I try to use the EnableTimeout for my TestComplete actions. However it seems that this property is not supported. Can this be fixed or is there a reason for this behavior.
Notes:
- I ask this question because too often my TestComplete test do not end.
- When I press the "Terminate current action and stop build" button TestComplete is aborted. The same behavior would be acceptable for me on the Timeout.
Hi Herman
Which version/build of FinalBuilder and TestComplete are you using? The current version of FB6 has a testcomplete action which does have the TimeOut option on the RunTime Property page for TC 4/5/6.
I use FB 6.2 (build 1063) and TC 6.5 (I upgraded from 6.4 to 6.5 yesterday).
The problem I see is that I can set "Enable Timeout" in the "Action Timing Settings" window. When I press OK button in the "Action Settings" window, the "Runtime" tab of the "TestComplete 4/5/6 Project" window shows that the option is enabled. If I then press OK in the "TestComplete 4/5/6 Project" window and then open the " TestComplete 4/5/6 Project" window again the option is no longer set.
I also tried the alternative way of setting the option on the "Properties" tab of the "Design and Debug" tab of the main screen, but there nothing happens when I click on the checkbox.
I hope the above description clarifies my problem.
I seem to remember having the same problem some time back. Have you tried just setting the properties in the BeforeAction event?
Would be something like this:
Action.TerminateOnTimeout = true
Action.TimeoutLength = 5
I have not tried it, but it might work....

Ok, I was able to reproduce what you are seeing… looking into it now.
Hi Lars,
Thank you for you suggestion (I did not think of it).
I did not try it, but it is not working. I added one line to the script you proposes because the parameter I tried to set is EnableTimeout.
Action.EnableTimeout = true
Action.TerminateOnTimeout = true
Action.TimeoutLength = 1
Hi Vincent,
I tried Lars’ suggestion, but it is not working. Again the EnableTimeout property is not set (I checked this when the action was finished in the properties tab of the “Design & Debug” tab of the main window) and the TestComplete script was completed (in this case it run for about 4 minutes, whereas I set the TimeoutLength to 1).
Regards,
Herman
Of course I should have witten "I did try it"
Hi
Here’s a build with the fix for the enable timeout property not being remembered :
https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/620/FB620_1076.exe
I just downloaded and tested the new build. The timeout is now working for my TestComplete tests.
Many thanks for you amazingly fast response.
