Electron application Object Browser shows only generic "Panel" objects in tree

[jmoe]

I've worked a lot with TestComplete on Java/JavaFX desktop apps.  This is my first encounter with Electron.  It does not seem correct that 99%+ of the objects are generic Panels.  There are very few other object types such as a "Select" or "Textbox."   It seems like there must be a configuration missing.  I have the extensions

- Chromium Embedded Framework Support and Web Testing both enabled.  Am I missing something?  TIA.

Have you been through all these requirements?

Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, all requirements met.  Please see attached for an example of my object tree.  TC finds the objects through Object Spy (red-highlights individual objects).  But as mentioned, all (almost all) are id'd as Panel objects.  Very limiting for identification and useful methods/functions.

OK...update.  It looks like we're using an ancient version of Electron - 1.6.  Good grief.  I see TC starts support at 1.8.2.  LOL.  Maybe that's it.

What version of TestComplete and Electron are you using?

[jmoe]

TC 14.81 and Electron 1.6 (noted in post above).

(Thanks for the info.  Note that we can't always see secondary posts while we are answering ones above it.)

Sure, of course 🙂 

Any chance there's a workaround for an older Electron version?  Trying to get approval on a newer version of Electron may take us a looong time LOL.

Best thing to do is ask Support about that directly.  Here's a link:
