Add new function "Find Aliases" (Find the Aliase object in Aliases pane for a Mapped Object)
I use "Find Mapped Objects" function a lot to find the Mapped Objects from their Aliases. But sometimes there are only Mapped Objects created without the Aliases. There are a lot of cases that I need to find if the Alias for a Mapped Object. Currently there is no such function exist so I ended up spending a lot of time to guess which one is its Alias. Especially when an Alias was moved away from its original hierarchy to a different location, there is no way I can trace it by its hierarchy. It would be very helpful to trace the objects both ways (from Aliases to Mapped Objects and from Mapped Objects to Aliases).3.1KViews5likes2CommentsRe: Are Wait related methods (Wait, WaitChild, WaitAliasChild, WaitProperty) working in Keyword Test?
AlexKaras, these are good information to know. Thank you very much. I couldn't find a good example to post now. Next time when I encountered one, I will post an example. Usually it is when the web site is slow or when clicking on a button and the site is spinning (when processing the information) for a while before returning a result page. I also noticed something here: Wait method: WaitTime, Default value = -1 (the documentation does not tell you what -1 means here) WaitProperty method: If WaitTime is -1, the waiting time is specified by the Auto-wait timeout project property. WaitChild method: If WaitTime is -1, the waiting time is infinite. WaitAliasChild method: WaitTime, Default value = 0 If WaitTime is -1, the waiting time is specified by the Auto-wait timeout project setting. When you give -1 for these methods, their meanings are different in each one. SmartBear is so inconsistent in the default values and the meanings of the default values.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsAre Wait related methods (Wait, WaitChild, WaitAliasChild, WaitProperty) working in Keyword Test?
Hello, I use Keyword Test in TestComplete to test web applications. Usually when I record a new Keyword Test, the test will automatically record rows to Wait for certain web pages to load. In a normal situation, everything is working well. But sometimes, when the web application is slow (take longer response time to load the next page), I will have to increase the wait time or put wait related commands to wait for the page to load before doing something else. I have a situation like this in Keyword Test: (the script is doing something else .....) Row 1 -> WebPageA.wait Row 2 -> WebPageA.button1.click (the script is doing something else .....) When the web site is slow, the script always fails in Row 2 and the error message is "WebPageA" is not exist. I set the wait time to big numbers and my project default wait timeout is also a big number but it doesn't seem to be waiting at all. I have tried Wait, WaitChild, WaitAliasChild, WaitProperty in this situation but none of them worked. So I ended up always had to comment out all these Wait commands and replaced with Delay command. But Delay is not a good way to do in this situation. I did a lot of research and it seems everyone else has suggested to use these Wait commands but they just don't work for me. I also tried the Wait on the mobile app that I am testing and it is also not waiting at all. Not sure what I am missing here. So far, I only tried on Keyword Test and haven't got a chance to try in a script yet but it should not make any difference. Any help is appreciated.1.7KViews0likes4CommentsRe: TestComplete working with TFS as a source control system, checked-in test scripts are not visible
I got it now. When I am adding a new test to the project, TestComplete will ask me to check out KeywordTests before I can add a new item. After I add the new test and check-in my new test, I also need to make sure that I check-in KeywordTests. If something happens in between that I only check-in my test without check-in the modified KeywordTests (modified by TestComoplete tool), then I will get the situation like I described here. That clears my doubts about why it happens. Thank you very much, Tristaanogre.2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: TestComplete working with TFS as a source control system, checked-in test scripts are not visible
When I added "an existing item", the test was added (with no error). Then I tried to check-in the added test, it showed the error in TestCompleteError.bmp (please see attachment 1) and I had to click on No (select Yes will keep the same message display again and again). Then it showed 2nd error in Error2.bmp (please see attachment 2). Maybe the error is because it is already in TFS and I tried to check it in again. But it didn't display in TestComplete the 1st time when it was check-in.2.7KViews0likes2CommentsRe: TestComplete working with TFS as a source control system, checked-in test scripts are not visible
Yes, I tried that and it gave me an error "Unable to ......tf.exe .......". But after that, everything seems to be ok, the test was added to TestComplete and I can check-in and check-out the test and other users are able to see it. I am just wondering will it cause any other issues down the road?2.7KViews0likes4CommentsTestComplete working with TFS as a source control system, checked-in test scripts are not visible
We currently encountered a problem with TestComplete working with TFS as a source control system. When a user checked-in a new keyword test to TFS, the test is not visible to other users in TestComplete (all other users have downloaded the most current version from TFS). But all users can see the new test files in the file system under the specific project from Windows Explorer. So the new code is in TFS (visible to everyone) and when a user downloads the most recent code, the new test is also downloaded to their local project folder/files. It is just not showing up in TestComplete tool for other users. Any idea what happens and how to solve it? Thanks.Solved2.7KViews0likes6Comments
