Iterating through items

[underqualified]

Hey everybody, me again

This time, my issue is that I have to iterate through a series of objects.

The objects have objectID '0', '1', '2', and so on, but the amount of objects is not fixed.

What I tried is creating a Project Variable, and go for

      while(Aliases.browser.pageCockpit.frameUserMenu.panelIterative.Exists)
      {
        Aliases.browser.pageCockpit.frameUserMenu.panelIterative.Click(15, 20);
        Project.Variables.panelIterativeIdentifier++;
      }

And set the ObjectID identifier in namemapping to panelIterativeIdentifier as well.

It just doesn't work, it keeps going for the object with the ObjectID of 0. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

What if you search for all those objects via the .FindAllChildren() method and then iterate through the returned array?

Hi,

@AlexKaras is right.

To be more specific I am sending You an online article about looping through arrays of objects.

Hello Alex,

thank you for your reply.

I've tried working with .FindAllChildren(), but due to the way the site is set up, this is causing major issues, detecting objects that I do not want to iterate through as children.

The possible solution I've described in my OP is the only way I could see this working, but it simply doesn't work.

Let's see the Advanced version of Object Spy results of the panel with all those objects in it please.

Hello,

These are my ideas for solving your problem:

1) Try using regexp using the .find() methods, with this method you can only get the items you want inside the table, or maybe an object

Doc: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/misc/regular-expressions.html

2) Write your own JavaScript code to select the item you want to have inside the data object. Run this script with TestComplete.

Doc: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/common-tasks/javascript.html

3) it's better to use "do while" instead of "while" in your situation.

4) Download all posts from findxxx() -> debug object -> use e.g. javascript .filter() on it and filter the items you only want to have.

Sample function:

var filteredData= findElements.filter(function(val) {
        return dataObj.indexOf(val) == -1
});
