Unable to automate any test

Hi all

We initially had desktop license and we have now acquired web license too.

I was trying to automate test in web browser (IE, Firefox & Chrome) however the objectspy fail to read anything on browser screen. Tabs, menu items, text etc nothing can be read. I was wondering if there is any object mapping required in project properties or anything else which will help to enbale all onscreen items ?

 

Thanks

    Does your TestComplete patch is at same level than your firefox version ?

    Launch the TestComplete -> Help -> Check for updates to be sure.

     

    Normally, Chrome/Firefox need patches of Testcomplete and IE no need.

    So currently, after preparing the browser, it works on Chrome.

    Not in Firefox (and you have made all of the preparing steps even additionnal ones?)

    And in IE it should works, does it ?

      Did you go across the steps of 'Preparing web browsers' ?

      Yes I did but only for one of the browser(firefox). Did'nt bother to do it for other browsers since it didnt work for one. But then I tried configuring Chrome and it worked!

      I'll have to further investigate why it didn't work for Firefox though but atleast I know its the issue with configuration of browser.

        ahah.. this is used in tester and dev world,and it means Read The **bleep**ing Manual.. because in software, end-user always ask questions and send problems before even read a single line of the documentation 😁
