Objects not found after new pages slide out on web site that uses Slick Carousel

I am writing an automation test against a site that uses Slick Carousel ( http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/ ).  There are 3 or 4 pages in this carousel.  When the action button is pressed, the pages...

    Doing a refresh of the mapping info, on page 2 of the carousel, seemed to fix this.  I also added a delay to make sure the refresh was done:

     

         Call NameMapping.Sys.browser.RefreshMappingInfo()
        
        'Wait for refresh to occur
         aqUtils.Delay 2000

     

    Now, Test Complete can see the items on page 2 of the carousel.  I expect the same to work for pages 3 and 4 as well.

I'm still pretty new to TC but usually when I have a problem like that, then it is likely that I have a property that is dynamic.  Did you use object spy to check if maybe the ID of the objects in the carousel are changing?  If that is the case then you could probably fix it with wildcard(*).

 

Another thing to consider is that maybe you need to put a delay after the button is pressed.  It may also be the case that TC was too fast.  As in, TC started looking for the object before the object was loaded thus was unable to find it.

    Ya, I had actually looked at the F12 Developer console also to see what the id was when I put a break point on this problem spot.  Everything was checking out correctly.  I also put a long pause or even let the break point sit there for plenty of time ( a minute or more ) and that did not help.  Those are very good ideas though.  Thanks!  I posted the solution that worked for me ( although I am sure there are other solutions that could work also. )
