Clicking on Button while page is still scrolling
TestComplete is trying to click on web page buttons while the screen is still scrolling the object into view. This is causing scripts to fail as it's either now clicking the wrong button or clicking where the button used to be but no longer is. If I put a hover before the click it fixes the issue, but that will be a lot of extra steps in every script to hover before clicking any button. Is there a delay I can set to have it not click the button while still scrolling into view?
Edge browser compatibility
Hi all, with latest Test Complete and Test Execute version (15.63) we are experiencing lot of issues with the Edge browser interaction, for our web tests. For example, the following errors and exceptions makes not possible to correctly execute the tests: Unable to navigate exceptions: Other strange exceptions when launching Edge: We have found this page: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/supported-browsers-and-technologies.html , where it is listed that the supported browser version is: Microsoft Edge 83 - 121 (Chromium-based, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) Since the 121 version is a very old one (released on December by Microsoft), Test Complete is really not supporting any new versions of this browser? Or is this page hopefully containing obsolete information? Currently we have got the version 123, since the browser is updated automatically by O.S. and Edge browser cannot be downgraded. Could you please let us know if latest versions are really not supported? Regards, Simona
Test wont do anything after move
Hello! So we moved test complete from one computer to another and now the tests wont run. It wont even navigate chrome anymore. First thing it says is the warning "SmartBear test extension is not installed or is disabled" which is not true. It is enabled, i also re-installed it but still warning. Then it just throws and Exception for no reason. Im trying to navigate to the specific test site but nothing works after the move, did i miss something?General Exception raised within Run Browser action
Hi all, I'm falling in an random error for which I'm not able to find the root cause nor a workaround. I'm using TestComplete/TestExecute 15.66.7.7 version. The automation test is simply opening an Edge browser instance and navigating to the needed url; then, the needed validation web test steps are executed. Within this simple operation sometimes the Test Execute falls in an exception, for which the log doesn't provide so much information. The message is "Exception occured". From the picture, I can see that the browser is still loading the page. That is: it seems that TestExecute is not waiting for the complete loading of the page for the navigation. The strange thing is that, as you can see from the log below, the test is next correctly executed (the browser interactions are correctly done) but, for that strange Exception, the automated test is marked as failed (by providing a wrong information, since the needed validations are actually passed). I'm simply using the Run Browser action to open browser and navigate to the needed url (saved within a project variable): Please see the generated log below for more details. Could you suggest me a way to prevent this exception or the possible root causes for it?
Marking new checkboxes
Hi! I'm new to testcomplete. I'm working on some web tests and I'm learning how to use testcomplete at all. Well, I wanted to do a test with some checkboxes, the page works in such a way that there are 5 checkboxes per page, being able to increase this number with a list. Once a person is selected and a request is created, their checkbox is disabled so that the chosen user only has one request in progress. Then the next testcomplete run tells me the error that the checkbox is not accessible since it sees it disabled. Is it possible to tell testcomplete to look for the closest checkbox that is available so that it automatically selects it? Oh, sometimes when I use the object spy tool to manually tell testcomplete to check another box that is available at that time simply ignores me and launches the same error, even when I do the highlight thing to see if my mark was on the right spot. Idk why this happens, maybe is a code error I'm only using keyword test bc I'm so noob with code and scripts. Thank u in advance and have a great day ☀️Chrome browser starts with Sad Face
Struggling with existing test scripts starting a Chrome Browser. The code works fine on my laptop, but other team members have different behaviors. I use Browsers.item[chrome].Run() to start my browser. Where it fails, Chrome starts, one empty tab page with a sad face. No mather what I try to open on the browser links, new tabs, it is like we have not internet or no priviledge at all. I did go through configuration steps. The TestComplete extension is colored on Chrome, the TestComplete has Desktop, web amd Mobile Extensions installed and ticked. Running TestComplete and Testexecute 15.71 on Windows 11 with 125.0.6422 Any suggestions is welcomeAsserting table/grid data
My web applications uses AG Grid. I don't believe that is specifically supported by TestComplete so I am struggling to find the best way to still utilize TC and validate my table. The Table Checkpoint feature seems not usable. The table is not recognizable but with OCR it can create a table store but the data it extracts is somewhat messed up and thus not a good baseline to use. When I fix the data in the store the comparison fails because it is reading the data from AG Grid incorrectly. I can map individual cells of the table but this does not seem like a good approach. Does anyone have any suggestions or best practices for working with grids when it is not supported by TC?
mapped elements in headless mode does not return child elements
Hi folks, I'm recently trying to run my web-based tests in headless mode and I found a blocking issue that the mapped elements does not have child elements. Therefore, FindChild method (and other Find methods) fails to find child elements in such element. The mapped element alone is found. It just shows ChildCount = 0. Please see the attached image. Does anyone experience the same issue?
Name Mapping not working on remote browser
The name mapping and test cases work fine on local browsers, but would complain about page or object not found when running headless remote browsers and in parallel testing. I have the following setup for browser name mapping: For headless setup I have: server = "localhost" capabilities = { "browserName": "chrome", "headless" : "true", "screenResolution": "1920x1080", "platform" : "Headless", "record_video": "true" } Browsers.RemoteItem[server, capabilities].Run(url) Is this the correct way to work with name mapping on headless browser?
