Launch Browser in Incognito/Private Mode
Thought of sharing the code in the community for launching browsers in their incognito modes. The function is parameterized such a way to run for the browsers Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Hope it will be useful for more people. function runIncognitoMode(browserName){ //var browserName = "firefox" //iexplore,edge,chrome,firefox if (Sys.WaitBrowser(browserName).Exists){ var browser = Sys.Browser(browserName); Log.Enabled = false // To disable the warning that might occur during closing of the browser browser.Close(); Log.Enabled = true // enabling the logs back } if(browserName=="edge"){ Browsers.Item(btEdge).RunOptions = "-inprivate" Delay(3000) Browsers.Item(btEdge).Run(); }else if (browserName=="iexplore"){ Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).RunOptions = "-private" Delay(3000) Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run(); }else if (browserName=="chrome"){ Browsers.Item(btChrome).RunOptions = "-incognito" Delay(3000) Browsers.Item(btChrome).Run(); }else if (browserName=="firefox"){ Browsers.Item(btFirefox).RunOptions = "-private" Delay(3000) Browsers.Item(btFirefox).Run(); } Sys.Browser(browserName).BrowserWindow(0).Maximize() }
xPath won't recognize
Hello, I am trying to create a generic mapped object using xPath. But for some reason TestComplete cannot find the element. I am trying to get the selected selector working. As it is now it doesn't seem to recognize the selector and it's using OR so it has to go through all the selectors, am I right? When deselecting, TestComplete does recognize the selector. But I want to create a general selector. And for some reason start-with doesn't work, because multiple results are found. I also checked the TestComplete documents to see if there is anything about this but I only get general xPath information. Is there anyone who can help me with this? Kind regards, Luuk
Unable to use wild card (*) in Mapped Name.
Hi, Please advise on how to use wild card * on already Mapped Name in TestComplete 14. Example below: Aliases.browser.pageTest8.buttonCancelled. The value pageTest8 keeps changing. I tried to add Aliases.browser.pageAtlas*.buttonCancelled but getting red cross against this line. Many Thanks, Az.
Chrome not detected as a browser object
When I try to access chrome while one of my projects is open, I can access chrome as a browser object (Sys.Browser("chrome")): But after I try another one of my projects under a different project suit, it can't seem to detect it as a Browser: This problem persists when I write subroutines in the scripts under this project (I'm using VBScript for both projects). Even if I record a test using TestComplete and it generates a subroutine using the browser object, it can't run the subroutine later on. Even if I open a new project under the project suite that's currently holding the problematic project, I can access the browser object. I can't seem to figure out what's different with this particular project that's stopping it from accessing the browser object. Could anyone give some possible reasons for this happening?
Ampersand affecting FindChild function
I'm using the .FindChild method to find objects in a table using a series of variables. The function sets a field in a form to a value (ex. x.setTest("ABC")) and submits the form, then tries to find a child object with "ABC" as the innerHTML. This succeeds. The next value is "A&C", submits find, appears on the table, but the .FindChild method isn't able to find it. I'm pretty sure it's the ampersand preventing it from being found. Unfortunately, the ampersand isn't optional. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tostig
