Re: Problems with recorded tests
Hi, I have found that recording tests using IE is problematic. First of all the other browsers seem to name map differently to IE and so often will not work on playback. Interestingly however, is that If you use, for example, Chrome to record your tests then they *should* also work on IE and the other browsers (just not the other way round). Using a different browser to record your tests may magically fix your problem. One other thing I'd like to mention is try to map your most used objects using the "Map object from screen" before recording your tests and if possible/needed change the names to something more sensible. This should help you when you come to debug your tests as well as make it a little more readable. Hope this helps.734Views1like0CommentsRe: Difference between Click() and ClickButton() methods.
Hey, The clickbutton method moves the mouse pointer to the specified button and then simulates a single click. So..... Aliases.myApp.MessageBox.DontSaveButton.ClickButton(); will click the Don't Save button. The Click method also simulates a click of the left mouse button over the object but can take co-ordinates and SHIFT, ALT or CTRL keys. So... Aliases.myApp.MessageBox.DontSaveButton.Click(); Should also click the Don't Save button (in the centre as I didn't put any co-ordinates). However, using the ClickButton method will not click on objects that are not buttons. So if I want to click on something that is not a button I use Click(). http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/32678/ http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/30636/?_ga=1.225388058.16028846.1368086553 Also: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/29935/ Hope this helps a little!1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Emailing Keyword Test Log

This change has recently occurred and I've searched the web in order to try and solve it with no luck. All of a sudden I am no longer able to open the TC MHT log files in IE. I download the file from our build sever and double click on it. What used to happen is it would open with no problems in IE. Now, after double clicking, it opens the view downloads dialog window and asks me to save the file. I do this, it saves and the button changes to open. So I click on Open but.... another instance of the file appears in the view download window and it asks me to save the file again. I tried changing the security setting to low in IE but this didn't work. I also tried reassigning IE as the default program to open the file type with. I'm using IE10 and windows 7. Any suggestions would be great thanks!3.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Chrome 29 / IE 9.0 / FF24
I think i'm right in saying that Chrome creates a process for every extension or tab etc you have... You may have to run a script at the end of your test to ensure its processes are killed using Terminate() http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/30751/ maybe something like: if(Sys.WaitBrowser().Exists) { Aliases.browser.Terminate(); } (asuming you're using name mapping/aliases). Also you may find the following useful if you've not already seen them. They are articles about preparing the different web browsers before testing. http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/26786/ Hope this helps =)1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Chrome 29 / IE 9.0 / FF24
On the download page http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/chrome-patches/ it says that 9.31 supports Chrome 29 out of the box. There is also the firefox 24 patch here: http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/firefox-patches/1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Alternative ways to navigate to a webpage
I'm not sure if that way will create more problems then it would solve. Thanks for trying to help though. If I don't get any more suggestions then I may have to think about reorganising my project inorder to do something different. Thanks again!2.5KViews0likes0Comments
