Can't play, record a test and highlight an object

[mathiasbsrt]

Hi everyone,

I automate UI tests for a web app with Chrome 80.

I can't play or record a test (i use keywordtest) because TestComplete seems to don't succeed to recognize objects. I try to start my test from the middle for example to see if it's not just the first object. But same problem.

The log says : "The window was destroyed during method execution."  and sometimes "Unable to find the object".

Then, i tried to use "drag the target to point to the object" but TestComplete highlight juste the entire webpage, not the object i point.

It's weird because I didn't change project properties and before this afternoon it works good.

Hope I'm clear.
If someone has an idea, it will be cool.

Thanks !

Mathias

check if patches for TC and chrome 80 installed, simply check in TC if any updates are available

[mathiasbsrt]

Thanks for your answer. my test complete is up to date

[BenoitB]

is it TC 14.3 or 14.4 ?

[mathiasbsrt]

It's TC 14.3

[BenoitB]

do you have the smartbear extension activated in Chrome ?

[mathiasbsrt]

Yes, it is. 14.0 version.

This morning i retried to run my tests and it worked. During 1 hour i could point object (with red highlight).

but now, same problem than yesterday. It's very weird because i changed no parameters. I just record, use drag the tharget to point eh object tool, and run.

It's very anoying 😞

hmm thats strange, are you under any GPO ?
if you try with another browser is it the same ?

[mathiasbsrt]

Yes, GPO of my company.

I tried to launch TestComplete as administrator but same problem.

Seems to be the same problem on firefox :When i try to point on an object, it higlight the web page but not my object. I point the object during 20seconds, and nothing happens except this red highlight on the entire web page

Hi @mathiasbsrt,

If the chrome extension is installed. You need to download the patch for chrome 80 from this link https://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/chrome-patches/.

Hope it helps.
