Objects keep changing names

[janriis]

Hi all

My scripts wont run, probably due to some runtime change in object names.

example

Code:

Browser("Mercury Tours").Page("Mercury Tours")

Changes to: Browser("Mercury Tours_2").Page("Mercury Tours_2")

I can do a maintenance run, but that only helps temporarily until the next change.

Anyone who can help ?

Hi,

If you are using object repository.Your script will run only when QTP is able to identify the object.

In following cases QTP does not identify the object:

a) When dublicate object exist.

b) Object does not exist.

c) Object property micmatch.

In your case it's dublicasy of the the objects.

Hi Ankur

Its not duplicate objects that are the problem here. It is the way QTP sees the pages runtime. If i do a maintenance run, the pages get a _2, _3...etc. So instead of seeing:

Code:

Browser("Mercury Tours").Page("Mercury Tours")

it sees :

Code:

Browser("Mercury Tours_2").Page("Mercury Tours_2")
