| Properties for validation: | Note: The following fields are available only if you select the Fail If Error Occurs checkbox. Provide the following field values that you want to validate: | |
| 6 | Windows Path/Title | Windows Path and Title are explained as follows: Windows Path is the relative path of the desktop application on which element exists. Enter Windows path manually in Step Configuration. Windows path may be provided as a String or regex. Sample of Windows Path as string: w[Desktop]/w[Application Name] ORSample of Windows Path as regex: w[Desktop]/w[/Application N/], w[Desktop]/w[/Application .*/], If you are putting partial application name then put ii as a regex between / and /. Also, if the Application name changes dynamically, it is a good idea to provide it as a regex. Window Title is the title of the Windows Application. (i.e. Application Name).Note: When specifying ‘Window Path/Title’ make sure that no other application, window or folder with the same title is open, else it may lead to confusion at runtime. If you get an error like “Window is not available or not loaded in specified time”, make sure that the Windows Path/Title, Path and application startup time are correctly specified. |
