Recording tests - object recognition issue in spite of extensions
I've recorded some keyword tests on my machine against a Java app and it's working great. It's recording the java objects automatically and can recognize objects such as Java buttons, grids, panes etc. When I try to have somebody else record against this app on another machine, I'm getting different results. The second machine is only recording basic window information and doesn't go deeper than recording/mapping wndSunAwtDialog or wndXYZ. It's only picking up the Dialog/Frame and records all actions based on coordinates relative to the frame, not coordinates relative to each object clicked. The recorded properties of these objects only include WndClass/WndCaption. I've compared projects and TestComplete settings on each device and they look identical, including the following: 'Map object names automatically' enabled Store Code Completion information: Full Object mapping for all objects enabled (this includes all Swing controls) The Java app executable added as a Tested App. All extensions (Java included) are installed and enabled within TestComplete Does anybody have any ideas what to check next? Do I need to install the actual Java Development Kit (jdk) on each machine in addition to the Java Runtime Evironment (jre)? I would think the TestComplete extension for Java objects would cover that. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!23KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Frame opens with new id (iterated id #) each time - can't find control
Hey Ann, thanks for your reply. As you mentioned, I had to make use of wildcards in my name mappings to get the correct object each time. One of my tests gets stuck finding a certain textbox unless I re-save my name mappings each time before I run the test. I don't make any changes to the mappings, I just have to re-save it before each run. Without going into great detail right away, is that something you have come across before? Maybe a bug? Thanks, Michael1.1KViews0likes0CommentsFrame opens with new id (iterated id #) each time - can't find control
I'm evaluating this product and am impressed with its capabilities so far. I am getting stuck on the following issue: Within the Java desktop app that I'm testing, I have a menu button that I click to open a new Frame/Window for some data entry. Each time I open this frame, it gets a new id (frame0, then frame1, then frame2, ...) See screenshot: imgur link So when I record the test, my steps will be assigned under the 'frame0' object. However, the next time the test runs, it's opening the frame which is now "frame1" and testing fails because it's looking for frame0.Is there a way to dynamically find the id of the frame? Through scripts? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Michael19KViews0likes3Comments
