find is not working in workspace.

shankar_r · ‎11-23-2016

When i try to find a string using Edit --> Find (Ctrl+F) in workspace it is not working properly. Test Complete is highlighting different word or unrelated strings.

Please find the below image for more details.

Thanks

All I can report is that, attempting the same thing in my own projects (multiple projects, multiple project suites, multiple languages,etc) is not running into that error. So, it is not a general bug in TestComplete.

Now... I HAVE experienced this in the past and usually it happens if TestComplete gets in some sort of weird state because of some previous errors or whatever in executing script code. What I did to correct it is close ALL open editor windows in TestComplete, save my project/project suite, close TC and then re-open. That usually resolved it.

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.

"if TestComplete gets in some sort of weird state because of some previous errors or whatever in executing script code"

But that is a general bug in TestComplete. I have seen the same thing in TC for a long time. Pretty sure I even reported it.

Eh.. maybe, maybe not... the reason I say that is because the times when I've run into this problem is when I write some script code that steps on a memory location that I shouldn't have and just causes all sorts of havok. In that case, it's not a problem with TestComplete, it's a problem with the stupid developer sitting at the keyboard... PEBKAC. 🙂

Yeah but I'm not that sophisticated and it still happens. If I'm in an undesirable memory location, then TC put me there! 🙂

I worked an issue once where code folding (outlining) was being affected by the presence of line continuation backslashes in string literals. Perhaps there is a similar issue for you.

If the problem is consistent (that is, it always happens) then it should be easy to whittle away code and script units to see what may be causing the problem.

@tristaanogre .... PEBKAC - I didn't know that one. Had to google it. Very good!
