VB6 crashing more with TestExecute 9.30
When using TestExecute 9.30 - I noticed our software in vb6 keeps crashing now whenever it clicks on an object in a datalist (clicking on the object will take you to the next page relevent to the line you clicked on). This does not occur on TestExecute 9.20 (I proved this by keeping a copy of the test suite from when I was using 9.20)... On TestExecute - using the same tests where TestComplete 9.30 accessed them - would cause the same crashes, but when using the copy test suite that only TestComplete 9.20 has touched - no crashes occur In the spot where the crashes occur - this does not happen on TestComplete 9.30 - only TestExecute 9.30 - but seems to be specific to something TC does to the scripts in the background. As a workaround - I have had to rollback to 9.20 and reinstall the patch to fix another issue that was occuring in 9.20.Solved5.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: VB 6 applications seem to crash more often with TestComplete 8.5 than 8.2.
Tested the TestComplete and the TestExecute patches more extensively (that we were sent on ticket #M0101921) We are actually experiencing more crashes with the TestExecute patch (no successful run post patch). TestComplete on the exact same test will still crash randomly (with no error, project just dies), but upon reviewing AQTime, even on a successful run of TestComplete, it is producing Access Violations. I saved the results of both TestComplete and TestExecute and my system admin is sending a response to ticket #M010921 for further review. Thanks for working on this guys! Seems to be getting close :)1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: VB 6 applications seem to crash more often with TestComplete 8.5 than 8.2.
My results: Using the patch on 8.70 that I was sent in my issue (#M0101921), I ran it on our nightly functional/regression tests (this one is most prone to crashes). Not only did it not crash this time at all, it also seems to fix another issue we had. We also had an issue where when TestComplete would run, on certain screens, the buttons would stop rendering correctly. This fixed that issue as well. Is there a TestExecute 8.70 compatible version of the patch yet? If so, I could do a more extensive test (I could apply the patch to our nightly build server that runs all these nightly tests, then let you know on Friday if I encountered any problems during the weeks run). I tried just using this patch, but it caused a bunch of run time errors on TestExecute.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Unable to Add a row to table 2 dimensional variable programmatically
It's ok Stephanie, thanks for your comments and you ended up resolving my issue after all :) Ann, sorry for the late reply, but I was unable to reproduce this myself. When I tried setting up what Stephanie suggested again, it worked. So I am good now :) basic script in case anyone else is has the problem: 1. In the main project, create a table folder called "test" 2. Give it a column and a row 3. run the following function: sub test() dim before, after before = Project.Variables.test.RowCount Project.Variables.test.RowCount = 5 after = Project.Variables.test.RowCount log.message("before change: " & before & "after change: " & after) end sub 4. Results should say: before change: 1 after change: 5) Thanks for the help :)1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Unable to Add a row to table 2 dimensional variable programmatically
Ann - I already understand this concept, I am trying to modify the row count during execution.... In my example, I was using what Stephanie suggested and set the row count equal to 5 and outputted the row count in log.message during the execution, but it didn't work, it would still be the default rowcount. Sorry for not explaining better :). Stephanie - I am using TestComplete 8 as well..... Here is what I did in my example: (CustomerTempTable.rowcount = 1 by default before execution starts) During execution: Project.Variables.CustomerTempTable.rowcount = customerindex (customerindex is set to 5) log.message(Project.Variables.CustomerTempTable.rowcount) - output is 1 (I also tried just setting CustomerTempTable.rowcount equal to 5, but the output is still 1) Any idea's?1.4KViews0likes0Comments
