Re: Desktop Automation Window Update
Richard, Thank you very much, this has solved this issue for me my hope is that with that ambiguous identifier that it will not come back to hurt me during further automation of the product since our product can open more than one window. If there are further issues I will reply on this thread. Thanks Again,2.8KViews0likes1Comment- 2.8KViews0likes0Comments
Re: Desktop Automation Window Update
Hello Robert first of all thank you very much for your reply. I am unsure of how much of my companies information I can show so I am hoping that if give you an example of two test that are supposed to do the same thing but have the incremented window values. Both tests are designed to log into our companies product using our admin login. The parts that I redacted are the login credentials. The full object path of the first click (highlighted line) isAliases.lwrms.wndLwRMS9c000000.LwRMS9c000000.LwRMS9c000000 for this first screenshot. In Login 2 that same highlighted line's full object path is Aliases.lwrms.wndLwRMS9c0000002.LwRMS9c000000.LwRMS9c000000. I attempted to make the object pathsAliases.lwrms.wndLwRMS9c*.LwRMS9c000000.LwRMS9c000000 which I believe is what you were trying to get at but it would not accept that. I am fairly unfamiliar with test complete and doing my best to learn more. I will talk to my boss about trying to get you more information. If you need more information please ask. Thanks again.2.8KViews0likes3CommentsDesktop Automation Window Update
I am currently attempting to automate my companies software however every time there is a new build the program window name is being incremented for example if I record an automation the application window will be lw00000 but if I am to update the program it will rename the window to lw00001 making TestComplete unable to locate the object in the renamed window. I have tried updating the the window name in the test which it does successfully but does not update the commands that are to be performed in the test. Each command has to be updated individually, which is slower than re-recording a new test. Is there a way that I can update the window name and keep the commands that are performed within that window? Thanks.Solved2.9KViews0likes7Comments
