Search object using Name attribute

[sean_ng]

I am trying to search for object using the Name attirbute but it does not seems to work, below is my code :

firstly i search for object using contentText then i obtain the Name which is successful and the result is :

PropValue = Cell(1, 2) then when i use PropValue to search for contentText, it does not work, please help.

          var page = Sys.Browser("Chrome").Page("*");
          var link = page.NativeWebObject.Find("contentText","ABC","td");
          link.Click();         
          var PropValue = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(link, "Name");
          Log.Message(PropValue);
                   
          var GetValue2 = page.NativeWebObject.Find("Name",PropValue,"td"); 
          var intPass = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(GetValue2, "contentText"); // the test fail here, no object return
          Log.Message(intPass);

Are you sure that the object you want is actually available at that time?

Try this part of your code again except use the known values instead of the variables or properties.  See if you can get it to come up that way first.

var GetValue2 = page.NativeWebObject.Find("Name",PropValue,"td"); 
          var intPass = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(GetValue2, "contentText"); // the test fail here, no object return
          Log.Message(intPass);

hi Marsha_R,

thanks for your reply.

yes, the object is available at that time.

it is actually a cell from a table and i am trying to get the value from that particuler cell in the table.

PropValue = Cell(1, 2)

var GetValue2 = page.NativeWebObject.Find("Name","Cell (1,0)","td"); 
var intPass = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(GetValue2, "contentText");

Log.Message(intPass);

Error message that i encounter : The object "item" does not exist.

Try just these lines of code but put all the actual values in the right hand side, then post a screenshot of the results please.  There's something missing and we need to see exactly what's happening.

var intPass = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(GetValue2, "contentText");

Log.Message(intPass);

Hi Marsha_R,

Thank you for your reply.

I don't know why i still can't search object using Name attibute

Instead of using Name i now change to ObjectIdentifier

var GetValue2 = page.NativeWebObject.Find("ObjectIdentifier",intValue,"td");
var intPass = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(GetValue2, "contentText");
Log.Message(intPass);

the code above work well without any problem for me.

Hi,

> can't search object using Name attibute

Are you talking about object's Name property displayed in the Object Browser or about Name attribute in the HTML markup?

In the former case, the search by the Name property is not recommended in TestComplete. See Remarks section of the Find Method help topic for more details.

In the latter case, the search for the object by its markup attribute was added to the TestComplete 12.60 Beta (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/TestComplete-Beta-Program-Try-AI...).
