Axe Test Automation Platform

Hi,

Upon clicking on the AxeTG button in the excel sheet, the below error is thrown:

Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.

but, upon closing the error, I'm able to load the subtest,test etc...

Smita

Hi Smita,

You would get an error like this if the Axe API wasnt registered. Are you sure you have installed the full Axe product on the machine and not just the Excel AddIn?

hi,

I've the full version. While creating the subtest using the object map i.e (open excel, click AxeTG, click on ... button, select the window and click generate button.)

now i'm getting, a different error as below:

error in hidden module: frmMain

suggest me plz

Hi Smita,

There could be something wrong with the format of your object map file. Can you load the object map cleanly in Axe itself? i.e. is it referenced in a config file that you have used to build tests from?
What execution tool are you using and with what object map format?
What is the exact version of Axe you are using?

(FYI, there is a completely new Excel AddIn in Axe 2.0 with lots of new features.)

Hi,

I'm using 1.5.4 and its full version.
I've tried with a simple object map like,

name  class  recstring
111  window Caption=wincaption
111.a edit  HTMLId=abcd
111.b button HTMLId=xyz

and name of the worksheet is ObjectMap and it is only the worksheet wavailable in this workbook. It is saved as 'XML worksheet'

While loading the object map into the excel sheet, it is loaded and window name appears, but upon clicking on the Generate button, it throws the error.

in the process above no need to add object map entry in the config file right ?
any way I did it and same error throws again.

Previously everything was fine. But, I've added some free addins available in the net like, duplicate remover in excel, merge cell values, find and replace in multiple worksheets at a time etc.. Would it be aproblem ?

suggest me.

Hi Smita,

It sounds like you have answered your own question i.e the problem has been caused by one of the free third party addins you installed.

I suggest you remove the add-ins one by one until you find out which one caused it.

The new Axe AddIn in Axe 2.0 uses VSTO instead of VBA so there is a chance it might play better. If you send us the info on the offending AddIn we can check out out.

hi,

I've tried by uninstalling all the free addins for excel. But, the error still appears.

I've uninstalled IE7. Now I'm able to load the object map and the error got disappeared.

Thanks
Smita

Hi Smita,

That sounds very odd to me. There is absolutely no reason why the Axe add-in should be effected by IE7 and we have never encountered any issue like that before. It might be worth reinstalling Axe and IE7 on a clean environment if you get a chance.
