Best method to correct NameMapping/xpath after Object position changes?
Hi. Some context first: The app uses several buttons on a banner, stored in <div> elements. The Namemapping assigns these with xpath from left to right. The question mark gets '//div[1]', the globe is '//div[2]' etc. to simplify. One update later, the app has a new button put in front of the others in the banner. Now this button claims '//div[1]'. My keyword tests don't notice this change at first and click the wrong button positions due to all of them shifting one place in the HTML. Nothing fails at first, because technically there's a button to click, just not the right one. Naturally, all of my test start failing soon after arriving on the wrong pages. Changing every div index position in the Namemapping xpath seems like the obvious solution, but it becomes tedious when updates like these happen so often. I tried Self-Healing, but it doesn't always work. Is there a way to automatically recognize and correct this? Thanks in advance.21Views0likes2CommentsTestComplete can't detect elements in Microsoft WebView2 window

I am trying to create a test that enters text into boxes on a pdf form that has been opened in Microsoft Edge but when I run the keyword test all that happens is the test scrolls to the last page of the pdf, it does not enter any text. When I apply Object Spy to the pdf in the browser it is only able to recognize the whole webpage, it cannot recognize individual objects on the pdf form. Is it possible for TestComplete to enter text into a pdf form that has been opened in a browser? A sample pdf form is attached.17Views0likes1CommentPulling in Dynamic Links from a web page

Up to now, my testing with one part of this product suite has been fairly smooth with some judicious wild cards in Name Mapping. But now I am working in the other part (anAdmin module), and it's making me crazy. Scenario: -All objects in the app are very badly labelled in the native code. Imagine a structure where the first object is mapped in the Object Browser as "Foo:Form > Foo:FooContainer > FooFrame" , and the next as "FooForm1>FooWMDClient>FooForm>FooFrame", and the third as...well, you get the idea. I've been trying to wild card full names in the Name Mapping Editor, but that hasn't helped with the problem in the next bullet point. I can start up recording a keyword test, successfully complete it, but then immediately after I can right-click on an element in the test and select "Highlight", and TestComplete will tell me that object doesn't exist. Any suggestions from people who have faced similar scenarios would be appreciated.Solved58Views0likes3CommentsclickItem() is not properly selecting dropdown value
