Merge KeywordTests and NameMapping
we have been working with TestComplete for over 6 years now and it looks like we will be expanding rather than reducing test automation with TestComplete. We have different teams for different software products. There are often 2 people working on the same test automation project within a team. As we have integrated the TestComplete projects in the TFS source code management, it is no problem to check files in and out. What does cause us difficulties, however, is working on a file at the same time. This is about keyword tests but more about name mapping. Due to the XML structure and the GUIDs it contains, it is not possible to merge files after separate editing. However, this function would be very good and would significantly increase the effectiveness of everyday work with TestComplete. Now our request: Can you create a way to set up the project structure in such a way that merging is possible? Or can a tool be created within TestComplete that can handle the merging? There is the "Merge with" function for name mapping, but that is not what I mean and does not work in that sense. What would really make sense would be a project structure that allows files to be merged with a normal text editor or merge tool if they have been edited by 2 or more users at the same time. Can you implement something like this for TestComplete in the future?83Views2likes0CommentsRe: Press keyboard letter + mouse click
Hi Alex, I was able to use your suggestion with the LLPlayer successfully. The correct code for "p" is 80, so I can perfectly recreate the manual process and simulate it in automation. Thank you very much and also many thanks for all other answers 🙂 Greetings Klaus1.2KViews1like1CommentRe: Press keyboard letter + mouse click
Hi Alex, thank you for your answer! I've tried that already but it doesn't work. (I've tried it now a second time!) The click will be executed and the button will be pressed too I think, but it does not happen what I expect. greetings Klaus1.2KViews0likes4CommentsPress keyboard letter + mouse click
Hi TestComplete Community 🙂 my question is: Is it possible to hold a keyboard button and due this click the left mouse button? In my example I need to press "p" and while hat, the left mouse button has to be clicked. I know with the function Click() it is possible to press a mouse button while STRG/SHIFT/ALT is hold. But I don't need a control key, I need just a letter like "p". Is that possible in any way? Thanks in advance and best regards, Klaus from GermanySolved1.3KViews0likes6CommentsAdd multiple linked Events to a Project Suite
Just as it is possible to link KeywordTests and Scripts - and to use these links in events - it would be helpful if it is possible to link events several times within a Project Suite. This would make events controlled centralized possible from one project.871Views0likes1CommentStop TestComplete execution if application under test crashes
Hi SmartBear Community, I think my question is very simple but not so easy to understand. If the application under test crashes, TestComplete should either stop the test completely or switch to the next test item. The situation is as follows: 1. the application under test is started 2. several things are done in the application 3. an error occurs suddenly and the application is completely closed without any error message or other hints and the process is terminated. I.e. it no longer exists in the Windows system. The problem is now, that TestComplete doesn't notice any of this and the test execution simply continues. This means that one error comes after the other. In this case, however, the test execution should simply be stopped. Please do not send me the link with the SmartBear Support page where the topic "Tracing Exceptions, Crashes and Freezes" is covered. This doesn't help in case of a crash! Also in case of a crash the LogOnError event is not triggered. To add a check in several places in KeywordTests/Scripts would be a solution I would like to avoid! Is it still technically possible to do this in TestComplete? best regards and many thanks KlausSolved1.8KViews0likes2Comments
