Updated Testcomplete 12.30 to 12.50 , getting preparing an object recognition hint

Hi all, I have updated Testcomplete from 12.30 to 12.50, automated tests used to run perfectly fine but now complaining about the objects. In one of the scenarios where it clicks OK button to close ...

    It's generally not a good idea to map using the "Name" field.  In this case, I'd actually change the mapping to use the Caption property with a value of "Backup & Restore".  This is a more accurate and reliable mapping.

Well, there's something else going on in there... there's an "Unexpected Window" error... could be any number of things then that could be going differently.  I'd resolve that error first before you start worrying about the "object recognition hint".

 

 

Basically, from your log, you're clicking on the OK on the backup restore window... but then there's something else going on where (I'm guessing) that window isn't getting closed before you attempt the next step.

Also, please highlight the line that has the object recognition hint and then, in the lower panel, select the "Additional Info" tab.  It would be helpful to see what it thinks it is finding versus what's actually on the screen.

    After adding Name to the second hierarchical level, it starts working and tests are running perfectly fine now.

        I have already added the WndCaption to the parent window but can't find WndCaption on the second level. But there is another property called WPFControlText on the second level, would adding that the be better solution than adding Name property?
