    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

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.

        The code language is JavaScript

         

        I read all the SmartBear stuff about environment settings for using the RunAs mode and these are all correct
