Re: Recognising unexpected windows
I'm not sure what you mean by multiple processes. I'm assuming it has something to do with the multiple iexplore tabs in the name mapping. I'm not sure if this is the problem because when it fails i immediately re-map the item and then try to "highlight on screen" and it cannot find it. So it isnt actually respawning, its the same instances. What is a registry edit?1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Recognising unexpected windows
I am doing a manual keyword test. I have had a look through the help sections. I have changed the playbackin the project properties for unexpected windows. I have tried all combinations of the options and I still cannot get test complete to recognise or remove the window. The window has it's own alias under iexplore in the name mapping but I cannot select criteria for it to search for because it does not exist. I have used object spy on the window and the information is the same as in the name mapping.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRecognising unexpected windows
I am testing a new administration system. When filling in details on one of the screens, a window pops up asking me to save or continue. I have added an on screen action to click the ok button on the pop-up windowbut it cannot be found whenI try to highlight it on screen. How can I get test complete to recognise the window? Any help will be much appreciated16KViews0likes5Comments- 1.8KViews0likes0Comments
Re: Urgent! Unavailable Name Mapping file
Yes the file does exist. I have tried adding the existing file and i get another error "Could not add a child element from the 'S:\...NameMapping.tcNM' file." I ahve checked the help information and it seems that the file may be corrupt. How could this have happened?1.8KViews0likes0CommentsUrgent! Unavailable Name Mapping file
I have been working in a project suite for a number of weeks, recording and running tests everyday. This morning, when opening my project, a message appeared: "Cannot open the 'S:\...\NameMapping.tcNM' file because it is not a valid Name Mapping file." None of my tests will run. Last night the tests were running fine, Idi not touch the file at all and this morning is now invalid. I cannot continue without the name mapping. So any help will be much appreciated.20KViews0likes14CommentsMoving keytests between project suites
I am workingwithin a team thatistesting anadministrationsystem. We are working in two project suites because working in the same project was slowing the recording down and continually asking to update. To bring all the tests together I add an "existing item" from the other project suite. When I try to run these tests they immediately fail because ojects cannot be found or do not exist. If i then re-point the test actions they run perfectly, obviously this is very time consuming and impractical. It seems that when the test is brought over the name mapping does not come with it and the test is struggling to find the objects because they are not mapped in my suite. Is there a way of merging the name mapping from the 2 project suites so that all tests will run in either suite.20KViews0likes1CommentProperty checkpoint against a parameter within a data driven loop
I am testing the calcuation of premiums on a web based application. I have a list of premiums saved in an excel spread sheet which correlate to premiums generated on the application. This excel spreadsheet runs the data driven loop that calculates the premium for each record. I want to add a check point at the end of each calculation that compares the premium calculated by the application against my calculation in the spreadsheet. Normally i would have the checkpoint compare the object property against a parameter and then link this with the table data but it does not give me an option to do this. How can i get a property checkpoint within a data driven loop where the value changes?22KViews0likes1CommentAccounting for errors during long test runs.
My project runs a series of tests that key on policies into a web basedadministration system. Each test is data driven and can take a few hours to finish so i usually leave the test to run over night. Because the administration system is still unfinished there are often a few problems that stop the running of the tests andleave itunfinished. Is there a way that I can get the test to return to a familiar screen, if the test is stopped, and then continue with the next record in my data sheet.17KViews0likes1Comment
