    Hi,

     

    Initially it worked when running the test through TestExecute from command line. I decided to launch TestComplete.exe directly from the application bin directory. This also worked.

     

    The problem was running TestComplete from the desktop icon that was created during the installation process

Does the application or objects change in any way with their properties?

What I would do is compare the properties with regular "Run" with properties of the objects with "Run as" and see where the differences are.  That's probably what's going on.

Thanks for your reply

 

The noticeable difference is the application launched in RunAs mode has a property of IsOpen = false, where as the application opened in 'Run' mode is set to true

    It's not so much the application I was talking about... you mention that you have a problem finding an object... what properties change on that object that you're using in your mapping?

      Normal run mode:

      I have an object called frmPSBadgerOK

      Mapped name: Aliases.PSBadgerProject.frmPSBadgerOK)

      Name: VCLObject("frmPSBadgerOK")

       

      This is a pop-up box that is displayed when the application completes it's processing. I then click the OK button.

       

      With the 'RunAs' mode this changes to

      MappedName: <Blank>

      Name: Window("TfrmPSBadgerOK", "Confirm", 1)

       

      I try to record a script to click the OK button but it returns an empty function, so it wasn't even able to record the test action

       

      function test()

      {

       

      }

        What code language is your application under test written in?  

        Also... I wonder if it may be something where TestComplete is being run as an Administrator and the AUT is not and if that's causing issues.
