TestComplete unable to click buttons/links in Edge browser

Greetings,

I am currently evaluating TestComplete, and have used some script to iterate through all my browsers for a couple of tests I wrote. Chrome, FF, IE all work fine, but when it comes to Edge, it clicks the page, but it appears to click just above all of the controls. My version is 11.31.2420.7. I have done the following:

 

  • Made sure zoom is 100%
  • Made sure the Test app store checkbox is checked
  • Installation folder was correct
Everything seems to be fine, but it just will not click on the correct location. Please see attached.

    Hi,

     

    I had the pretty similar problem and it appeared that it was caused by the fact that the Favorites bar was displayed in Edge. While this was qualified as a problem in TestComplete with the plan to correct it in the nearest future, the suggested workaround (just turn off Favorites bar in Edge) works perfectly for me.

    Just in case, quote from Support's reply:

    "The reason for the issue is the Favorites bar displayed at the top of the page. The problem will go away if you disable it: go to More | Settings, click View favorites settings and disable the Show the favorites bar option."

     

    Hope, the above will be applicable to your case as well.

      Thanks Alex!

       

      That was the problem in my case as well. Edge works well with the favorites bar disabled.
