Script failing as the Object name changes for each build - Sri - 01-23-2008
Hi Ankur,
We have started using QTP recently in our office.I have started my regression suite with just 5 scripts and I am having difficulty maintaining those 5 scripts as the Object name that QTP assigns is changing for every build.How can I handle this time of scenarios in QTP ?
If you see at the following example. The names are different in 2 different build for the same object.
Build 1:
Code:
Browser("ADMServer Login").Page("ADMServer_3").WebEdit("ADMServerPanel1$ctl03$ctl05$Se_5").Set "100"Build 2:
Code:
Browser("ADMServer Login").Page("ADMServer_3").WebEdit("ADMServerPanel1$ctl03$ctl05$ct_51").Set "100"RE: Script failing as the Object name changes for each build - Ankur - 01-23-2008
Use regular expression here... I see only the last four letters/digits are changing in this case.
Go to object repository and change the description to
ADMServerPanel1$ctl03$ctl05$.*

Thank you for the reply Ankur. I had to alter a little bit more inorder for this to work. I changed it to .*\$.*\$.*\$.*

ok, good. Since we are using $ as a literal character and not as regular expression so u need to escape with \$ and not $
