TestComplete with PowerBuilder problem
Hi All,
I'm rather new to TestComplete personally, but am picking up a project left by my predecessor to test a PowerBuilder project. For the most part things are going ok, but I've hit a couple of problems....
First Problem: Our AUT has a number of forms in a tabular format. Using "FindAllChildren", I can see something along the lines of
sys.process().client().client().client(field1_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1,2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2,2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3,2)
And so on... The form also has buttons to add / delete rows to / from the table. However, when I click "Add", a new row appears in the app, but doing a "FindAllChildren" again at that point produces the same list of children as BEFORE I had clicked add - seemingly the controls for the new row are not recognised by TC, despite being on screen?
Second Problem: The list of controls as pasted above isn't quite accurate. What we ACTUALLY get when we go into the form is more like:
sys.process().client().client().client(field1_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3_t)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1)
sys.process().client().client().edit(field2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1,2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3,2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1,3)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2,2)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3,3)
sys.process().client().client().client(field1,4)
sys.process().client().client().client(field2,3)
sys.process().client().client().client(field3,4)
Where the first row, "field2" is the field that the cursor is active in when entering the form - thus "throwing out of line" the indexing for the remaining rows.
If anyone can shed any light on these issues (particularly the first!) we'd be very grateful!
Thanks,
Steve
