Sys object included in keyword test item tree

All of a sudden, the Sys object is starting to show up when recording keyword tests. 



Previously the item tree would look like



SoftwareProgram

 \

   MainScreen

    \

      ribbon



Now it looks like



Sys

\

  SoftwareProgram

   \

     MainScreen

      \

        ribbon



Any ideas on why it changed?  I don't remember making any changes but I must have change something that caused it to do that.

  • Hi,



    Actually, this is correct. The Sys node should appear in recorded keyword tests. It is the root object for all the others. It will always appear in your tests unless you address objects of your application via Name Mapping.

    This possibility for the change in behavior may be that the earlier code was coming from NameMapping and your later code, for some reason, doesn't match up in NameMapping so it needs to use the Sys tree mapping.  Check to see if anything in your application has changed to the point that it may not recognize the mapped items.
