing field.

      Thank you for developing this.

        It's resolved because the question has been answered.  If you wish to see TestComplete do more, you can upvote the feature request for this (I believe one was made) or create a Feature REquest yourself.
