Login object cannot be found anymore

[simonaferrara]

Hi,

the web site that I'm testing uses Basic authentication for the login. 

Lately, I cannot access to the "Login" form anymore.

I don't understand the reason behind this. In my remember, I've not changed anything on the browser configuration, probably the browser is updated to a newer version (I mainly use Edge, and the current version is 92.0.902.55) but there is the issue also using other browsers.

When code worked, the Login window was a direct child of the "page" element, and I did the login with this code:

let page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");
if (page.WaitChild("Login", 3000).Exists)
{
let login = page.Login;
login.TextBox("UserName").Keys(shellUser);
login.TextBox("Password").Keys(shellPsw);
login.Button("OK").ClickButton();
}

so, using the Login object, like documented here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/controls/web/general/login/in...

Now, the Login object doesn't exist anymore.

Do you have an idea of the reason behind this and, eventually, how to solve it?

Thanks!

What version of TestComplete are you on?  Did you upgrade recently?

Hi @Marsha_R , I've got the following version: 

Version: 14.81.217.7 x64

I would contact Support directly with your question.  Here's the link:

I have the same problem with the Confirm Object also testing with Edge Browser (support ticket already opened). On 23rd of July everything worked fine and after the weekend Confirm Object couldn't be clicked anymore.  Maybe R & D needs to take a closer look at this.

I've opened a ticket for the Login issue and it is on-going, hoping a solution will be found because, for me, it blocks all tests for pages using basic authentication.

@DanNad Open your own support ticket at the link I posted above.  Multiple reports will help the research effort.

Hi,

>  Edge, [...] version is 92.0.902.55

> [TC] Version: 14.81.217.7 x64

This seems not to be documented, but considering the fact that Edge is now based on the Chromium engine, I wouldn't be wondered if proper Chrome patches are required to make it possible for TestComplete to control latest Edge versions.

As per https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/downloads/chrome-patches/, Chrome 92 is supported by TC 14.91 only.

Do you mind to upgrade TC (on one of your boxes) and check if it helps?

@AlexKaras 
I dont know about the Login (if it'll be fixed) because i contacted support only regarding the Confirm Object.
I can tell that for Edge (Chromium based) there will be a fix included in Testcomplete Version 14.92 for the Confirm Object
