Unable to create table checkpoint from Web page table
I tried looking around here for a while before posting this, but I'm at a loss.
I am trying to create a table checkpoint for an HTML table on a webpage using TestComplete 12.50. The table is generated with AngularJS, but outputted table is just a simple HTML table. The problem I'm having though is I keep receiving the error message "Unable to retrieve table data for the checkpoint". Possible causes list:
1. The select object is not supported by table checkpoints
2. The selected object is not a tabular control
Under the help documentation there is a link for adding a script extension for HTML table checkpoints, which I'd really like to try and use, but the link on the web page goes to a 404.
Does TestComplete support HTML table checkpoints naively now without the extension? Where can I get an updated script extension if I need one?
I am able to create object property checkpoints, but I'd really like to avoid having to maintain hundreds of cell checkpoints, when I feel like I should be able to store a table checkpoint.
Table checkpoints, based upon the documentation that I'm seeing, are only supported for Desktop applications (go to the list of supported controls https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/checkpoints/tables/supported-controls-and-required-plug-ins.html). For web tables, you'll have to do some other work for that.
The link for the extension is, indeed, broken... TanyaYatskovska... do you know if there's another location for that script extension? It does seem like it would meet the need.
Basically, though, you could manually do what is described.
1) Write code to grab the table object and save the baseline of the object as an XML Checkpoint in your project
2) Use the XML Checkpoint to compare the contents of the "live" table with the stored XML copy.
