Name mapping is slooooowwwww

[vthomeschoolmom]

Last week, the name mapping operation, adding objects to the name mapping has become painfully slow. Has anyone seen this before? I can't think of anything that has changed. The app is the same. TC has not changed...

Couple of things to check.

1)  How exensively are you using "Extended Find" in your mapping? Each time in a hierarchy extended find is used, that's an additional "search" that is being done by the engine.  This is not to say DON'T use the feature, just be aware that using it a lot may cause performance issues.

2) Are you using GIT as your source control?  There have been several reports here on the forums that GIT, when activated as a source control, can slow down editing of NameMapping and other such things.

1) Extended find: Never, unless I have to. Which I have not yet.

2) hmmmmm Culprit perhaps. Thanks!

Hey, @TanyaYatskovska .... there have been NUMEROUS reports here on the community that activating the GIT source control plugin in TC 12.60 is causing rather serious performance issues.  Do you know if there is anything that SmartBear staff know about that need to be done in order to make sure that this problem doesn't occur?

I am seeing info in docs about not using source control. Is there a way to disable source control entirely from within TestCompelete? I never use it. I use external tools. Thanks

If you go to Tools | Options | Source Control, if you don't have the GIT option enabled, then you're not using Source Control through TC... 

...however, it could be that the GIT command line is still processing file changes that are done in TestComplete.  This seems to be an issue with GIT and the fact that TC does a lot of file processing when doing NameMapping and executing test....  I'll wait and see what SmartBear says.

its git causing the problem

you can disable source control if you are planning to do lots of name mapping .

one more thing you can try by clearing unused name mapping
1. tools -options- name mapping
2. select collect usage statistics
3. open name mapping
4 right click on the mapped object explorer
5.selct show usage
6. in the top row you will see delete un used mapping
this can improve speed little bit for mapping but best solution is to disable source control and map.
once mapping is done..again enable the source control and continue working on it.

Hi all,

I've consulted with our TestComplete Support Team - they aren't aware of any GIT performance issue in TestComplete 12.6. If it's possible, I would suggest that you check if you see the same issues in TestComplete 14 (the latest product version).

Otherwise, please submit a support ticket so that our Customer Care Team could investigate this behavior. You can submit a support ticket here:

@TanyaYatskovska  Hi tanya, I have checked in 14.00 and it is still super slow.
