Keyword Tests Removed
When running some automation tests an error was displayed saying unable to find element and everything crashed so needed to restart testcomplete. Once restarted the project now has no keyword tests section and all the tests in the execution plan have a little red x icon against them and can't be run. When looking in the keyword tests folder in the saved location a load of them seem to have gone. Any idea what may have caused this and how to recover them?Re: Project error stopping execution
Yes most of the tests pull data from a spreadsheet but these errors don't seem to occur at those points specifically. May not be related but what I do notice is it seems to happen when I leave the tests to run on a VM and not keeping an eye on it so the machine may lock the screen due to time set to sleep but I have set up all the settings advised to make sure tests can still run fine in these situations as they do continue without issue for a while then all of a sudden one of them will get this errorProject error stopping execution
When running multiple tests in one run I quite often get project errors that occur which stops the execution of the tests until I have selected an option from the pop up. This is a problem as I often will run tests when not keeping an eye on them so are hopefully completed by the following day so if this stops it wastes time. I have tests to continue on failures so that the following tests aren't impacted but this error seems to keep popping up. If I run the test that has the issue by itself after theres no issue with it so does anyone know why this would keep happening on different tests and how to stop it?How can I extract files from a zip file to compare
I need to compare various files that we get when results are returned however when I click to view the results they are returned in a zip file so am unable to compare the pdfs. How do I extract the files from the zip to then be able to compare them. Ideally if I can extract the files and then move them to a specific folder I can then compare them to the baseline pdfs. Is there a way of doing this in keyword tests or will it need to be scripted? If scripted is anyone able to advise what that would look like in python? ThanksHow to keep date from excel in the same format
I am currently setting a date in excel and extracting that date to be used as a variable. I need the variable to be displayed in the format DD/MM/YY so in excel I have formatted the cell so it displays that way e.g. 06/02/24. However when testcomplete gets the data from the excel cell it sets the variable in the format DD/MM/YYYY e.g. 06/02/2024 How can I get it to keep the data exactly how it's being displayed in excel? Thanks
