Re: Recording scripts using Mapped Objects and not Aliases
Wanted to do a second edit, but the button was no longer there! Anyways, Also wanted to point something out. If we play the tests back that we previously recorded with the fullName attribute, the tests will run just fine. It is when we record, that the script does not pick up the mapped objects that we had mapped before. Thanks again :-)693Views0likes0CommentsRecording scripts using Mapped Objects and not Aliases
Hello and Happy New Year! I don't know what has changed on my computer, but for some reason, when I record a new test, instead of using the aliased objects that I made, the test will add new objects (or not, depending if I have "Map Object Names Automatically" enabled). All of the Aliased objects can find the correct object just fine when I right click and select "Highlight on screen", but once again, when I record, TC decides to map all new objects, as oppossed to using the ones I already have. . . Thanks for your help!! -Sean Edit:: After further investigation, it appears as if when we map an object with the "FullName" property, TC wants to create another instance of that same object and attempt to remap that object and all of its children that were applicable in the test. Upon removing "FullName" property, TC will use that object and its children, until it runs into another object with the "FullName" property. Unfortunately we have to use the fullName property, as some of our objects change names during execution. FullName was working just fine a few days ago, I'm not quite sure what changed in between to cause it to stop working. . . Thanks again for your time.20KViews0likes2CommentsPotential memory leak in TC 8.7 Object Browser?
Hello again everyone! Today when I was using Object Browser and spy tool to map some objects, TC just froze. I restarted TC, then when I attempted to map again, the program froze. I waited for about 5 minutes, and noticed that the memory usage was steadily rising without going back down. In the Windows Task Manager, I found that TC was using 240,000 K of memory and was still rising. Any ideas as to what might have caused this? My coworkers seem to be doing just fine, it's just my computer that is messing up. Thanks for your time!! -Sean22KViews0likes1CommentUpdating the NameMapping.tcNM file
Hello again :-) If someone on a seperate computer were to update / completely change their name mapping settings, all I would have to do to change mine to what they have is take their NameMapping.tcNM file and place it into the NameMapping folder in the current project? Is this correct, or is there another step? When I do this and reload TC, my nameMapping file still appears to have my old settings. Thanks for your time!! -Sean18KViews0likes4CommentsUpdate after renaming objects in NameMapping
Hello again! Suppose I have made a series of tests that have already worked, but then I wished to make the tests easier to read by updating all of my names / moving the NameMapping tree around.. Is there a way to automatically update the script, or do I have to manually update the script? I have finally proposed to my company that NameMapping all of the objects to an understandable format would be very beneficial for the future and would like to pretty much re-NameMap the entire program. Thanks for the help! -Sean18KViews0likes3CommentsName Mapping objects that do not stay on the screen
Hello again! I am trying to map an object that is accessed via a toolbar selection. For instance, you would hover over the Toolbar item "File" then click the menu option "Close". I want to be able to name map the close menu option, however, when I am trying to map it, the object dissapears because the "File" toolbar selection is no longer there, thanks to me having a different screen focus, thus the object in TestComplete dissapears. Is there any way around this so that I can map the option under the toolbar? Thanks for your help!! -Sean18KViews0likes1Comment
