desktop application using web elements
Hello, community! I am using TestComplete version 15.69.139 x64. At this stage, I am creating automated tests for a desktop application, but after the latest release, some elements of the application were replaced with web elements. Now, I am unable to create proper automated tests because TestComplete does not recognize these elements. I tried adding the -cdpAutoSetPort parameter to the command-line parameters, but this did not solve the issue either. Could you please advise on how this can be resolved? Thank you!81Views0likes5CommentsTestComplete occasionally skipping a test step.
Hello all, I have made a test that has three steps, and am running it in an Azure DevOps pipeline. Step 1: Click 'Save and Close'. This is an ordinary button at the end of a form. Once it is clicked, the page takes some time to load the save (this varies between 3-20 seconds). During that time the page looks like this: Step 2: Click 'View Record'. This is a button that appears after the page has been loaded, and disappears about 5 seconds later. Note: Because of the variable time that it takes to save the record, I have set the Auto-wait Timeout for the step to be 30 seconds. This could then click on the object after the form was saved, no matter how long it took. Step 3: Click 'Save'. After the View Record button has been clicked, you are taken to the Record, and there is a Save button on the main page. Here are the three steps in the test: The test, when run in the pipeline, will occasionally fail with the following error: You would expect that the step right before the failure is Step 2: Click 'View Record'. But the picture shows that it is Step 1: Click 'Save and Close', and its place in the log also shows that it is Step 1. It jumps from Step 1 to Step 3: Click 'Save'. Of course, it can't find the Save button, because it hasn't clicked the View Record button (at least, there is no indication in the logs that it has). Does anyone have an idea of what is happening here? Thanks, littlebear34Views0likes5CommentsIs it possible to add Device Info from a remote browser to the Log Folder?
Hello All! We have tests running across multiple devices in a remote browser loop. Within that remote browser loop, we have a Data-Driven loop as we need to run the test with a few iterations of data before moving onto the next device/browser combination. The Data loop has "Append Log Folder" which pulls in a test condition variable from the data table. The Test Execution Summary shows me the browser that was used, but we'd also like to be able to see which device was used. Is this possible? Many Thanks in Advance!29Views0likes2CommentsTesting on a local iPad
Hello! We have certain tests which we need to carry out on a specific AppleID as it relates to an Apple Sandbox environment. This is currently all setup on a physical Apple iPad on my desk. It will be web tests that we're running on the Sandbox iPad However, I am completely at a loss as to how to get TestComplete to record the tests on the iPad. Is this even possible? Any help gratefully received! Thanks!16Views0likes1CommentExecution plan. Enable Disable redesign
Execution plan. Enabled/disabled The most often scenario for us: Run tests with only several items enabled. Items can be in different groups 1. The Context menu is complicated Every time I have to search for the proper option, when I expect it to be in the first, or second position Also often after disabling the part of the playlist I accidentally press 'Enable All' instead of 'Enable selected' and then I have to start from scratch because Ctrl+Z also does not work on this tab Just 'Enable' and 'Disable' menu items will be enough (maybe 'toggle' may stay, someone can use it) BUT enable or disable action should apply for all selected items So 'Enable all' action could be performed by pressing Ctrl+A and then ClickR, 'Enable\Disable|Enable' Same for 'Disable all' 2. Enabling the item does not enable the parent items So you have to click each parent manually. 3. Ctrl+Z should work in case of undo Enbled Disabled20Views0likes2CommentsKeyword Tests Removed
When running some automation tests an error was displayed saying unable to find element and everything crashed so needed to restart testcomplete. Once restarted the project now has no keyword tests section and all the tests in the execution plan have a little red x icon against them and can't be run. When looking in the keyword tests folder in the saved location a load of them seem to have gone. Any idea what may have caused this and how to recover them?27Views0likes1CommentWhich Object property triggers "Transparent or out of bounds" error?
Hello everyone! I would like to have a part of my Keyword Test click on an Object, if possible. Sometimes, however, there is a popup panel that takes the focus of the screen, and doesn't allow any interaction with the rest of the screen, where the Object is. In this case, TestComplete will throw an "Object is Transparent or our of bounds" error when I call the step to click on it. Right now I am trying to use an `if` statement to determine whether the Object can be clicked on by checking whether one of its properties is true or not. I have already tried the `Exists`, `Enabled`, and `Visible` properties. Is there another one that I should be using for this problem instead? Thanks,37Views0likes5CommentsMaking a URL semi-agnostic Page object in Keyword Test
Hello All, My question is quite brief. I am trying to automate a website with a Keyword test. Let's call it: https://www.test.com Suppose that after I save something on this website, the URL changes to: https:/www.test.com/12WJQ4L/ Afterwards, I want to do one or two actions on the screen, and then I close the page. The problem is that the end of the URL changes whenever you make different changes to the initial site. So next time I open, manipulate, and save the page, the URL is: https://www.test.com/63XTY8K/ In code, I'm sure you could do something to the effect of "https://www.test.com/" + * + "/" to identify the Page, but I don't see how I would use a code snippet in this case. Is it possible to create such a dynamic URL Page object in a Keyword test? Thank you,Solved20Views0likes3CommentsVideo recording of Text Execution
Hello to everyone! I installed the VideoRecorder Extension and the last version of VLC Media Player. When I try to record a test execution in the log tab the following sentence appears: "Unable to start video recording. The VLC recorder is not installed." Why does this message appear? I uninstalled and installed again VLC but it continues to appear. How could I solve this problem? Thanks in advance to everyoneSolved1.1KViews0likes7CommentsScreenshots in Keyword test to document steps
Hi! How to attach a screenshot in Smartbear's Testcomplete to a single test step of type 'Property Checkpoint' or of type 'Run Script Routine' in the keyword testing mode like is it done automatically during an 'On Screen Action' operation with 'Capture images' flag enabled the Visualizer settings? The option 'Tools' -> 'Current Project Properties' -> 'Visualizer' -> 'Collect Test Visualizer data during test run' -> 'Capture images' (activated) binds the screenshot to the script function and not to the calling keyword test step as expected.
