Hi Rachelle,
Please note that you need to copy the entire project suite folder, not just a single .mds file, in order to copy your project to another machine. So, the behavior can be caused by the fact that an old Name Mapping scheme is used. If all the needed files are copied, there are no obvious reasons which may cause such behavior. If copying the entire folder does not help, try the following:
1. Insert the following routine call before retrieving the problematic object in your test (change the process name):
LogAppStructure(Sys.Process("MyProcessName"))
Here is the LogAppStructure routine code:
Sub LogAppStructure(obj)
Err.Clear
On Error Resume Next
Dim count, i, Str
ReDim params(7)
params(0) = "WndClass"
params(1) = "WndCaption"
params(2) = "Index"
params(3) = "Visible"
params(4) = "Exists"
params(5) = "ClrFullClassName"
params(6) = "ProductName"
params(7) = "ProductVersion"
Str = ""
For i = 0 To UBound(params)
If IsSupported(obj, params(i)) Then
Str = Str & params(i) & " = " & VarToStr(Eval("obj." & params(i))) & VbCrLf
End If
Next
Call Log.AppendFolder(obj.Name, Str)
For i = 0 To obj.ChildCount - 1
Call LogAppStructure(obj.Child(i))
Next
Log.PopLogFolder
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
function LogAppStructure(obj)
{
var count, i, Str;
var params = new Array();
params.push("WndClass");
params.push("WndCaption");
params.push("Index");
params.push("VisibleOnScreen");
params.push("Exists");
params.push("Visible");
params.push("FullName");
params.push("ClrFullClassName");
Str = "";
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
if (IsSupported(obj, params))
Str += params + " = " + VarToStr(eval("obj." + params)) + "\r\n";
}
Log.AppendFolder(obj.Name, Str);
for (var i = 0; i < obj.ChildCount; i++) {
LogAppStructure(obj.Child(i));
}
Log.PopLogFolder();
}
2. Execute your test and reproduce the "Object not found" problem. The LogAppStructure function will post the entire structure of the tested application to the test log and you will be able to see how objects are recognized right before the problem occurs.
3. If you fail to find the cause of the problem using the test log, zip your entire TestComplete project suite folder along with the log of the test execution and send me the archive via our Contact Support form (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/message). Make sure that messages in your log correspond to correct actions in the latest version of your test.
