JR64567: "COULD NOT FIND TESTCONTROL FOR CONTROLTYPE= AND FRAMEWORKID:WIN32" DURING EXPAND TREE COMMAND EXECUTION

21.0.2-IBMRPA-IF003

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When navigating under lists using the command ExpandTree in IBM
  RPA and the target applications are Win32-based applications the
  following exceptions is thrown:
  
  System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. --->
  TestStack.White.Mappings.ControlDictionaryException: Could not
  find TestControl for ControlType= and FrameworkId:Win32
    at TestStack.White.Mappings.ControlDictionary.GetTestControlT

  frameWorkId, Boolean isNativeControl)

  The problem is related to the Lists (ListView and ListBox) which
  are controllers of Win32-based applications and the way the
  expandTree command handle those kind of controllers. The
  expandTree command can't recognize properly the list items
  inside List Box and List View.
  

Local fix

• Users can workaround this issue by the following script:
  
  defVar --name controlXPath --type String --parameter
  defVar --name scriptsFolder --type String --parameter
  defVar --name treePath --type String --parameter
  defVar --name interval --type TimeSpan --parameter
  defVar --name nodes --type List --innertype String
  defVar --name node --type String
  defVar --name window --type Window --parameter
  setVarIf --variablename "${interval}" --value "00:00:02" --left
  "${interval}" --operator "Equal_To" --right 0
  setVarIf --variablename "${controlXPath}" --value
  "/root/tree[1]" --left "${controlXPath}" --operator
  "Is_Null_Or_Empty"
  setVarIf --variablename "${treePath}" --value "Hardware
  Resources\\DMA" --left "${treePath}" --operator
  "Is_Null_Or_Empty"
  waitWindow --useregex  --regexPattern System --regexOptions "0"
  window=value
  attachWindow --window ${window}
  splitString --text "${treePath}" --delimiteroption
  "CustomDelimiter" --customdelimiter "\\" nodes=value
  foreach --collection "${nodes}" --variable "${node}"
  	click --selector "Name" --doubleclick  --controlsimilarity 100
  --forcerefresh  --name "${node}"
  	delay --timeout "${interval}"
  endFor
  
  This script clicks on each controller of the Win32 application
  by name until the last item of the tree is found.
  
  
  It's necessary that users adapt it to their application and
  the correct tree path.
