Re: Community Day 2021 - Integrating OS X in the TestComplete Testing Process
I am new to TestComplete. It is nice to know that TestCompete can execute and validate applications running on OSX. Are there any plans to provide running of TestComplete on non Windows machines? Many of our users and developers run on mac computers. It would be nice to be able to run TestComplete natively on a Mac too.Are others having issues with running tests on different machines?
I am still running on an evaluation license. After creating a project and tests, I cloned the git repository to another machine. Now the new machine cannot find the test objects in the app. I understood that TestComplete was supposed to be where you could build once and then run anywhere. I can't afford to rebuild the object mapping every time I run the test on a different machine.Re: How do you parameterize object locators in TestComplete
OK, After getting this working I wanted to post What I actually did. I was not able to create the project string variable the way that Marsha_R described. ""beginningoflinkgoeshere"+Eval(referencetoexcelgoeshere)+"endoflinkgoeshere"" I consistently got an error whenever I used the Eval function in the "Set Variable Value" dialog. Inside of a script this may work just fine. I also could not concatenate the value from my table data with any other string in the "Set Variable Value" function. To get this to work I created a variable with just the table data in it. After that I was able to create the variable with the string that I needed. '//a[.="'+Project.Variables.SearchResultsTitleString+'"]' To set the locator property, I used the following. %SearchResultsTitleLocator% NOTE: you do not use the "Project.Variables." prefix when referencing the variable here. It is expecting this to be a project variable. Adding the prefix will cause a runtime error. Also, you have to enclose the variable name with "%". Now when I run my test, I can select the list element by the title name and get the specific Item that I am looking for. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !!!
