Request: Show object in name map using object spy

The name mapping in TC is not one of my favourite areas I must admit. Although I do like the use of Aliases to reduce the complexity of the object references. Anyway. Can I request an additiona...

    Hi Colin,

     


    As a rule, from the Object Spy, you can get access to the Name Mapping editor by using the approach suggested by Joe, or by switching to the Object Browser and navigating to Name Mapping from it.


     


    As you don't have the Mapped Name property filled in, it means that TestComplete couldn't identify that this object had been mapped. As a result, the product cannot show it in the Name Mapping editor. I suggest that you try troubleshooting to know why TestComplete doesn't identify the object as the mapped one. Perhaps, some properties of this object or its parent were changed.

Hi Joel,

 


Judging by your screenshot, TestComplete fails to find the Aliases.Browser.pag_Booking.Panel(5) object as the mapped one. Check how the panel is mapped in the Name Mapping editor. Perhaps, you use the Index property to map the panel, but its index was changed.

Hi,

 

I am experiencing the same issue on Test Complete 11.31.2420.7

 

I am sharing a project with one other person:

 

The person I am sharing with is able to map application forms that I cannot, when he uses the "Map Object from Screen" option, he sees the usual "Map Object" dialogue prompt


When he clicks ok he sees the dialogue prompt to "Map the window ("someObject") object with two options:
-> "Map the object as ..."
or

-> "Choose name and properties manually"

When I try the same I do not see the dialogue prompt to "Map the window ("someObject") " and control is returned back to the main testcomplete application window

 

This implies it's a user based setting/issue, rather than a mapping issue itself?

 

We are using the same project and same application, trying to map the same form

 

Both our properties in the TCNet file are set as
<Prp name="network mode answer" type="B" value="1"/>
    <Prp name="network mode value" type="B" value="0"/>

 

We also see a project element to this problem - the recent backup of our current project will work for me and allow me to map - this implies I have a user and a project problem potentially in that case?
