Testcomplete is slow to performs basics operations.
Hi everyone !
I have an annoying issue with TC since the last update. (15.47.4.7 x64).
Basics operations like Click(), obj.Text = "some string" etc... take a long time to execute. About 3 to 4 seconds.
For example I have a very simple login page.
it's just a td/tr with some elements (two input, one button)
Searching accross this dom, is really fast for TC. Nearly instantaneous.
this is the code (javascript) :
in this code almost all lines are executing fast except : input1.Text = login, input2.Text = password and button.Click().
Before the update (I don't remember the version, maybe 15.41) this code took less than a second to execute, now it take 8 seconds in the best case.
function login(login = Project.Variables.login, password = Project.Variables.password){
var page = Aliases.browser.pageLogin;
var input1 = page.Find("ObjectIdentifier", "input_1", 7, false);
var input2 = page.Find("ObjectIdentifier", "input_2", 7, false);
var button = page.Find("ObjectType","SubmitButton", 7, false);
if(input1.Exists){
input1.Text = login;
}else{
Log.Error("input1 not found");
return false;
}
if(input2.Exists){
input2.Text = password;
}else{
Log.Error("input2 not found");
return false;
}
if(button.Exists){
button.Click();
Log.Message("Connection ok");
return true;
}else{
Log.Error("button not found");
return false;
}
}
I don't understand why the operations is so long. Thx.
Hi,
after some investigations, I finally found the problem and resolved it. It was the NameMapping.
To optimize the search of objects in our app, we created a custom NameMapping and organized the Aliases in a hierarchical way. So in script, we can do this :var obj = Aliases.browser.app.containerOne.subContainerTwo;and use this object as a starting point for the Find and FindAll method. This, indeed, speed up the script wihout increasing the number of searching level. But it has a huge impact on some operations of TC and in the object browser too.
To resolve this, I deleted all the objects in the NameMapping, and replace it with a custom method "getContainer" using a Map() inside. Basically, it do the same thing for our project.
Instead of Aliases, now we have : var obj = getContainer(string); and the method return an object by its xpath.
