When you rename a variable in the project / project suite / keyword test etc give you the option to amend the name of the variables where they are used in keyword tests just like you do when you rename a NameMapping item. ... View more

Please expand Extended Properties to include CSS Selector (if available). I use CSS Selectors 99% of the time to identify web controls for TC.  Sometimes overlaying web controls make it difficult to determine the exact control needed for inserting text, finding text, Child Count, etc.  Being able to inspect the properties desired and having the CSS information on the same screen would prevent guesswork with 100% accuracy in copying the Selector and promote speed in coding... at least for me. ...

Hi,   I regularly manage to have enough KWTs, scripts and project tabs open to make the tabs run into a second row.  I find though that at any given time there's only 2 or 3 I use intensively at a time.  For example, I have a test keywordtest for experimenting with new scripts.  Each time I open a script to debug or step through that tab gets pushed out until it ends up on the second row of tabs and I have to search for it again - repeatedly.  What would be awesome is if we could say, decide three tabs are used very intensively at the moment and are important to have them within easy reach, please always keep them leftmost in the tabs.  I know there is right click=>default docking in Workspace, which appens to move it to the top if it's already tabbed, but as soon as I decide some other tab is more important, default docking in Workspace kicks all the tabs all over the show again and I have to redo the docking.  Just a plain "Pin" and it always stays there and "Unpin" and it can go where it wants again would suffice.   Regards,   ...

Reference: SmartBear Support Case #00456278   Scenario: I would like to execute some test in a loop in the CBT environment (using scripting) against different platforms. Problem: Every loop iteration starts new test in CBT leaving the previous test running. Question: How to programmatically end running test in CBT? Please find below sample code been used. The problem is that every execution of the Browsers.RemoteItem(...) line of code starts a new test session in CBT. (This is fine and expected.) How can I gracefully end the current test before the loop iteration? I was thinking about something like Browsers.CurrentBrowser.End() but unfortunately only .Run() and .Navigate() methods are supported for remote browsers. //--- function RunScalableWebInCBT() {   var url = Project.Variables.pvURL;   var server = "http://hub.crossbrowsertesting.com:80/wd/hub";   var username = Project.Variables.userName;   var authkey = Project.Variables.authkey;   var remotes = [   {     browserName: 'safari',     version: '13',     platform: 'Mac OSX 10.15',     username: username,     password: authkey   },   {     browserName: 'chrome',     deviceName: 'Nexus 9',     username: username,     password: authkey   }];   for (var i = 0; i < remotes.length; i++)   {     Browsers.RemoteItem(server, JSON.stringify(remotes[i])).Run(url);     KeywordTests.Login.Run();     KeywordTests.Logout.Run();     // === I would like to end current test running in CBT at this point ===   } } //--- Thanks, /Alex =============================   ...

At the moment there is no way to use TC to grab a message from Chrome Developer Console. It will be good to have such an option/feature so we can grab the needed messages generated in the console.  ... View more

I thought this should just be a feature already and I posted asking for help to get it to work.   https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Log-Folder-Icon-Checkpoint-Over-Message-Javascript/m-p/200736#M37434   The log folders are real nice for cleaning up the logs but they only change Icon's if the Folder contains an Error or a Warning.    I want LogFolders to show a green if it contains a checkpoint.  A common sense order of importance Error > Warning > Checkpoint > Message.   Instead it's showing Error > Warning > Message.   I think it should even auto detect based on the Log item's priority that has been set.   Or just a method to hit  ie,  Log.CurrentStack(iconWarning, priorityHigh);     function TestScriptLog() { Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Error"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Error("Error in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Error"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder"); Log.Error("Error in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Warning"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Warning"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.Warning("Warning in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Checkpoint"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmNormal); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be a Checkpoint"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.Checkpoint("Checkpoint in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Informational"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder","",pmHighest); Log.PopLogFolder(); Log.AppendFolder("This folder Icon should be an Informational"); Log.Message("Informational in Folder"); Log.PopLogFolder(); }   ...

Changing tab order is "must have". But It's enabled only when mark was set for "Tools - Docking Allowed" But when it's set to "enabled", the tab can be dragged out from editor workspace, which often leads to unnecessary restoring default docking. Changing the tab order should be always enabled. When detaching it should be enabled only with "Docking Allowed" marked set active. ... View more
