Window is invisible error after migration to PowerBuilder 2017 R3 built Windows application
I have a Windows Application that was developed with PowerBuilder 2017 Release 2. I created a number of Data-Driven TestComplete scripts for regression testing. Recently, we upgraded PowerBuilder to PB 2017 Release 3 and rebuilt the application. Pretty much all of the Name Mapping IDs changed. I created a new TestComplete Project and I have re-recorded a few scripts (with the PB2017 R3 application). The Name Mapping shows the new IDs. The newly created test scripts play back fine. Next, I pasted the original Data Driven script into my new project and updated the object IDs in the script to reflect the new name mapping IDs. When I run the Data Driven script, it fails on the first Date/Time edit box with Window is not visible error. I use the Object Spy and it is not locating the Date/Time control. It only identifies the parent screen. But if I go back and play back the recently recorded script, the entry of the date and time in the Date/Time control works fine. One thing that I noticed when comparing the original Data-Driven script (from PB 2017 R2) to the newly recorded script (PB 2017 R3) is that the original script did not specify an object ID for the Date/Time control. Here are the 2 lines of script to illustrate what I mean. Original PB 2017 R2 script to enter Date and Time: Call Aliases.options.wndFNWND3126.MDIClient.wndFNWND3126.pbdw126.Keys(sRptDate + "1115a" + sTab) Newly recorded PB 2017 R3 script to enter Date and Time: Call Aliases.options.wndFNWND3170.MDIClient.wndFNWND3170.pbdw170.PBEDIT170.Keys("020320201015a[Tab]") NOTE: The newly recorded script just sets the Date /time to 02/03/2020 1015 AM without referencing the Data-Driven variables. the key thing I want to point out here is the new script added the PBEDIT170 object ID which according to the Name Mapping is the Date/Time control. With the old script, there was no ID specific to the Date/Time control. For testing purposes, I just put the new script line in my data driven script (without using the data driven variable for the date) simply using a hard-coded value of 02/02/2020 1015 AM instead. Call Aliases.options.wndFNWND3170.MDIClient.wndFNWND3170.pbdw170.PBEDIT170.Keys("020320201015a[Tab]") I figure I can update the data driven script to use the variable once the Date/Time control gets recognized. Here is a screen shop of the Name Mapping showing the Date/Time control. Am I missing something here? I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. Thanks, BillTC Desktop - How to make changes to variable for Data Driven Loop input file.
TestComplete 12.60 Desktop. I created a project, recorded a Keyword test and applied a Data Driven Loop to the Keyword Test. I converted the Keyword test to Script [VBscript]. Everything has been working great. I deleted the original Keyword test since I am using the VBscript to execute my test. Now I need to add some columns to my XLS Data Driven input file and I believe I need to update the variable associated with me Data Driven input file. I cannot figure out how to get to the variable definition for the variable associated with the Data Driven input. Help indicates to select the Variables Tab. I do not know where that is. I appreviate any assistance that can be provided.InputBox: How to tell if Cancel selected
I am invoking the BuildIn InputBox to get user input from my TestComplete 12.5 Vbscript. The InputBox dialog has 2 buttons: OK and Cancel and I would like a way for the user to abort the script execution. I thought the Cancel button might work, but the dialog behavior seems to be the same no matter which button is clicked. the typed value or default value gets returned. I cannot find documentation indicating how to determine which button was clicked. Does anyone know how to tell if the user clicks Cancel? ThanksCan log font be changed?
TestComplete 12.50.4142.7 x86 I would like the log file to use a true type font so it is easier to read. I changed the TestComplete font setting via Options - Panels - Display to Courier New, but it appears to only change the editor font. I appreciate any information and/or help with this. thanksData Driven testing: How do I conditionally evaluate XLS value in script?
Hello, I am working on a Data Driven test using an XLS file as my input data. One column in the file indivcates whether or not to use that row's data for testing. The file contains a number of users and their login credentials. Depending on what test scenario I am conducting, some users should be skipped. I am trying to figure out how to evaluate the value found in column [Include_In_Test] in vbscript. If the value is Y, then proceed and use this row, otherwise, skip to the next data row. I appreciate any examples, suggestions, etc. Thanks, Bill
