Deleting added TestedApps shows strange behaviour in python

Hi,   I've just noticed something odd.   Our test application is adding a list of TestedApps for use and to be sure no apps are added twice, we purge all existing TestedApps first. This works whe...

Because you can add them once manually and never have to do it again and never have it interfere with a test.

Yes, I know.

I can work around it.

I'm curious about the reason for Python not being able to delete more than half of the TestedApps in one go, though.

    Hi stein_oddvar_ra - 

     

    Is the count in the python script returning the full number of applications?

      Hi, ebarbera 

       

      Yes it does. I use the TestedApps.Count value to set the number of times to iterate. The code is simple:

       

      def del_applications():
        # Deletes all applications from the TestedApps
        numApps = TestedApps.Count
        Log.Message(f"Deleting {numApps} apps from TestedApps.")
        for i in range(numApps):
          if not TestedApps.Delete(i):
          Log.Warning(f"Could not delete app index {i} from TestedApps")

      It logs the correct number of apps, but deletes only the first half of them. The rest fails.

      The bug is present in TestComplete 15.10.445.7
