Re: Unable to navigate to page
Forgot to mention above that the registry key edits also set the automation to run on reboot by entering a task script. I discovered that often tests were not running correctly when placed directly in the task.vbs file because the Windows desktop was not initializing. It turns out that the startup tasks placed in the registry must end before Windows continues startup. I got around this by using task.vbs to call a second script. This way, the startup command for task.vbs completes very quickly. Windows finishes starting up after task.vbs is done. Meanwhile, the second script has a wait time in it to let Windows finish before running its own commands. See task-sample.vbs for an example of calling another script. This will be "task.vbs". Then see task-script-sample.vbs for an idea of what complex things you can do in your second script. The name of this script does not matter, so long as you call it from task.vbs.

nisgupta , we did an admin hack where we set registry keys on Windows machine for auto admin login on restart, then reboot. At end of test, we ran script that unset those keys and rebooted to lock machine again. This was done a very long time ago and we no longer use TestComplete, so not certain if will work still. Note that some of these script commands use project variables set up in TestComplete, so you will have to implement or substitute actual values.

Having an intermittent issue with recognizing objects in our desktop Java application. Every so often, recognition of various top-level popup dialogs will fail. Note that it is not always the same test failing. Different tests will fail in different runs, with different dialogs. Symptoms are always the same. For example, looking for this object: Set object = Sys.Process("AppName").WaitSwingObject("JDialog", "Open Datafile(s)", 0) And it fails after an extended amount of time. Then, TestComplete logs an Unexpected window error for an object like this: Sys.Process("AppName").Window("SunAwtDialog", "Open Datafile(s)", 1) The amount of time WaitSwingObject takes to fail is directly linked to the project's Open Applications Method invoke timeout setting. I've tried increasing up to 15 minutes, and WaitSwingObject will take 15 minutes to return and fail. Seems the application is failing to respond to some internal method called in WaitSwingObject. I tried enabling Freeze Diagnostics for our application process with a lower value (2 minutes), but TestComplete never detected the freeze. Not certain how to gather more information.675Views0likes0CommentsRe: Errors loading pages in Chrome
The Chrome saga continues... A while ago, I switched to a neat method of monitoring page loads in Chrome that used the tooltip text to detect when the browser was loading (credit goes to Colin McCrae for coming up with that little gem). http://community.smartbear.com/t5/Functional-Web-Testing/contentDocument-readyState-always-quot-complete-quot-in-Chrome/td-p/89758 Unfortunately, this broke when the MSAA Description stopped returning any text. I talked to TestComplete tech support about it, but it looks as though Chrome just isn't providing that property on the objects any longer. There doesn't seem to be a way to access the tooltip text...? http://community.smartbear.com/t5/Functional-Web-Testing/Chrome-43-MSAA-Description-blank-wait-for-page-load-fails/m-p/100323#M24914 And using Page.Wait still fails miserably in the Chrome browser. So... circling back around to the original thread here to try to figure out how to get our automated tests working in Chrome again. Why, oh why, is it so difficult to tell me if the browser is loading a page?677Views0likes0CommentsRe: Losing recognition of Java Swing objects during test run; top-level window becomes SunAwtFrame
Ended up opening a support case. The solution was to increase the value of Project Properties > Open Applications > Method invoke timeout. My test scripts were accessing internal application methods, and the initial setting was 3000. When the application was working on a big file, it failed to respond within 3 seconds. This caused the Swing object recognition failures. I've increased the setting to 60000 in my projects for now, and this has gotten the test suite running again.1.7KViews1like0CommentsLosing recognition of Java Swing objects during test run; top-level window becomes SunAwtFrame
I've tried running our automated tests in TestComplete 11 for the first time, and the test run gets a few tests in and then fails all the remaining tests. After watching it a few times, I've realized that TestComplete is losing the ability to recognize the Java objects (SwingObject type) in our application after opening a particularly large file in the application. When the application starts, TestComplete correctly recognizes all the Swing objects. A few tests on smaller files are completed successfully. Then, a larger file is opened and at that point, TestComplete fails to recognize the application objects. I've attached a screenshot. Basically, the top-level Swing window recognition goes away and the window is only recognized as type Window("SunAwtFrame"). Any suggestions would be appreciated.Solved1.7KViews0likes1CommentRe: Chrome v. 44...
Thanks for the alternate method for disabling updates in Chrome, Alex. I had gone through and done the Group Policy setup to prevent updates, but it appears that after I manually updated to the very last release of 43, that version started ignoring the "no update" policy and updated itself to 44... As Tanya mentioned, Chrome 44 works with TestComplete 11 when the TC11 extension has been enabled (and chrome://flags/#enable-npapi is enabled). Tried copying the Chrome/Application/<version> folder to the desktop, uninstalled Chrome, and then ran <version>/Installer/setup.exe, but it did not appear to do anything.4.9KViews0likes11CommentsChrome 43 MSAA Description blank; wait for page load fails
For a while now, I've been waiting for Chrome processing to finish by waiting for the Reload button Description to become "Reload this page". For background on why this was done, see the following threads: contentDocument.readyState always "complete" in Chrome? Errors loading pages in Chrome Now, with Chrome 43, the Description property is blank. I can't seem to find a way to get the hover tooltip text for the Chrome toolbar buttons. Note that I have the toolbar set up for the Object Browser in Project Properties > Open Applications > MSAA by adding Chrome_WidgetWin_* to the window list. Does anyone have suggestions, either for getting the button tooltips or waiting for page processing in Chrome?
