Chrome does not react on TestComplete 12

Hi all, 

 

This morning i upgraded to TestComplete 12.  After that,my scripts that worked fine on TC11 don't react to Chrome anymore.

I can see in the log that 'The browser is already running' (which is not true by the way) and then he tries to navigate to a page, but never reaches it as Chrome never (visible or invisible) opens.

 

Any one with the same problem?

 

Basically this is the code: 

 

BrowserItems = CreateVariantArray(0, 2)
Set BrowserItems(0) = Browsers.Item("iexplore")
Set BrowserItems(1) = Browsers.Item("chrome")
Set BrowserItems(2) = Browsers.Item("firefox")
browserindex = VarArrayLowBound(BrowserItems, 1)
While browserIndex <= VarArrayHighBound(BrowserItems, 1)
Call BrowserItems(browserIndex).Run
'Opens the specified URL in a running instance of the specified browser.
Call Browsers.CurrentBrowser.Navigate(Project.variables.TestURL&"/dashboard")
log.message("browsed to Dashboard")
Call Sys.Browser.Page(Project.variables.TestURL&"/dashboard").wait
'Wait till page is existing
Do
aqutils.Delay(100)
Loop until Sys.Browser.Page(Project.variables.TestURL&"/dashboard").Exists
log.message("dashboard loaded")

 

' do stuff

 

Call Aliases.browser.BrowserWindow.Close(5000)

    Hi,

     

    Check that Chrome is not set up to leave its process running when closed (Settings | Advanced Settings | System | Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed).

    Does this help ?

      Hi Alex, 

       

      Thanks for your response.

      Unfortunately, this is not the solution to the problem :-(

       

      Meanwhile i tried different things upto a complete reinstall of TC and Chrome on my machine (including a reboot after deletion). It won't help.

       

      Luckily, I have TC11 still on my PC. I can continue to work, as TC11 does my scripts without hesitation (also the Chrome browser parts).

       

      I logged an incident with the helpdesk. I'm intrigued why this is not working for TC12.... and wondered whether there are no fellow testers having the same problem....

        I did not have the problem you mention with Chrome, but I didn't try TestComplete 12 with Chrome. I did run into a problem with TestComplete 12 and IE though, and like you I logged a support issue and have stayed with TestComplete 11 for now. I mention this since you were asking for other user experiences and I am on the forum looking for other people's experience with TestComplete 12. I'm interested in moving to TestComplete 12 but so far i'm getting the feeling I should expect to wait for the next minor update to fix some problems.
