Table not available in checkpoint wizard
Hello, I am using TestComplete version 12.60. In the past I created some table checkpoints, but now they are failing. I cannot update the table checkpoint: "The specified object is not valid or cannot be found. The comparison has been aborted." When I try to create a new one using the checkpoint wizard, there is no table option, see image. Could you help me with this?Re: TestComplete sees my application as a black window
Hello Alex, -- Is it correct that initially TestComplete was started on behalf of a regular user without any permissions elevation? yes, that's correct -- Is the tested installer started as a Tested Application (and thus it inherits permissions of TestComplete) or some other way? yes, it's started as tested application -- Is UAC (User Access Control) window with the request to allow changes confirmation displayed on installer's start? Or UAC is disabled on this test system? If UAC is displayed, do you handle it manually or via some test code? UAC is disabled on this system. I don't know if this can be handled by TC The answer that I get from your collegue: "TestComplete likely needs additional permissions in order to automate actions over an installer. Installation of an application is not a standard task, additional security is implemented to prevent malicious applications from automatically installing applications. Furthermore, I do not anticipate any conflicts executing your existing tests when running TestComplete as an administrator." Regards, ArnoutRe: TestComplete sees my application as a black window
Hello Alex, Thanks for your reply. I found a solution with help from one of your collegues. When running TestComplete as administrator, it is possible to click on the buttons and execute the installer. So this would solve my problem. Thanks for your help! Kind regards, ArnoutRe: TestComplete sees my application as a black window
Thanks for your reply. You are right, there are 4 processes with the same name. But the window is always part of the process with index 4, I have checked. I tried the waitwindow method, but that did not help. I have checked that the window is visible, also the next button is visible and enabled, but cannot be clicked. I got the following error message: “There was an attempt to perform an action at point (37, 11) which is transparent or out of the window bounds.” If the button is transparent, how do I know this and how can I workaround this? I also noticed that testcomplete was waiting until the overlapped window became visible. You said that I am using an old methodology for defining my process and windows. Is this a problem in this case? Can you tell me how long this methodology will be supported? Is it recommended to change this in my tests? Thanks in advanceRe: TestComplete sees my application as a black window
Thanks for your reply. However, my application is in the foreground, but testcomplete is still waiting till the window is activated and/or the window is overlapped, and is unable to click on the windowbutton. I tried this with two monitors, also tried to activate the window, but without success. My code: var p, w; p = Sys["Process"]("rsoft_scl_install", 4); w = p["Window"]("TWizardForm", "Setup - Synopsys Photonic Solutions Licensing Version 2018.12", 1); w["Click"](320, 370); //click somewhere on the window, works nextButton = w["Window"]("TNewButton", "&Next >", 1); nextButton["Click"](); //does not work
