Re: Unable to load TestComplete due to "Either the installation files or registry data are corrupted..."
I've been getting that a lot. I got it after I tried to install TestExecute and apply browser patches. Restarting my computer usually fixes it. But I have had to re-install TestComplete once.1.7KViews0likes1CommentRe: Do I need to load the excel spreadsheet as part of the test for data validation?
I've used Excel spreadsheets in my test easily enough, you create a variable and map it to the spreadsheet. But that was only for data driven testing where it would use a different / the next row for each iteration of the loop. But yeah, don't see why you couldn't just call today and then add a unit per loop. Not sure of the code but should be fairly easy to find.2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Objects that don't exist pass when a check is made against their property?
I asked a developer and we typically use a 'Display' property as the first display property and then some Javascript on the top to show/hide. TestComplete has seemingly relevant properties like Enabled, Exists, Visible and VisibleOnScreen but I'm not sure how it determines them and none work in my test scenario. Thanks for your response.1.5KViews0likes1CommentObjects that don't exist pass when a check is made against their property?
It seems if I need to check the value of say the 'Visible' property is true against an object that hasn't been rendered onscreen yet then TestComplete will consider the check passed and continue on its way. Is that expected? What might I be doing wrong?1.5KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Issues with new chrome
"Even so, with new versions of anything, automation tools, browsers, SDKs, there is always a risk that something may change that could break the way you're approaching a solution. " That's a fair point but the main reason we chose TestComplete and other Smart Bear products was to minimize that risk.3KViews0likes2CommentsGetting the parameter passed as URL in a Browser Loop.
I have a Browser Loop in a Keyword Test. I manually select a variable containing a URL as the parameter for this. Later on in the test I would like to be able to get whatever variable I selected for the Browser Loop and use it for other things. How would I do this?1.3KViews0likes5Comments
