TestComplete 9 - Auto-Wait timeout
Hi, My team have upgraded TestComplete 8.7 to 9.0 a few days ago, and we encountered some problems that we didn't have with TestComplete 8.7.. Before posting here we have searched an answer in the Help topic et on this forum, but with no result. The main problem, and the most horrible, is the Auto-Wait timeout project property. It seems that TestComplete 9.0 use this timeout every time, even if you set the timeout to an other value in functions. For instance , the following lines close Notepad window and wait until the window is not visible : //Close the window Aliases.Sys.Process("notepad").Window("Notepad", "New File", 1).Close(); //Wait up to 1sec for Exists= true if(Aliases.Sys.Process("notepad").Window("Notepad", "New File", 1).WaitProperty("Exists", true, 1000)) //Wait up to 5sec for Visible = false Aliases.Sys.Process("notepad").Window("Notepad", "New File", 1).WaitProperty("Visible", false, 5000); TestComplete 8.7 is working well with Auto-wait timeout property = 10sec. It waits up to 1sec for Exists = true, and then if it is the case, waits up to 5 seconds that Visible = false. If the property Visible does not equals true after 5sec, it goes on. TestComplete 9.0 is not working well because it does not wait up to 1sec for Exists but up to 10sec (because Auto-Wait timeout project property = 10sec). If Auto-Wait timeout project property = 0sec, it wait 0sec... Also for the Visible property. This problem is very blocking because for our tests, we have to wait 50sec for a window, or 1sec in other cases, and to set the Auto-wait timeout to 50sec would be horrible for playback... We tried to set the Auto-wait timeout property to 0, but it doesn't work : TestComplete 9.0 wait 0sec instead of 1sec or 5sec... And of course scripts fell in error because there is no synchronization.. I've chosen to post here instead of sending mail to your support team because I think it is a bug, and it is quite easily to reproduce it. Thanks in advance for any help ! Best regards, Max.

Hi Lukina, Thanks a lot for your answer and your help ! Unfortunately, playing with those options didn't solve my problem. And I had already red the help topics, without find solution. I don't know if it's normal, but when TestComplet captures an image, the screen becomes grey for a few milliseconds (I can see it when TestComplet is running). On Window Seven, sometime TC takes the right picture, and sometime it takes the grey screen. On Window XP, it takes the grey screen each time. I think it may be because of the computer slowness, in wish case a hard coded delay or a specific option could help. Do you know if it is possible ? Or maybe it's another problem. The object I want TestComplet to capture is a 3D view in a integrated 3D CAD software (like 3DS Max or Pro Enginer). Thanks in advance, Regards Max674Views0likes0CommentsRegion Checkpoint
Hi all, I use TestComplet8 ans I have a problem with the Region checkpoint functionality. I want to compare a stored images (my reference) with the active window. But when the image of the active window is different from the reference, as you probably know TestComplet will make several image comparison and then, will fails in error. My problem is that those several comparisons makes my screen becoming grey for some milliseconds, and TestComplet takes the grey image instead of the real image. If somebody knows if there is an option or a way to force TestComplet to wait a moment before taking a screen shot for the image comparison, I would be happy to know it ! Thanks in advance for any help, and please forgive my bad English :) Regards Max16KViews0likes4Comments
