I have a standard WPF desktop application. I've built out a nearly complete test suite in TestComplete. On the same machine as TestComplete I have a copy of TestExecute and the tests run to completio...

Hi Team
I'm facing the same issue. even after having the system dependent file location right
there is no luck. It fails to locate the object even fif the object is right there on the screen. It works absolutely fine on the machine where i developed it

    Most probable scenario is one machine is faster / slower than the other.

     

    Your time settings OK with faster machine but slower matching it takes time to create on-screen objects so TC expires it's waiting time and fire "object can not be locate" error.

     

     Or else you may have defined machine depend parameters  (eg file path C:\temp\myfile.txt but one machine has file in C:\temp1234\myfile.txt )

Hi Team,

I'm facing the same issue as given here. Even after having the system dependent file location right, there is no luck. It fails to locate the object even if the object is right there on the screen.

It works absolutely fine on the machine where i developed it though, but fails to run on a different similar machine.

Any help here please?

 

Thank you!

    Did you try what NisHera and tristaanogre and I suggested in the earlier posts?  If not, try those things first.

      Yes I did. And in the process learned some more about timing, and the timing of the pop-up WPF windows in our application. I discovered if I do an ever so slight delay, just a few hundred milliseconds, and then a .Refresh(), I would find the missing object and on the script went. So thanks y'all.
