TestComplete: enable/disable Test items list via COM Object

Hi Silvio,

I am far not sure if it is possible to modify state of test items via TestComplete COM if test project is opened in TestComplete.

What I did, was to enable all/required test items via direct modification of the project file with the help of standalone .js script and then open project in TestComplete.

Note 1: Provided code sample worked in TC 12.

Note 2: Obviously, the same code might not work in subsequent versions of TC.

  var oXml = GetDefaultXMLObj();
  var xmlDoc = loadXML(oXml, projectFile);

//WScript.Echo("Test Items : '" + testItems + "'");
  if ("" == testItems)
  {
    testItemXPath = "//*/testItems/children//testItem";
    testItems = xmlDoc.selectNodes(testItemXPath);

    for (testItemIdx = 0; testItemIdx < testItems.length; testItemIdx++)
    {
      element = testItems[testItemIdx];

      if (null != element)
      {
        if ("False" == element.getAttribute("enabled"))
        {
          element.setAttribute("enabled", "True");
//          WScript.Echo("'" + element.getAttribute("name") + "' test item was enabled");
        }
      }
    }
    WScript.Echo("All test items for the project were enabled");
  }
  else
  {
    testItems = testItems.split('~');
    for (testItemIdx in testItems)
    {
      testItem = testItems[testItemIdx];
//WScript.Echo(testItem);
      testItemXPath = "//*/testItems/children//testItem[@name='" + testItem + "']";
      element = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode(testItemXPath);

      if (null != element)
      {
        if ("False" == element.getAttribute("enabled"))
        {
          element.setAttribute("enabled", "True");
          WScript.Echo("'" + testItem + "' test item was enabled");
        }
      }
      else
        WScript.Echo("'" + testItem + "' test item was not found");
    }
  }
  xmlDoc.save(projectFile);
