Table data missing after closing TestComplete
Hi all, I'm using Table Checkpoint to verify the data and I found that the data of certain tables are missing after I closed TestComplete. There are no issue for other tables but the affected are...

Hi,
My guess based on your description and screenshot provided is that table data might contain some characters that confuse TestComplete.
Can you try to check this somehow?
Anyway I would recommend to create a Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form.
Hi AlexKaras
This is the finding where I open the tc.Tbl file using Notepad++.
Line12 is the original line, Line13 and 14 are the line that I added to do the comparison.
It seems like the [GS] is the character that confuse TC which interpret as ?
From here, the [GS] is mean by Group Separator in Notepad++.
Thanks.
Hi,
Are those  symbols added by TestComplete itself or by some other tool/editor?
Considering that table data are stored in an XML file it might be that these symbols break correct xml file structure and cause TestComplete to interpret data in an incorrect way.
Hi AlexKaras ,
Those  symbols are added by the TestComplete itself. Those symbols are there as I directly open the tc.Tbl files using Notepad++ after I saved the changes of the table in TestComplete. Same result if I'm using Notepad to open the tc.Tbl file.

Hm-m-m, interesting...
What if you delete them in Notepad++, save file (backup first! 😉 ) and try to open it in TestComplete. If table is opened fine in TestComplete (you will see expected table data) you may try to execute your test(s) to check if the problem appears again. Do you think this is something that is worth trying?
BTW, don't you (occasionally) have enabled setting to update table with actual data? In this case it might be that those symbols are present in the database data (but just are not displayed on screen), so TestComplete saves them into table and then fails to open the table because those data corrupt expected internal file structure.
