Hi there,Plz, I need help for this one:50% of the times I run my testprojet, my JS utility function (a kind of StringBuilder) give this exception and projet cannot be run afterward. I alwas have to restart TC in order to rerun;Any hint on why? function BuildATextWithSeparator(sep, str1, str2, str3, str4){ if(str4 != null && str3 != null) return aqString.Quote(str1 + sep + str2 + sep + str3 + sep + str4);else if(str3 != null) return aqString.Quote(str1 + sep + str2 + sep + str3);else return aqString.Quote(str1 + sep + str2);}

Debug your variables, I guess of them is null or maybe with a bad type ;)Start by printing their value to the log Log.message(str3), if you can't find out what's happening go for debugging

Hi,Thanks for the reply but I already did that even before posting the thread...And as i mentionned, the error is all about TC 'aqString' not the variables(See the image attached)...The JS engine throw exception And after that , the whole project can not be rerun even after correcting or commenting out the line in trouble...Any hint, folks?Thank and advance...

this is getting very frustrating: here is another one from TC: 'Sys' is null or not an object Error location: Unit: "Stream_SanityTest_Reporting\Stream_SanityTest_Reporting\Script\UtilityScripts" Line: 11 Column: 3. From the function: function CloseProcessByName(procName) { var proc = Sys.FindChild("ProcessName", procName); // Obtains the process by its name while (proc.Exists) // Iterates through all the instances of the process until all of them are closed { proc.Close(); // close the process var isProcClosed = p.WaitProperty("Exists", false); // Waits until the process is closed if (!isProcClosed) // Checks whether the process has been closed successfully proc.Terminate(); // Terminates the process if not closed proc = Sys.FindChild("ProcessName", procName); // Obtains another instance of the notepad.exe process } } Any help out there, plz?

which version of TC are you using?Just ran you code, works like a charm...

this is getting very frustrating: here is another one from TC:

'Sys' is null or not an object

Error location:

Unit: "Stream_SanityTest_Reporting\Stream_SanityTest_Reporting\Script\UtilityScripts"

Line: 11 Column: 3.

From the function:

function CloseProcessByName(procName)

{

var proc = Sys.FindChild("ProcessName", procName); // Obtains the process by its name

while (proc.Exists)    // Iterates through all the instances of the process until all of them are closed

{

    proc.Close(); // close the process

    var isProcClosed = p.WaitProperty("Exists", false);   // Waits until the process is closed

    if (!isProcClosed)    // Checks whether the process has been closed successfully

      proc.Terminate(); // Terminates the process if not closed

    proc = Sys.FindChild("ProcessName", procName);       // Obtains another instance of the notepad.exe process

}

}

Any help out there, plz?

Hi Ted,

It looks like TestComplete cannot work with its own objects - Sys, aqSting. Please make sure that all extensions are installed in the File | Install Extensions dialog. Also, I would suggest reinstalling TestComplete.

Hi Tanya,

thanks for the followup but wait a minute...

How come 50% of the runs, TC works fine and there after SYS is wiped off and nothing else works. This is very very strange...

I always have to restart TC in order to rerun even a very quick fix...

And we have the extensions of TC all installed except Ext for HP Qual.Cent...

Hi Ted,

That's weird. I suggest that you contact the TestComplete Support team to investigate the behavior.

Also, you may check whether you see the same issue in TestComplete 10. If you haven't updated to the newest product version yet, you can try the trial version that can be requested here: http://smartbear.com/products/qa-tools/automated-testing-tools/

Hi Ted,

Did you overcome this this issue? I almost stuck in this issue and it randomly occurs when the below function is called repeatedly.

function _GetGridRowIndexContainsText (oGrid, ColIndex,szText)

{

var _szActual;

if(_IsStringContainsText(oGrid.ClrClassName,"GridDataBoundGrid"))

{

oGrid = oGrid.Model;

}

for(var i=1; i<=oGrid.RowCount;i++)

{

   _szActual = String(oGrid.Item(i, ColIndex).FormattedText.OleValue);

   if(_IsStringEqual(_szActual,aqString.Trim(szText),false))

   return i;

}

return -1;

}
