    Hi,

     

    Unless I am missing something...
    What if you uncheck Options|Engines|Name Mapping|Update Name Mapping during test run option (if it is checked) ?

    Does it help?

Right, so, as soon as you log an error, you kill all the browsers...  but it doesn't stop the test item from running... you told TestComplete to NOT stop the test item when an error is logged... so, it's going to continue from that error point.  Since there are no browser running then, it tries to go to the next step in the test which, I'm assuming, is trying to interact with an object... and can't find it.

 

What version of TestComplete are you running?  because one of the options on a test item, with regards to "Stop on Error" is to either not stop, stop the whole project, or stop the test item....  at least starting with some version of TC 11 or 12.  If you have "Stop on Error" set to Test Item, once you log the error, that item will stop and it will go on to the next one...

      Actually, it's on your test item screen.

       

       

      You may need to add the columns to the screen but they are there.  Right click on the column headers, select "Field Chooser" and then drag the "Stop on error" and "Stop on execution" columns into the view.  Then, set the values to "Test Item" to stop that single test item if an error happens... this will then tell TestComplete to go on to the next test item.  Your "OnLogError" handler will still fire and do what it needs to do.

        tried it with all the options now and it still stops the test with a window recognition error and blocks all further tests

         

        I just made a small test project with 3 tests 2 times i just set a variable for a passed tests and 1 test with a click on an object that doesnt exist

         

        It still fails ... doesnt stop the test item even though i have set it to stop on error and stop on window recognition error and blocks all further tests until i manually click on cancel on the find window
