What does the "Warning" in the Result Details mean from object.WaitProperty "visible", "True", 60000

[Molina4321]

When you have a statement that checks for the "visible" property using the .WaitProperty method, what does it mean when you get this "Warning" in the results file or results viewer?

The code is like:

object.WaitProperty "visible", "True", 60000

You run the script on one Android device and no Warnings, no Errors. Run the same script on another Android device and still no Errors but with a "Warning" in the Result Details pointing to the Step Name with the .WaitProperty.

Thanks.

This means you have Smart Identification Property for that object set to 'True'. So whenever UFT is not able to recognize an object and if the Smart Identification Property is set to 'True', it will invoke a series of algorithms to identify the element SMARTLY, but will send a warning status to the report suggesting Smart identification was used to identify this element.

Two options to counter this:

Disable warning for Reporter.Reportevent for all test executions progrmatically

or

Set Smart Identification to 'False', this will fail the test next time and you can add additional properties for that object to be recognized at all times.

Hence as a best practice it is always recommended to disable smart identification when adding objects to repository

Hi BlbinC,

Thanks for the info.

All the objects I added in the Object Repository has Enable Smart Identification set to False.  However, I just checked the Test Run dialog in Settings and saw that the checkbox to Disable Smart Identification is unchecked. With this checkbox now checked, I will rerun my test.

The weird thing is that when I run my test on those newer faster mobile devices, I don't get this Warning in the Result Details. This Warning shows up only when I run the test on slower devices.

The line of code causing the Warning is:

object.WaitProperty "visible", "True", 60000

I could not find any documentation explaining why a Warning here is getting triggered so I thought maybe the wait of 60000 is not enough (my guess)?

Thanks.

Gilbert,

You guessed it correctly.

A warning in this case means that the 'visible' property value didn't match the expected value  'True',  even after waiting for 60000 milli seconds and the result of this step is 'False'. Note that the Test still passes but with a warning at the Step Level.

blnResult = object.WaitProperty("visible", "True", 60000)

blnResult here is False. 

If you don't like warnings in your reports, you can suppress it by using the Reporter.Filter method.
