Error during execution of QTP script

[prasadworld321]

if an error occur during execution of QTP script, how can i get the name of the current object that causes the error???

It will show up in the results file. In case you want to get the VBS error description you can use err object.

Hi Ankur,
I found very interesting and helpfull tips here but this time it seems a little bit hard for me to find the answer on my own.
My scripts purpose is to fullfill a .xls file (OK/KO) while testing its values with those that appear on a website.

I have a "General run error" = 2147467259 when any of these 2 statements are executed :
1)

Code:

Chaine = cElements(0).GetROProperty("innertext")
with
Set wElement=Description.Create()
wElement("micclass").Value="WebElement"
wElement("class").Value="PSSRCHEDITBOXLABEL"
Set cElements=Browser().Page().PSFrame().ChildObjects(wElement)

2)

Code:

Chaine = cComps(n).GetROProperty("innertext")
with
Set cComp=Description.Create()
cComp("micclass").Value="WebElement"
cComp("class").Value="PSTEXT"
Set cComps=Browser().Page().PSFrame().ChildObjects(cComp)

The error seems to happen when about 9000 lines from my xls file are processed, which make me think to some kind of overflow/memory error.

Could you (or anyone here) help me with this ??
Thanks in advance
Alain

I have the same issue with ChildObjects on a web page. In some cases I found this helps:

Code:

wElement("class").RegularExpression = "false"

It seems some description objects use Regular Expressions to do the search, this turns it off and in the case of using "html tag" it does make the search for ChildObjects quicker and less error prone with there are a large number of objects.

However, it will still fail if there are x-thousands of objects. This occurs in QTP 9.5 and 10, so there is a limit to the number of objects it can handle. The only "work around" I can find is:

Code:

on error resume next
Set cComps=Browser().Page().PSFrame().ChildObjects(cComp)
if not isEmpty(cComps ) then
    'do something
else
    Reporter.ReportEvent micWarning, "cComps", "Returned Empty"
end if
on error goto 0

The error you are getting is because the variable is null/empty, I think. So you have to handle that and let your code continue. I just record the message and move on letting my devs no I can't test that many objects, usually a table, and they need to break it up if possible, or provide test data that doesn't fail.

Hope this helps.

Actually, i couldn't get the programm to process more that 15.000 lines from my excel file before it get too slow. I'll have to launch the programm twice. I have far too much objects in my different collections.
