Hello!

Hmmm Do You have something inside "General events"? maybe something is sitting inside "OnTeststart" event.

Could you try going to tools -> current project properties -> playback -> and then turn on the checkbox for minimize testcomplete

Hi Wamboo,

Thanks for your reply, I didn't create any general events,it seems to load the  elements before running a test , this takes much time , after load the elements, it can run correctly, it only happened at one computer , other computers are ok with the same test 

Best Regards,

Nikki

Hi,

JFYI, consider this: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/store-all-name-mapping-objects-in-a-p...

[tristaanogre]

Right there is your problem, setting all those variables.  If they aren't in a procedure or function but "global" in a script unit, then as soon as your project starts, those variables are attempted to be set.  And then, as @AlexKaras  points out, TestComplete attempts to find those objects and assign the values.  Since the application objects that those variables reference aren't present in memory at that point, then TestComplete will take up to the maximum timeout to find the objects before going to the next one.

I would wrap those "set" commands into a Sub or Function and put them in a routine that you can call as needed rather than make them global.

thanks tristannogre, it is strange that the scripts doesn't have the problem at other computers, at other computers ,it just spend less than one second,but at the current computer, the same scripts ,it needs take 8 mins  to load all the objects,then to run the scripts.

Thanks,

Nikki

Something is different... and it's not TestComplete.  I'm guessing:

1) They have different projects and are doing things differently.

2) They have the application in question open already when they start their automation run
