TestComplete unable to identify objects in iFrame

[arjlee]

TestComplete is unable to identify objects in iFrames within Chrome. This is somewhat of a deal breaker as it makes the product significantly unsuitable for needs. Please let us know ASAP if there is workaround/fix as we are considering whether or not to renew licenses.

We can give you more specific answers if you give us more details in your questions.

What version of TestComplete are you using?

What version of Chrome are you using?

What did you try and what happened when you did it?  Giving us screenshots is helpful.

TestComplete: 14.81.217.7 x64 with desktop and windows app modules

Chrome: Version 92.0.4515.159 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have tried using the Object Spy- it highlights the iFrame but nothing within it

I have tried using the Object Tree - it shows nothing under the iFrame

I have tried using the following command-line switches:

  --disable-web-security (for all Chrome versions)

  --user-data-dir=<ProfilePath> (for all Chrome versions)

  --disable-site-isolation-trials (for Chrome version 70 and later)

it made no difference difference.

I have identified the objects using IE11 and then tried:

Nativewebobject.Find

Object.Find

Object.FindAllChildren

Object.FindChild

No luck.

From this reference, it looks like TestComplete 14.81 only goes up to Chrome 90.

For Chrome 92, you'll need to upgrade TC.  For TC 14.81, you'll need to downgrade Chrome.

When TestComplete uses a TestedApp it does not open the app with the installed extensions. This results in an error because the extension is not available. At best there is a fiddly workaround that is very difficult in locked down SOEs; not an easy thing.
