TestComplete sees same window with different properties on different runs

Sometimes, when running a test on an application, TestComplete sees the main window as ClassName: TMainView / ObjectIdentifier: MainView (how it was originally mapped).  Other times, TC sees the same...

    OK... Now I understand.

    You have the same object mapped twice (In your project, you go to NameMapping and those two items are there).

    Basically this: Delete one of those mappings.  The Mapping is how TestComplete identifies an object.  So, it appears that, somehow, the same object has been mapped twice.

     

    My guess is that the second one (The one maped as WndClass: TMainView) is going to be the most accurate.  I'd delete the first one and see if that corrects your issue.

    I actually don't have the second one mapped; I mapped it a few times when the first one broke just to see what was happening, but then I deleted it.  Next time it happens I will try remapping everything to the second one and delete the first and see what happens.

tristaanogre, I apologize, but I'm still not sure what you are saying.  Can you clarify a bit more?  I will also try to be more clear with what I am experiencing.

 

I am using application ProcessName (Alias) and it has a MainView window.  NameMapping will either map the MainView window as one of the following two mappings and associated properties:

 

  1. ProcessName.MainView
    1. ClassName: TMainView
    2. ObjectIdentifier
  2. ProcessName.wndMainView
    1. WndClass: TMainView

 

Any given run will see one or the other mapping; and if it doesn't see the one that I am telling it to use (the first one in the above list), it fails.  I am not changing the test, nor am I changing the application.  I can literally run it and it will see one namemapping, and then click run again and it sees the other namemapping.
