Re: Facing "Ambiguous object recognition" warning for several objects
Hi Poornima, Try these: Increase the 'Auto wait timeout period' in project settings Improve mapping information of target object: by adding some additional attributes in identification properties Improve mapping information of parents (of the target object): a) by by adding some additional attributes in identification properties, b) by adding a greater number of nodes in object tree hierarchy Disable the 'Show ambiguous warning' for the object Note: Step 4 does not solve the problem just masks the warning in logs. And it is quite possible that your script may fail when run on remote machine or under some different environment and configuration (like screen resolution) P.S : I am still working for the concrete solution (or you can say, a satisfying workaround) to this problem. BR, Shivam5KViews2likes1CommentRe: Facing "Ambiguous object recognition" warning for several objects
Issue is not resolved but rather problem is complicated. Mapping parents and increasing the attributes for identification makes the Object Repository cumbersome (and not helpful). Tool is able to eliminate some of the warnings though by just increasing the Auto wait timeout period. When there are too many nodes in the hierarchy the tool is not smart enough to reach the target object. On the other hand if I cut down the parents (in order to decrease number of nodes), then there is ambiguous warning. And there are not enough ID attributes that i can take into consideration. So, at the moment, I am bypassing such objects in my project and trying to find alternate ways to test that element or feature.5KViews0likes4CommentsFacing "Ambiguous object recognition" warning for several objects
I am facing "Ambiguous recognition of tested object" warning several times on various pages and objects of my web application. I have tried to improve the mapping information for these objects by adding some additional attributes in identification properties. But it does not help. And this problem causes other issues like too much time for identifying, other times script fails! I have seen in Object browser that TestComplete identifies the HTML hierarchy as panels mostly (no matter if it is DIV,SPAN,INPUT,KENDOBOX, etc). And it will be ridiculous to add most of the parent hierarchy into NameMapping! Also, FindChild method is not working as parent itself does not have Identifiable attributes (as per Tool's OI). Does anyone know a solution to this? TIA.Solved5.2KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Cannot use Wildcards for Dynamic object path and dynamic IDs of AJAX application
Thank you tristaanogre and LinoTadros for the suggestions. As you mentioned either we need to raise a ticket for DEV to improve these points. Secondly, limiting our tests to only one or two languages seems to me a good and easy solution at the moment (if the stakeholders agree).2.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: Cannot use Wildcards for Dynamic object path and dynamic IDs of AJAX application
Ya, that is clear. But what about multilanguage applications ? In the application that I am testing has language switching option. And every customer has his own language library. That would be last option to do object recognition and validation with text content. (That too with multiple OR gates with different translated texts for each language). Is there any other thing we can do to reduce this kind of maintenence effort in future?2.5KViews0likes2CommentsCannot use Wildcards for Dynamic object path and dynamic IDs of AJAX application
Hi everyone, I am testing and Ajax application and facing problem with Dynamic object IDs. I am trying to use wild cards but it is not possible mos of the times as there are multiple objects in the hierrachy with same Classname/ObjectType properties. See screenshots. The only difference these objects have are the properties that I don't want to use for object identification (like height, width, conztent, text, ID, offset and similar...) because we have seen in the past that either these props change in different enviornment or Development team can change these (lijke childs, ID) anytime over a period of time. Is there any foolproof method for object recognition which I can try in name mapping? TIA ShivamSolved2.5KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Feature request: Copy variables from one keyword test to another
Thanks for the great insight into the company's priortization strategy. 6 years and still this petty feature couldn't be added. So, it's better move on and to assume it will not be fixed in next 6 as well (probably due to other "high priority" tasks)... Nevertheless, thanks for confirming the assumption.2.2KViews0likes1Comment
