Navigating to a specific function in a script file TestComplete using CTRL-CLICK

[hacka87]

Hello !

Regarding code navigation between functions located in different script files...

Is there something in the Test Complete setup to be changed for CTRL-Click to work in navigating between different functions in different scripts.

In my TestComplete instance this works.

In another instance CTRL-Click does not work.

I have imported the functions necessary.

It depends, somewhat, on how you are linking the files, I believe.  What code language are you writing your scripts in? Is the other instance running the exact same project you are or is this a different project?  

[hacka87]

The test scripts are written in JavaScript.

There is a project on which the navigation works.

There is a different project where the navigation does not work.

The configuration displayed in the attached image was made.

Right... that's what I meant.  In that different project, are you using "\\USEUNIT" or "import".  I think, technically, it should work either way but I believe that there may be some issue with some of the parsing with the "import" methodology.

[hacka87]

The project uses the Import Functions in the context of the Script.

Also, in the header of the script  there are require () statements, and the functions are exported from the script and made accessible to other scripts.

The call works, code compiles and runs, but only the instance that contains the functions displays the highlight, but not the function.

And the project that works... is it using the same method or is it using "\\USEUNIT"?

[hacka87]

In the project where this works '\\USEUNIT' is not used.

OK...  I'm not sure then what's going on.  If that option is checked in both environments, then the CTRL-CLICK should work in both.  That option, BTW, is a machine specific setting... so... I know this is a "duh" question, but make sure that it is clicked on BOTH machines.

In the meantime, something that you can try is doing a "repair" install on the machine where it's not working... see if that corrects things.  

Beyond that.... you may want to consider contacting support directly.
