Can't have objects methods

Hello!
I have the following trouble.
In Unit 1 I create a class and define its properties and methods.

function MyClass() 
{
  this.myProperty;
}

FileClass.prototype.myMethod = function(){
  \\code
  return result;
}

I have written export.

module.exports.MyClass = MyClass; 

Now I want to use it in Unit 2.
I connect import.

var MyClassUnit = require("Unit1");

I create an object and use it.

myObject = new MyClassUnit.MyClass();
// do something
myObject.myMethod();
// it works

But there is one question: when I write the name of the object and put a dot after it TestComplete (IDE) does not offer me the available methods and attributes, I have to write with my hands, which is inconvenient when there are a lot of methods to constantly look at a Unit1.


How can I solve this problem?

You can't.  The code completion of TestComplete does not bring over methods and properties of objects declared in another unit using the module.exports method.

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.

Thank you!

But maybe is there some other way to make what I want?

I'm not sure what you're asking... another way to do what?  Get a Code Completion to popup on objects instantiated on classes declared in another unit?  Not really, no.
