Re: Scripting Name Mapping Definitions
We created a Utility script which we can use to automatically create the name mapping of our dialogs. To use the script, only the window needs to be created manually in NameMapping as a starting point. Our script then recursively reads out the children of the relevant elements and inserts them into the name mapping using AddNamedChild. Elements that are relevant to us are given a special prefix. We then save the whole thing. In a second step, the XML file is actually processed directly and the corresponding aliases are created for the elements with a prefix. It would of course be nicer if you didn't have to edit the XML file directly, but instead had appropriate commands for this. We created a feature request for this: Extended Scripting Support for Name Mapping | SmartBear Community In my opinion, this topic here would be another use case for our feature request. But I also agree with the previous commentator that the logic behind selecting the right GUI elements for name mapping and aliases is actually where the most work and value is.Re: Suppress Security Warning when running Tested Apps
We have UAC turned off, but the security message still comes up when the batch file is opened normally on the network. However, the following approach works for us: We create a local batch file that directly calls the batch file located in the network. The call is then made using the following sequence: // 1. Change to the directory of the batch file on the network WshShell.CurrentDirectory = comVariableStorage.getVariable("Dir"); // 2. Call the local batch file WshShell.Run(fwConstants.BatchDir + "\\start_appl_xxx.bat"); Result: no security message appears anymoreRe: Add suport for Python's match-case statement
I would even like to go further and wish that all the corresponding language syntax improvements would also be made available when updating to new language versions. TestComplete version 15.56/15.58 included an update to Phyton version 3.11.5, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have any effect on the language syntax in TestComplete. The only reference to another Phyton version, namely 3.8.10, can be found here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/language/python/index.html. As it appears to me, the language syntax that I have with Phyton as part of TestComplete are based on this old phyton version.Re: Confusing version information (15.55 to 15.58)
Hello Pawel, this at least provides an explanation for this, but still leaves questions unanswered: 1.) In 15.56 the improvement "Updated CEF Library to version 116. " was listed, in 15.58 no longer. According to your statement, it should be included. 2.) I would have expected your explanation directly in the version information, so that it is clear to us users which version we can use and which we should not use. There are certainly users who do not always update to the latest version, but to the last or penultimate version, and if no advice is given not to use this version, this only leads to unnecessary effort on the part of the manufacturer and customer. Best regards MatthiasConfusing version information (15.55 to 15.58)
Hi, in the last few weeks, a relatively large number of versions have been released at short intervals, the version information of which was, in my opinion, relatively confusing. For example, version 15.58 contains parts from 15.56, but one improvement is missing, but it contains a few additional fixes. In version 15.57 there is only one sentence in it that says version 15.55 will be continued (what does that mean to version 15.56?). Best regards Matthias PS: Here is the version information I mean, as of 11/24/23, 8:30am: What's New in TestComplete 15.58 Applies to TestComplete 15.58, last modified on November 16, 2023 Below are the changes made to TestComplete 15.58 relative to the previous version of the product, TestComplete 15.57.

Hi, we recently updated our TestComplete versions from 15.51 and 15.52 to 15.56. In 15.54 there was the following improvement in the release notes: "NodeJS upgrade to version 14.21.3.". We use Javascript as the scripting language in TestComplete and were wondering if this update would have any positive impact on us. If so, what would they be? (we had hoped that this update would make the use of some new language elements available for classes, such as "static"). The statements about using node.js that I found here are "TestComplete does not use node.js" and "TestComplete does not use node.js like the browsers" (=> https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/import-nodejs-modules/td-p/197402), which statement is true? The use of Javascript and Phyton is advertised because updates are carried out regularly (after it was previously advertised that no one would have to learn a new programming language specifically for test automation due to the huge number of supported scripting languages). Last point: We actually wanted to look into TestLeft because we could work in a "real" IDE with the programming language most commonly used in our company - but when we looked at the version history we noticed that the last release 15.40 was from March 2022 - the product plays no longer a role at smartbear? We would be happy to provide answers and explanations...
