Name Mapping in Android

[StephenWoolhead]

Hi all, newbie here, just getting to grips with test complete and I can't seem to get name mapping to work.

I'm connected to a physical device, click Map object from screen, I can pick an item from the appium tree and ist shows me something like

Mobile.Device().FindElementByXPath("//ancestor::*[*[@text=\"Device ID\"]]")

I click OK and nothing happens?

Any advice?

Thanks

Stephen.

Hi, 

Did the object you mapped get added to the name mapping repository? It would sit under mapped objects section. Or is that where the object is not appearing?

Just not appearing, even when I try and map things directly in the 'Name Mapping' sections

Interesting, would you mind filling out a support ticket so we can get to the bottom of this!

@StephenWoolhead 

for the appium based mobile support, namemapping hasnt been implemented yet.

this means if you record your tests, you'll see that the objects are just geting called as Mobile.Device.FindElement(X) instead of something like Aliases.device.button

namemapping should be included in the next release
