Is a testComplete chronium integration planned for next versions ?

[Felixg]

Hi everyone,

We develop automated tests in TestComplete for a Web application. We are using TestComplete 14.30.

Our scripts take the browser name as input parameter (we pass this parameter to the Sys.Browser() object), then we configure 4 test items, one per browser in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, and we run our test on 4 web browsers with exactly the same script !

Now we have a problem since Microsoft released his new Edge based on Chromium. of course, we read these documentations About Support for Chromium Embedded Framework , Preparing CEF-Based Applications for Testing , AccessToChromiumContent Property (the example given in that 3rd link does not work for us), but it suggests to use TestedApps instead of Sys.Browser() object, which is completely a different approach, and so we have to develop some specific code specificaly for Edge.

Since a Smartbear TestComplete integration pluggin is available on Chrome, and allows us to interact with a Web application in the Chrome browser with Sys.Browser() object, such a plugin is planned to be developped ? Or another integration way ?

We need to know if we have to develop that specific code, or if we have just to wait and disable our test items running on Edge just a moment, waiting for that integration.

Thanks for reading, regards,

Felix

That's a question for Support.  Here's the direct link:

Hi,

I hope that https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Edge-v80-is-not-being-recognized-when... thread will help you.

Thanks @Marsha_R , I have just contacted support team. I will keep this topic opened and share the answer when I'll got it.

Thank you @AlexKaras , I followed the link you gave, unfortunately one answer is the solution of the third link I gave in my first message, and it does not work for us, and even if it works, we have to do specific development, which is our issue. And another answer is to reinstall an earlier version of Windows 10 to get the previous version of Edge, which not our aim.

@Felixg :

I bet that SmartBear will solve this case in the nearest future.

For now I think that you'll have to create some code specifically for the case with Edge.

We are all users here, so for the official reply as for the estimates I would recommend to contact Support as it was suggested by Marsha.

Its time to improve your TC code delivery by applying virtual abstract in OOP style.

Make call of abstract function that are implemented by instanciation of the corresponding code so with same high level code you can manage web or non-web apps.

Thank you so much for helping here everybody!

@Felixg I see that you did open a case with Support. Let's see what they suggest. It would be great if you could post the results of the investigation here

[Felixg]

Hi @sonya_m , of course, as I said in my first answer to Marsha_R , it is my intention. At the moment, the support team has just answer me they are consulting the development team and they keep me informed.

I will keep this topic opened and share the answer when I'll got it

Hi everyone,

So I have just got an answer from the support team, and this answer is : Edge based on Chromium won't be supported in TestComplete 14.40. Probably, it'll be supported in the next version of the tool, but there are no exact plans or ETA.

Thanks eeryone to have followed and replied to my topic !

Regards,

Felix
