Questions about Browser Looping

[Largent803]

I am evaluating this product for possible use with for the company. I am attempting to create a test that will run on both

Chrome and Edge. 

I created the test using Chrome and when I originally ran the test on Chrome it works perfectly. Now I have added the looping function to it

but when I do that the system launches the Chrome browser then launches the Edge Browser and hangs there eventually it completes the test run

for Chrome but doesn't do the test run for Edge using the same steps. 

Is there a configuration to the Looping feature that is needed? So that it will run all the steps on both browsers.

Okay, now if you add Edge back in, what happens?

[Largent803]

It Launches Chrome gets through two or three steps and then stops and Launches Edge and runs the full test. So it is not running all the steps in Chrome.

[Marsha_R]

Please post a screenshot of the loop with Chrome and  then the loop with Chrome and Edge both included, and indicate where the second one stops working with Chrome.

Are you not able to take a screenshot?  It is helpful to see the code and the results in the context of the TestComplete UI.

This is the function that I came up with. It works depending on the order I have selected so if I choose Edge first it will Launch Edge then hold it open. Then Launch Chrome and complete all the steps and vice versa.

The farthest it goes in either case is the Username and Password.

[Marsha_R]

There's a problem with your syntax here

You have Chrome and Edge in the same call.

The correct syntax would be like this:       Browsers.Item(btChrome).Run();

Take a look at this page.  It shows you the correct syntax for browser loops, with some different choices on how to name the browsers.

I edited out the code as you suggested however, I still received the same error where it would launch the Chrome Website and then go up to the Username and password piece and then stop at that portion. 

It would then launch the Edge part of the code and completely run the script.

[Marsha_R]

Please post a screenshot of the edited code.

I figured out what was going on with the looping it had do with the fact that I didn't know I needed to make the code below the browser loop children of the loop. Once I did that the loop worked perfectly.
