Search and repalce a specific operation on all KeywordTests
We are just using the default TestComplete automatic namemapping during recording and so far we have no problems with it. Our application now has a newer branch, with a support for HTML formmatting on the same spot where the normal textcontrol is - buttom line, it's a new object. I have edited namemapping mapped object to do conditional mode, to support both the old textcontrol and the HTML capable textcontrol and I am happy that it works.
However, the problem now is that most KeywordTests uses the operation SetText() and the newer object doesn't have SetText() but just set_text(). The old object supports both SetText() and set_text() - so it was a poor decision of not using set_text() - well we haven't known that till now.
Is there a way to do a search and replace functionality for all KeywordTests in the project to change all instances of SetText() to set_text() ?

Hi Ivan,
It looks like my suggestion won't work for this control. I suggest that you vote for it on this page - this way, implementing support for your control in one of the future updates will get a higher priority.
At the moment, using set_text seems to be the only option. So, you will have to modify the keyword test. I suggest that you do it outside TestComplete by changing the corresponding .tcKDTest file (TestComplete can search only though the Value column in the Keyword Editor, but you need to change the Operation column).

Hi Ivan,
The set_text method seems to be a custom method of the control while SetText is the one provided by TestComplete. You don't see the SetText action as the control may not have special support in TestComplete. However, it looks like this control is inherited from the one that is supported by the tool. So, you can try using the Object Mapping feature to make TestComplete treat the control as a supported control. In this case, SetText will be available for the controls, and there will be no need to modify the test.

It looks like a richtextbox and it is intended to be an HTML editor, more like a richtextbox but for HTML editing. It also wrapped inside (its parent object) an Infragistics Ultrapanel (if that matters)

Hi Daniel,
Right now, TestComplete can search through the Value column in keyword tests. As the Delay command is specified in the Operation column, TC won't find anything there. So, the only option is to modify the .tcKDTest file.

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group. I love good food, good books, good friends, and good fun.
