Every time I click on yes button to close a dialog I get 'Window was destroyed during method execution'The error message is:The window with the handle 0x00000000 does not exist.Most likely, this error occurred because the tested object (window or control) or its parent object was deleted or recreated during the method call or before it. For instance, the window could be destroyed or recreated after you stored the object reference to a variable and before you called the object method through this variable.If the object is recreated, then to avoid the error, check the object's Exists property before calling the method, and if the object does not exist, obtain a reference to the new object.Please suggest me a generic solution to resolve this error.

Hi Ramesh,The reason is incompatibility between Chrome 32 and TestComplete 9.31.Possible solution is to either downdrade Chrome to the version 30 supported by TC 9.31 (don't forget to disable Chrome's autoupdate by renaming the <programFiles>\Google\Update folder before starting Chrome for the first time ! ) or to upgrade to TC 10 and install the corresponding patch from the http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/chrome-patches/ page.

Hi Rishi, We need to know more about the issue: 1. What button are you clicking? 2. Do you get the error only when executing your test in TestComplete? 3. What TestComplete version are you using?

I had also faced same issue several time, and TestObj.Refresh() resolved that problem. Add Refresh() call before performing any action on object.

When I am trying to open an URL in chrome usingSys.Browser("chrome").ToUrl("www.google.com")I am getting the following JScript runtime error"Cannot find the window with handle 0"Environment:Win7TC 9.31Chrome 32.0Can anyone help me in resolving this issue.ThanksRamesh

Thank you Alexei Karas.

I uninstalled and installed Chrome and the issue resolved. I am still on Chrome 32. Now I dont find the issue which I have mentioned above.

But now, I am facing another issue when using Keys.

Example:: Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("*").Keys("ramesh");

Error::

The window with the handle 0x00000000 does not exist.

Most likely, this error occurred because the tested object (window or control) or its parent object was deleted or recreated during the method call or before it. For instance, the window could be destroyed or recreated after you stored the object reference to a variable and before you called the object method through this variable.

If the object is recreated, then to avoid the error, check the object's Exists property before calling the method, and if the object does not exist, obtain a reference to the new object.

Can you please help me out in resolving this issue.

Thank you

Hi,

I'm not sure what are you waiting for...

TC 9.31 is not compatible with Chrome 32.

TC 10 can work with Chrome 32 after applying a patch from the link mentioned above.

Thanks Alexei Karas. Will install Test Complete 10 on my machine. Does TestComplete 9.31 license work for version 10? Or do we need to purchase a separate License for Test Complete 10?

Hi Ramesh,

The licenses are different, but both versions can be installed on the same machine.

If you had an active maintenence subscription, your TC9 license might have been upgraded to version 10. The best option is to check this on your customer portal (https://my.smartbear.com/).

Hi,

I also keep getting this same error for several of my web page objects. But I noticed a pattern. On my web page there list of items and each item is a DIV. Each DIV contains few labels, links, icons etc. I have my VBScript function search for the particular DIV (item from the list). When trying to click a link inside that DIV, I get this error "The window with the handle 0x00000000 does not exist." it works sometimes but most of the times it thros this error. I tried to check if the object exists and it does exist. I also tried calling the Refesh method and still doesnt work. What could be the issue? Please help!!

Here is the full error message. And yes it works when I test manually.

The window with the handle 0x00000000 does not exist.

Most likely, this error occurred because the tested object (window or control) or its parent object was deleted or recreated during the method call or before it. For instance, the window could be destroyed or recreated after you stored the object reference to a variable and before you called the object method through this variable.

If the object is recreated, then to avoid the error, check the object's Exists property before calling the method, and if the object does not exist, obtain a reference to the new object.
