WebModule issues with Virtual Machine
I am currently using TestComplete in a Virtual Machine. I am using the Edge browser for the Web Module. When I use ObjectMapper/Object Spy to select a web element, it highlights the entire browser window rather than the specific web element. The components get highlighted sometimes, but in most of the cases, it highlights the whole page. I am not sure why this is happening, as it works as expected sometimes, but mostly fails to recognise the web element. I am pretty much sure that this is not because of the component being embedded or dynamically displayed, as I have tried to capture the web elements in other webpages too(Amazon, eBay), but the same thing happens. Could someone please help me to understand what the issue could be and how we could fix this? FYI: I have not tried it in other browsers yet, as the SmartBear extension has not been installed by the management yet. Any help would be much appreciated.Object Recognition Challenges? Help Us Understand Your Use Cases
Hello TestComplete Community! We’re working on a new Visual Object Detection (VOD) capability powered by AI, designed to make it easier to test applications where traditional object recognition struggles. This feature aims to help you reliably identify visual elements that are hard to detect today. To make sure we’re building this in the most useful and relevant way, we’d love to learn more about your current challenges and use cases related to visual or hard-to-recognize objects. Your real-world scenarios will help shape how we design and prioritize VOD. Feel free to share your thoughts by replying directly to this post, or send me a private message if you prefer.

TC\TE - ObjectSpy issue with latest MS Edge 138.0.3351.121
Just checking to see if others experience this issue. For the most part, the rest of the products I automate and their frameworks do not have this issue. I have one product, that does not change that must from developer changes. It has always worked until a few months back when ... Scripts that worked previously are failing due to TC\TE unable to penetrate the webpage to find the web elements as usual. Scripts can log into the application, but from there ... ObjectSpy can only outline the outer boundary. Manually going into Object Browser with the web page open, I can see and go the the page objects (highlight on screen) that the test script should be finding when running the script. But since not able to penetrate the web page and ObjectSpy red line outlines the outer panel, the value I am trying to enter into a text box jumps up to the MS Edge URL section. I have uninstalled/re-installed the latest TC\TE to verify issue still exists. TestExecute extention is in the Edge browser. I know MS Edge updated around this time period. This is issue is not encountered with Chrome, just MS Edge ? I had opened an IT ticket for this and worked with support, but no solution came from it. I am thinking of switching to using Chrome instead of MS Edge, but this issue bugs me for why it stopped working. I continue to try different things from day to day. This issue has killed my automation for this product. Suggestions? Has this issue been reported from others, and work-around or patches available?
