 Syntax error in element dynamic identifiers

Syntax error in element dynamic identifiers

Error code: 0x80020006L

Problem

This issue happens when you use dynamic identifiers to identify UI controls, but the defined identifier has syntax errors.

Solution

Please read this topic to understand the dynamic identifier’s structure and syntax.

For convenience, you can obtain dynamic identifiers of UI controls quickly via either the point-to-identify tool or the Interface Viewer.

Special characters for dynamic identifiers

• Commas, square brackets, or equal signs

  If the property value of a dynamic UI control contains any of these special characters, TestArchitect might fail to parse the property value, since those characters are used as delimiters in a dynamic UI control. Therefore, the simple solution is to enclose the property value in single quotes.

  For example: Value of the value property is AAA1001, John Doe, Male. Its dynamic identifier will be as follows.

  [ta class=textbox, value='AAA1001, John Doe, Male']
