Hi cunderw!

 

 

The crash occurs when these conditions are met:

 

- TestComplete clicks Load on a display load window

- TestComplete doesn't click Load and the test is stopped manually prior to this point. We then click Load.

- TestComplete doesn't click Load and the test is stopped manually prior to this point. We then click Cancel.

 

 

The application is written in Delphi code and is a desktop application. For anything more than that you'll have to be more specific ;)

 

Thanks

Jenny

Does your AUT have any kind of debug log you can parse? What type of object is 'Load' and how are you accessing it / clicking it. 

 

Also what exactly are you doing prior to clicking Load.

 

I might be way off, but my guess is that you're accessing something in the application in an unexpected way and it might be throwing a null error or something similar. I've seen this in some of my AUTs.
