VB Runtime Error with The Case of the Method Name When Using ScriptExtension

[kkc]

I currently met a problem using ScriptExtension in TestComplete 9.31.3889.7. When I tried to call my method defined in ScriptExtension, there is always a VB runtion error.



My code is as follows:

=========================================

Sub VerifyMaintenanceScreen(ByVal strDriverName)

        Call Log.AppendFolder("Verify the data in the Maintenance Screen.")

        'Verify the fields

        HTML.TextBox.verifyvalue(id, value)

        Call Log.PopLogFolder

End Sub

=========================================



The runtime error is as follows:

=========================================

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'HTML.TextBox.VerifyValue'

Error location:

Unit: "BaseModule\BaseModule\Script\BASE_GeneralizedCodeGroup"

Line: 182 Column: 9.

=========================================



I didn't quite understand why I called method "HTML.TextBox.verifyvalue" but the TestComplete considered the method I called as  'HTML.TextBox.VerifyValue'.



Is this a bug or something?

Hi Kevin,



You're missing Call before the verifyvalue method call:

If you omit Call, you must also drop the parentheses around the argument list:

Yes， but after I have added Keyword "Call", the same error still exists.

The error still exist. I need help.

Hi Kevin,

Is HTML the name of the runtime object in your script extension? Make sure that all properties and methods of your object are properly created in the Description.xml file. Refer to the "Structure of the Description File" article for details.

Maybe I didn't explain the issue clearly. The problem is the method I define in ScriptExtension is "verifyvalue" (all characters are in lower case) and the method I called is "verifyvalue" (lower case as well). But the TestComplete considered that I call a method "VerifyValue" (two "v" are both in upper case), and think the method I called didn't exist. But actually, I didn't call "VerifyValue" (upper case) at all.

Hi Kevin,

Can you post here the RuntimeObject node from the Description.xml file where you create the method?

[kkc]

<RuntimeObject Name="TextBox" Namespace="HTML">

    <Method Name="FillTextBox" Routine="FillTextBox">

        Enter a value in the specified textbox. 

    </Method>

    <Method Name="LookupValue" Routine="LookupValue">

        Click on lookup button and select an item based on value.

    </Method>  

    <Method Name="verifyTextBoxState" Routine="verifyTextBoxState">

         Verify if a Textbox is enabled/disabled. strState: Enabled/Disabled

    </Method>

    <Method Name="TabFromTextBox" Routine="TabFromTextBox">

        Tab from the specified textbox

    </Method>   

    <Method Name="ReadValueFromTextBox" Routine="ReadValueFromTextBox">

        Read a value from the text box and store it in a project variable with the specified name 

    </Method> 

    <Method Name="verifyvalue" Routine="verifyvalue">

        Verify a value in the Textbox

    </Method>        

</RuntimeObject>

Hi Kevin,

The object description looks good. Could you please contact our TestComplete Support team to investigate this situation?
